Ernie from Hudson Valley Host emailed me their new discount for Valentine’s Day. Yes it is nothing better than buying him or her a new virtual private server, and even better when it’s 50% off recurring when you use the promo code valentine50. You can get “Starter” package for $4.50/month (direct order link).
- 256MB guaranteed/512MB burstable memory
- 10GB storage
- 500GB/month data transfer
- OpenVZ/SolusVM
Servers are all in New York as per their previous offer. Yup — previous offer was only 25% off but apparently even cheaper than this deal. You do get more monthly data though. From their About Us page they have been established since summer 2003.

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.

I am one of the reseller :D
And their support is great
Just signed up with them, but first impression is good.
they say no game servers in their TOS, beware
I have a server with them, 59 days uptime so far. Happy :)
I asked for a refund, and will not buy. The IP I needed was in NY, yet they gave me an ip in beverly hills, california. Then I received this (I paid with PayPal):
Dear Customer,
Thank you for your recent purchase. We appreciate your business. While reviewing your order we noticed our fraud detection system has marked your order as a high fraud score.
Due to the fraud score being so high we need to verify your account. Please email us a scanned copy of the credit card or photo id that is associated with the credit card or paypal account. You may blackout the digits of the CC except for the last 4 numbers. Once received we will destroy the email.
Or we can voice verify the order. Just give us a time to call.
We do this to protect the customers and our selves against the high costs of fraud. Please reply asap with this information to avoid service interruption.
Thank You,
Ernie
Hudson Valley Host
Dont send this info, it could be used to commit fraud
The reason we requested this information was due to an extremely high fraud score from our fraud detection system.
We do not have any servers on the west coast so you getting an IP from Cali is impossible.
Also if you look at the email we also offered to voice verify the order instead of sending a copy of your photo id.
We also refunded your money promptly as requested.
