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.
Shudders. Just another Burst reseller :-)
Looks like they’ve been in business for 9 years, can’t be all bad..
Hostfolks has been around since about 2001 when I first hosted with them. The domain was only RENEWED 3 months ago. Why not be accurate and check your facts when you do a ‘review’?
Personally I have found them to be an excellent hoster (5 sites) and I have also recently bought a VPS from them. Excellent service and fast connection.
I stand corrected. Must have been blind when I try to read the numbers from `whois` :) Well. Glad that you have enjoyed your BurstNet-resold VPS.
Burstnet reseller?
Plus, I don’t see the burstable RAM info?
I’ve paid for economy VPS package… but cannot access the VPS control panel, I’ve sent the support ticket one hour ago, but still no response… Helpp… !!!
I got my VPS and I am pretty happy with it.
They got the hostname wrong once, but I filed a ticket for it and it got fixed.
(Five minutes after that I noticed I could have done it too…)
Quite satisfied with them so far. Truly excellent for the price you pay
As far as I am concerned they are excellent value and have good support. I am very happy with my hosting :-)
I also used a promo code so I have 20% of every month. I don’t know if it’s still valid but here it is:
