Simon from Scotland based miniVPS emailed me that their 10 pound/year France VPS is back in stock again. Moreover, just like every other shopping ads you see on TV, “these prices won’t be seen again”. So there you go, £10/year (~USD$15.60) using this sign up link, and you get
- 128MB guaranteed/256MB burstable memory
- 15GB storage
- 500GB/month data transfer
- OpenVZ/SolusVM
Payment in PayPal only. Servers in France with OVH (test IP: 46.105.114.184). MiniVPS is part of Xavvo Ltd which is registered in Scotland in the middle of this year. They have been running this offer on WHT pretty much since October, and according to Simon it has been extended to 1st of January. Looking at their WHT offer threads they did offer pretty fast response time and got some nice feedbacks. Good sign that they’ll last more than 12 months?

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.
This vps provider looks serious to provide service in long term. I like the TOS/AUP that allow all client to run any programs as long as not complained by somebody. The only one disadvantage that I as a minivps client not satisfy is about cpu throttling. If I want to install any program that will use high cpu for a few minutes, this server ‘kick’ the program. I really hope cpu throttle will be disabled.
IRC supported ! yeay !
Now out of stock, oh well!
I have one of these. Great uptime and support when I used it was very efficient. There was a mystery rebot but the node was only down for 5mins. I ran the LEB script and posted the output on LET

Really happy with the money I spent.
IS this a recurring price?
Do you offer native ipv6 addresses with it?
ipv6 address is ipv6 address, it cannot be native or non-native :) The ipv6 transit on the other hand can be native or tunneled.
I’ll re-phrase, “do you offer ipv6 addresses and are they part of native transit or tunnel transit?”
The price is the same, no matter how long you have the account for.
We don’t at this time offer IPV6, however we are looking into offering it in the new year.
BTW “out of stock” after a little more then 5 hours on LEB :-(
There is now more stock available for anyone wishing to signup.
Debian is not available in the sign up link.
Can it be installed afer buying a vps?
Hello
Yes, your able to install debian after signup is complete.
Quite happy with a 256MB VPS from MiniVPS for the last 3 months; no downtime except for 15 min scheduled downtime that was announced with a few days notice. Just ordered myself a 128MB to play with…
This is the fastest VPS I tested from my location (Netherlands), which is also reflected in the test from Zigga up there. Good bang for the buck!
How do you do Sir
i need to know :
if you allow warez linking forums or nulled scripts, rapidleech, torrent and video scripts?
and if you received DMCA report do you give a time limit to remove it ?
and if the time limit ended do you just suspend and no negotiations for backups or what ?
sorry long ask but necessary
Best Regards
Hi Shreef,
As long as you remain inside our TOS and AUP there shouldn’t be a problem however things such as nulled scripts and warez wouldn’t be permitted. We provide 24 hour windows for all DMCA notices received. If you need further information, just drop us an email or a ticket in the helpdesk.
I’m a yearly plan user, my box got restarted two times since ordered and no other downtime, glad to see if they can keep on it :)
ps I’m from Russia
Your results are better than mine!
can i run trixbox, will u allow me to upload image of it or however it is done?
benchmark: http://dumpz.org/110476/

Please make sure…

Accdording to your previous comments, it’s using vswap, 128MB, then is ‘ok’ to the specifications.
Look like Vswap, not burstable memory to me

Just added a few more to stock. The response was overwhelming again so once these are gone, that’s it!
Have you add new stock or I’m just too late to catch this offer?
Just adding new stock today. This offer will be expiring at the end of the month though!!
Don’t tell Martin, but we had a couple of people cancel due to them thinking the nodes were UK based, these are based in france and we have 5 in stock ;)

We’re adding new stock today however this particular offer will finish up at the end of the year so grab what you can while it’s still around!
Is it sure in France? Because is already get one from you and the IP is “registered” in UK and so the geo location would be UK and not FR ;)
Hello
Yes the servers are physically located in France.
