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.
looking for cheapest xen hosting.
any under $4 and allow max quarterly payment???
any ram <64meg will do. just for playing around….
tnx
Denny,
I’ll find that the only provider at the moment offering Xen VPS less than $4/month is VPSLink with their special here, where you need to prepay 1 year (and get the second year free).
I don’t recommend GretzkyHosting to anyone. The owners are really immature and will terminate your account for no reason.
For the sake of fairness to Gretzky Hosting, and also to be more helpful to the community, I wonder if you could give us actual specifics of your complaint with Gretzky Hosting? Just saying that the owners are immature amounts to no more than name-calling. Since all businesses exist to make money, and they do that by keeping customers, I sincerely doubt that they just terminate paying accounts for no reason at all. Was there some misunderstanding, perhaps?
And for those who might wonder, no, I don’t work for Gretzky Hosting. I’m not even a customer of theirs. I just think that when you post a negative comment, you need to back it up with facts.
