Our reader Marcel emailed me about a Germany hosting provider he uses for his production servers — Heckrath.net. The site is pretty much all in German, and here is their VPS page. For €2.99/month (~USD$3.85) you can get the following VPS
- 128MB memory
- 5GB storage
- 300GB/month data transfer
- OpenVZ/custom panel
Their website traces to Hetzner DC in Germany. They also provide 2 backups slots, which enables you to take snapshot of your VPS and restore back to that state later.

The Founder at LowEndBox
The original owner of LowEndBox known as LowEndAdmin or LEA for short founded LowEndBox in 2008 and created the concept of hosting applications on low resource Low End Boxes. After creating the roots of the community that we know today, LEA stepped aside and allowed others to carry the torch forward.

Might give these guys a go in the next week or so. I’ve been looking for a EU-based vps where IRC isn’t explicitly banned. These guys block port 6667 but don’t say you can’t use IRC.
@ LEA – the wording on the website seems to suggest that the 2.99 euros/month package comes with no backup slots, unless I’m misreading something.
The website is in German … lol
FYI (a bit translation ;):
Contact info@heckrath.net to get a one week trial of any Basic, Standard, Advanced VPS.
Backups / Snapshots slots is 2 for Basic and Standard, 4 for the Advanced.
“Datentransfer” is included traffic
“Zusätzlicher Datentransfer je GB” is additional traffic per GB
They are stressing that they are a “Kleinunternehmer” (very small company) and are therefor exempt from VAT paperwork stuff.
They offering a Rescue System for the VPS which boots a Debian 5 Minimalsystem and mounts the VPS / as /mnt/data.
This is something I know from Hetzner dedi offerings.
Anyhow, I’m not connected to Heckrath, just happen to hunt for VPSs and speak german ;)
Hrm, just checked the ordering process … they only offer automatic debit transfer (bank collection?), prepai (via wire transfer I presume) and per Invoice (post-paid).
Looks like they are not (yet?) ready for an international LEB crowd ;).
They dont support paypal? Alexa raning is lower, like a new site…
I have a VPS on heckrath.net for nearly a year and can really recommend it.
