Rus, of Thrust::VPS who recently purchased GigeVPS from Jacob (who purchased HostLatch in July from Adam), sent me an exclusive offer for the LowEndBox readers. 30% recurring discount when you use promo code LEBSEPT, which I guess will expire at the end of September. Better than their 25% off discount on WHT at the moment :) That also means you can get the following VPS for $6.97/month (Ordering link).
- 512MB memory
- 30GB storage
- 300GB/month data transfer on 1Gbps
- OpenVZ/SolusVM
GigeVPS was with HostDime in Orlando I believe. As it is now under the same management I think it is fair to compare with Thrust::VPS’s East Coast OpenVZ VPS, which is $1/month cheaper, 1/2 the disk space, but a lot more monthly data.

LowEndBoxTV: Is Your VPS or Web Hosting OVERSOLD? 🤔 How to Check!
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.
> 3000GB/month data transfer on 1Gbps
it’s 300, not 3000 on the ordering page.
Oops. Fixed.
ADAM is running another one ;) He sold this but he has another good VPS site. And I’m satisfied with him. Anyway, if Gigs run by ThurstVPS then it will be sucks due to worst performance and support as well.
Looks good – Seems like the guy behind this is doing well for himself.
Jack.
Adam did not sell “Hostlatch”. He gave it to Jacob and Jacob sell it to ThrustVPS. I still have one server with GigeVPS and I don’t think there will be any migration of any servers so the performance should be okay. My server with them seems stable now.
We have got a series of improvements planned. Firstly we will not be renumbering or moving datacenter. What we are definitely doing is upgrading the internal systems. We are also going to be updating the ticketing system and ssl’ing solusvm. We will also be bring gigevps.net to the UK
Rus, I was wondering why all emails sent by the system is not received in my email (Gmail). It is inside “my emails” but I did not receive anything via email.
Did it go to your spam folder?
Hopefully GigeVPS’s VPSes will not move out from Florida DC.
I’m having problems with this provider for 3 days to setup rDns. Very slow support…
Sorry but my bad experience with Hostlatch makes me stay away from these folks.
GigeVPS is now under new management so we have taken some large strides to upgrade the infrastructure and distance itself from previous owners/takeovers
It’s more than 12 hours since I ordered VPS from gigeVPS. where’s their 5 mins guaranteed setup?
