I once knew a car dealer and he told me that there are people who will walk onto a car lot, look at the car’s sticker price, and agree to pay that without any attempt to find a deal. These people are called “grapes” because they are easily picked.
If you’re looking for hosting, don’t be a grape! We posted a quick video on LowEndBoxTV comparing the first four search results from Google versus the last four offers we posted on LEB.
Typical Google result: $6 per 1GB VPS.
Typical LEB result: up to four times the resources for less money!
Enjoy:

Haha. Grape is a great metaphor!
They were probably using “money cheats” and the poor car dealer didn’t even know. 🤣
First time I am hearing the grape metaphor!
Haha, I totally get it even if this is the first time hearing that metaphor. So funny.
