Peter at Magoro emailed me their exclusive offer for the LowEndBox readers. You can get their Xen256 package for $60/Year ($5/month) using promo code LEB-1YBSAO through this ordering link.
- 256MB memory
- 15GB storage
- 110GB/month data transfer
- Xen/SolusVM
Servers are in Troy MI. They are using Xeon E5620 boxes and RAID10 drives, and each Xen node gets access to 4 cores. Not much response from my last post about them so I guess there’s no much interest in there. Domain has been registered since June 2009, and they actually have redundant NS in 2 locations. LLC registered in MI.

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.
kinda funny their IP range is swipd to “CustName: Mangoro”, might want to get that looked at
Just a /27 registered to them? Sorry did not catch what’s interesting about the IP range.
I assume it’s that the registration is “Mangoro” with-an-n, rather than “Magoro”.
Mangoro != Magoro ;)
Probably just a minor mistake on the part of the provider they use – not hard to update it, but they should or else ARIN will have a hissy.
is this real!!
Interesting how they’re running Joomla but yet remove the credit link for it. *shrug* I know there’s no rule about doing so but interesting that they just credit it out instead of removing it from the code.
There a few good reasons to do that actually.
1.) Some businesses think that associating themselves with free software will make them look cheap/bad, and frankly I know of people who think that businesses who use open source won’t last long. At least open source is being used (rather than being ditched), so I say that isn’t a bad thing.
2.) Joomla has been a target of exploits, and many hackers google the copyright footer to find Joomla installations to exploit. Commenting it out will stop search engines from turning up your Joomla installation when these script kiddies try stuff like this.
And finally, it’s not very “interesting” either.

I took a look at the first three sites on the list; none of them left the Joomla footer there.
This is a post about… nothing, really.
And there are many reasons why not to do that but I think you may have misunderstood the issue that I was raising.
Matter of opinion actually. While what you list makes sense and I do understand your points, it still doesn’t make it right. Again, it’s interesting that they commented out the link instead of removing it completely. You may want to review what I wrote as it appears you may have misunderstood the issue I was raising. And I’m familiar with the method of google’ing to find the footer sig. There are ways around that.
I raised an issue that I saw just like you did previously on other posts. I’m sorry that you misunderstood what I was writing about.
This looks interesting actually, has anyone seen reviews of this place before? Maybe a test IP? Its definitely in a good location for my needs.
i wonder why they have a windows “Logo” on the homepage but dont offer windows as OS on the vps
maybe the windows logo for their next offer.
I can’t post, maybe LEA banned me xD Some posts doesn’t work
What do you think about this

Pretty sure I haven’t banned you :) $5.5/month would be the same as their last offer? Cheap for HVM though (if it is indeed Xen HVM there).
