  1. I wouldn’t recommend this. It seems really wrong, also it is new!

    $5.00+ for 128 MS OpenVZ VPS? You can get 128 MB OpenVZ from other more established providers for like $15/year. They are also new, I don’t view this as a lowend offer :)

    • I would like to know what other people think as well. I don’t like this offer because it seems really expensive since it’s using OpenVZ.

      $5/mo leaves more profit, so in theory more sustainability.

      I wouldn’t pay $5/month for such tiny resources, unless there’s something extra special about netelligent.

    • Yeah. Initially LowEndBox was about low-spec VPS and dedicate servers, and most of them are cheap :) I don’t find anything wrong with $5/month 128MB box as long as they perform well.

      However I’ll rule this provider out for now as it is too new for my liking.

        Yeah, an unknown provider might be worth a punt if it’s super cheap, but for this money there are better offers (on paper at least) out there.

  2. They’re hosting a known spammer:
