Via this WHT offer. HostLatch‘s current promotion — getting 25% off with promo code vpsdiscount25. Their “Beginner” package is then $4.46/month with the following spec
- 386MB guaranteed/512MB burstable memory
- 30GB storage
- 500GB/month data transfer
- OpenVZ/SolusVM
Servers are in Dallas TX with Databank. HostLatch has been featured here at LowEndBox for quite a while and I currently have one VPS with them in Orland. Service was stable when it’s up, and I have recently upgraded my VM to Ubuntu 10.04 which is cool. However I also have a few days of downtime with them due to issues with SolusVM — I think I’ll be hesitated to put any important public-facing service on it. YMMV :)

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.
Low End Admin,
Please do email me with your ticket ID(s) so I can address your issue to see what’s up. Thanks.

It has already been resolved (a few months ago I think). I am having issues with SolusVM with multiple providers (not just HostLatch) so it could be the culprit.
I have more that 5 Vps at hostlatch..I still Happy using them…I hope hostlacth Have XEN VPS…and Have Much Bandwidth…Adam is fast respon..
I Recommend to using Hostlacth…don’t Buy at Virpus.com…just using Hostlatch..
I don’t recommend hostlatch if your site needs to be up 24/7. For the price, they’re quite OKish. My VPS and reseller account up-time was below 98% that’s why I moved from them.
I have been using their Beginner VPS for 3 mo. Uptime has been good and support tickets answered in 10 minutes for me
I hope they will keep up the service.
they are under a new management called “gigevps”

Dear Nicolas,
My name is Stephen, a representative emailing you from GigeVPS.net. We are proud to announce that we are acquiring HostLatch for the better, Hostlatch is now under new management. With the new management you will notice quicker, friendlier, and overall better support. With us taking over Hostlatch we are transferring your VPS to our nodes. All servers are now being migrated to new servers on 1Gbps switchports – this does mean that your new VPS can burst to speeds up to 1000 megabits per second!
We understand that this is a huge inconvenience, however please note that we are doing this for the better.
To sum it up, your advantages will be:
• Friendlier and faster support
• 1Gbps uplinks
• Better performance on servers
You will get your VPS IPs changed, and we will start the migration as soon as possible, you will be sent an email once migration on your node is finished, with your new VPS IPs.
Some nodes have already started, and you should have received an email titled “Your new VPS IP.” If you are on the “alpha” or “bravo” node you will not be affected by this move. To find out what node you are on please login http://manage.gigevps.net:5353/login.php and then under “node” it displays what server you are on. Your login information has and will remain the same. If you have any questions please open a ticket under “Management.” The new client area is available at http://my.gigevps.net/ – your login information has remained the same.
Have a pleasant week ahead!
Regards,
Stephen Arshad

Hmm. GigeVPS.com was only registered a week ago. Nothing on its twitter feed. A Dallas based company with servers in Orlando — sounds more like a rebranding (and change of ownership) than a merger with existing hosting provider. Not sure why they even bothered to change servers and reallocate IP addresses, since they could just inherit HostLatch’s boxes.
HostLatch has done “pretty well” for setting up the business for 15 months and growing it to a point to sell it. Well done Adam for his “business sense”, but may not be so with us customers.
same prices, less space (10G less), less bandwidth (300GB less) and the don’t talk about burstable memory.
there are much better offers available with other vps service providers
GigeVPS ~= GrandiosHost? They share nameservers, datacenter, and their WHT rep (Jacob Wall).
I think so InsDel.
I get another..

Hello Nicolas,
We would like to update y’all and add to yesterdays email. Lots of customers came to us wondering if prices were going to change at all, we would like to address this – they will not be changing. Once again the pricing for your VPS’s will not change, they are locked in for life of your VPS! If you have any questions please open up a ticket under management or reply to this email.
Have a pleasant week ahead!
Regards,
Jacob Wall

Got an email from Adam to clarify the sale. Plus the last email from Jacob and this post on WHT,
I have had five serious outages (> 40 min, and another … 6 hours) this last month, I will not renew my account.
Dear Sir/Madam:
I am looking for an unmanaged VPS account. I have minimum requirements (basic setup – 128mg Ram, 100gb Bandwidth), but do require the following:
Unmanaged Linux VPS with root access
Ubuntu as the operating system
Additional IP Addresses
Data Center preferably located in Texas
I would greatly appreciate any help that you can give me, such as, pricing for the basic setup (monthly and yearly) and the cost for additional IP Addresses – 3 IP Addresses to start with, maybe 12 total in the future. A referral would also be appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Richard Reyes
