Servers with Hurricane Electric’s data center in Fremont CA (test IP: 184.105.172.195). Current website shows 90’s designs, saying “Re-Opening Promotion” — which I presume that they must have somehow closed, and then re-opened the business again. Domain has been registered since February 2010, but WHOIS info is currently masked by privacy guard. However, on another domain owned by the same owner, “pewf.in”, contains possibly his actual profile including birthdate and other info. WHOIS of that domain also points to a local high school.
Anyway. This industry is nothing short of teenage boys making their first entrepreneurial effort. HE’s DC in Fremont also seems to be quite popular. So take your bet :)

LEA (LowEndAdmin) is the original founder of LowEndBox and the visionary who gave rise to an entire movement around minimalist, efficient hosting. In 2008, LEA launched LowEndBox with a simple but powerful idea: that it was possible to run meaningful applications, web servers, VPNs, mail servers, and more – on small, low-cost virtual machines with minimal resources.
At a time when most infrastructure discussions were dominated by high-end servers and enterprise platforms, LEA championed the opposite approach: lightweight Linux distros, self-managed servers, open source software, and thoughtful optimization. This philosophy gave birth to the term “Low End Box”, which would come to define a new genre of hosting tailored to developers, tinkerers, and budget-conscious users around the world.
Through LowEndBox and its companion forum, LowEndTalk, LEA built the foundation for what would become one of the most active and enduring communities in the hosting world, prioritizing knowledge-sharing, transparency, and accessibility.
After several years of nurturing the site and community, LEA stepped away from active involvement, passing the torch to a new generation of admins, contributors, and moderators. Today, LEA remains a respected figure in the LowEnd ecosystem, credited with launching a platform and philosophy that continues to influence thousands of infrastructure providers and users globally.
LowEndBox’s legacy, and its thriving community, is a direct result of LEA’s original vision.
Probably get more shit for this by anonymous comments but looks like he had a problem setting up Virtualizor:

I include that just for background information. Feel free to question and insult. Getting used to it.
YOU SUCK!
(Actually, I do enjoy your insight/comments :)
it would appear they don’t use SSL for order processing..
Hey everyone,
I’m Joseph Le, the owner of Ethelite Hosting.
The bit about Virtualizor is true. I did have trouble getting Virtualizor to work. Virtualizor didn’t really give me much of an error message to work with in the first place but I did figure it out in the end. Since then though, I’ve switched to SolusVM. Virtualizor wasn’t as mature as I hoped it would be.
Ethelite Hosting’s reopening is more of a relaunch. Ethelite Hosting’s relaunch is an attempt to aggressively compete against other providers. Ethelite Hosting is now back and strong as ever with clients worldwide!
You’re getting servers at HE through a german company? o.O
No, I own my VPS nodes in Fremont. The nodes are colocated in the same cabinet as the German company.
Why would I buy this if Thrust VPS offering 1 GB KVM for 3.00$?
If you’re referring to the deal featured on LEB, ThrustVPS was offering a UK-based 1GB KVM for £3.95 not $3. This is in British pounds not US dollars as well.
While this price is cheaper, it looks like they have run out.
TrustVPS isn’t reliable. I’ve heard a lot of really bad things about them. I’m currently with Ethelite and I love the service!
