IPAP.co emailed me their virtual dedicated server offers a while ago. Decent packages on either Citrix XenServer or VMWare ESXi platform, and the price starts at $6.95/month for their “VDS Eco” plan.
- 512MB memory
- 50GB storage
- 50GB FTP backup storage
- 4TB/month data transfer on 100Mbps
- Citrix XenServer or VMWare ESXi (with Premium Plus license)
Servers are with VolumeDrive in Scranton according to their datacenter page, which I think will go through BurstNet for connectivity. While their About page is still empty (and the rest of the site far from “organised”), from their previous offer page they are UAE/Turkey based. At lease vRozenSch00n has good reviews on their service. Their WHT account is still disabled. Although they claimed that “it has been described on our website” (I guess this not-very-informative blog post), “other people’s jealousy” has been blamed — I still don’t find that convincing. They have indeed fixed quite a bit of issues on their website. It is also now hiding behind CloudFlare. We’ll see.

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.

Short review of their service:
Service availability: usually not available (VPS and VDS)
Service delivery: I had to wait about two weeks after making payment and after two notifications they finally deliver my service.
Client panel: some standard panel seen on many hostings
Uptime: On first month my VPS was blocked by provider for about 24 hour because of some abuses which was not my fault. So uptime was about 97% (offer: 99.9%).
Support: It’s awful, few things:
– long time waiting for answer (sometimes more than two days, usually about few hours)
– support is treating client like cash mashine: give money and shut up. support claims that I’m guilty for my VPS unavailability without any serious reason
– support language skills… Without any comment – see posts from ipap.co team. I couldn’t understand what they mean.
– money back after downtime? Forget about it.
Server:
– Very good server, processor clock, network etc. all as in offer. Here I’m fully satisfied.
Summary: not on my nerves. There are some server providers who offers nearly the same prices, but support, service delivery, availability is much better than that.
Is your VDS also down right now??
Where is their support, do not answer emails.
Return IPAP please we need you
After it was down for 3 days and no support reply (they were closing my support threads without any answer) I resigned from their services.
Funny thing is that they gave me 2$ because my servers weren’t working for 2 days. It is very sick company and I recommend you to leave it. I found better VPS’ses with better customer service.
This is totally bullshit hosting company. Don’t ever try to register at this company. They have a new website http://LydiaNET. com and I’m sure its totally sucks. They have taken my money and shutdown my server and they accused me that I use my VPS on port scanning. The truth is I never use my VPS because it was down for 1 week and they never pay me back. I file a case on paypal and they offer a better one. So I decided to cancel the case on my paypal. But after that they bullshit me. This company is a waste of time and money. GO TO HELL…
Where is their support, do not answer emails, do not return the money…
support is very slow and ver hard to contact. I submit ticket 2 time if no respon.

Another one mask the dust… ¬¬ I am about to insult you…
ipap.co no longer respond to emails do not respond the tickets already opened a call against them in paypal but so far I do not think I answered owners died or they failed
I’m disappointed with them
Really, now bought a more dedicated to not have a headache
WHERE IS YOUR SUPPORT??
I am waiting for my vds and i got no reply.! what are you doing ipap.? its a time! check my tickets immediately.
Friends ipap.co no longer respond to emails do not respond the tickets already opened a call against them in paypal but so far I do not think I answered owners died or they failed
This is just like HostRail.
HostRail vanished by shutting down their server, IPAP went but they forget to shutdown their server trying to see if they get some money…!
NOT SO FAST IPAP, PAYPAL DISPUTE IS THERE.
I’m just posting to reaffirm what everyone else is saying. iPAP/Lydianet is not responding anymore to tickets, and the node of my VDS has been down for a while. I wonder if anyone’s tried calling them? Everything was going pretty well for me with them until this month. I really wonder what happened.
Yes I tried calling the number that is on their website and is falling in the mailbox
I am very sad because everything was going really well they estavão answering emails in 2 hours as a maximum will send an email saying, I just wanted a response from the administrator of the IPAP will close even if they
Well, actually here in Brazil I was selling very cheap vps and was selling a lot so now where I’m going to buy?
I am very sad about it
Cheap isn’t good, do your math. Period.
I dont agree. You can find good providers that are cheap. I think thats the whole point of LEB 🙂
I also think
Never had anything to complain about IPAP’s only now that I left, I am really sad because here in Brazil was selling many vps and great prices
Return IPAP please we need you
Do you helped us with their professionalism and prices please come back.
How are they supposed to run with your money if you keep begging for them to come back?
Seriously, this is one of the problems of hunting for cheap offers. LEA and the other good people here on LEB are doing a great job informing us of the risks by pointing out the factors like price discrepancies and service flaws from providers. But if we fail to heed the warning signs then we should also be prepared to go to great lengths to get ourselves out of the hole we put ourselves in.
I think LEB actually evolved into a community of like minded misers, who help each other get the best deal out of the swarm of LEB providers making an offer here everyday.
Yes, already paid for them, so peopl they return my money or return
Anyone know of another company with the same cheap vps ipap.co?
Sure, they’re all in the deadpool being bro’s with ipapco 🙂
Francisco
They could come back to answer our emails and delivery to our vps, but I think this will happen not because the license expired whmcs them, and so far they have not renewed, I think they failed
look
