More exclusive offers on the way! Erick from G&Z Host emailed me their promo code lowendbox, which gives you $4 recurring discount when you purchase their Xen – Hydrogen package, which brings the price down to $6.95/month. You get
- 256MB memory
- 10GB storage
- 200GB/month data transfer
- Xen/SolusVM
According to their network page, the servers are with Colo4Dallas in Texas, while their website is in Los Angeles. The test IP however gets around 60%+ packet loss when I tried to ping it — not too sure what’s going on there.
The “company” itself started in 2010 — in fact the domain was only registered last month, with WHOIS protection turned on. While there does not seem to be a way to know who are the people behind the company, I do trace it to an IP address in El Salvador.

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.
My ping result from Colo4Dallas: –
looks like Quadranet’s Rack inside of Colo4dallas and
not actually colo4dallas.
Their network is kind of funky. I have a vps in softlayer dallas
and the traceroute to 96.44.188.21 actually goes to chicago and then
back to dallas 🙂
I can’t copy and paste for some reason but I;m getting nearly the same results as Wing up there off of a Public wireless network.
Forgot to point out:
No swap? (I think Xen is the one with swap and not burst memory.)
We have some problem with the kernel that is why you see packet loss and now is corrected
@drmike
We have swap in all xen packages and is the same as the dedicated ram.
