Shaun from NetOrigin notified me their latest special, which has more detail on this WHT offer post. Coupon code 25discount gives you 25% off recurring discount on their Los Angeles OpenVZ VPS plans. “VPSOne” would be AUD$5.96/month (~USD$6.31) after the discount. Direct link for signing up, and here is the VPS you are going to get
- 256MB guaranteed/512MB burstable memory
- 50GB storage
- 200GB/month data transfer
- 4 vCPU
- OpenVZ/SolusVM
PayPal, Moneybookers or direct transfer for AU banks. Servers in Los Angeles but NetOrigin is based in Perth, Australia. According to their contact page they provide 24/7 email support and phone support during Australian business hours. They have been around since 2010, with Shaun as the “sole trader”. Not registered for “GST” according to ABN lookup so could be a small operation, which seems to be inconsistent with Shaun’s claim here.
They have a long list of AUP so make sure you agree with them before you sign up.

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.
It’s always nice to see local (on the continental level :P) providers here, now, if only we could get this sort of deal in Australia :\
Does anyone check if AUD$5.96 ~ USD$6.31, I do not think 911 makes that much change.
Reading the AUP and right off the bat, I don’t like the “cooperate with … injured third parties” clause. The file trading “situation” is a prime example of why this is a bad idea. We have law firms who, due to their claiming that they’re the copyright holder on some media, are pressing payment requests when they think they catch some bit torrent users downloading their media. (That’s the first link that i can find right off that sort of explains the situation. I hope it’s understandable.) I’m not saying that these folks would allow bit torrent (assuming that they’re not since LEA says they have a lengthy AUP.) this is a perfect example of where their AUP may allow them to bypass legal and accepted procedures.
Especially since the term “civil wrongdoing” is in there as well.
Or another example. Say LEB was hosted there and I don’t like someone’s comment here. Per their AUP, I could get that person’s email and IP addresses directly from them.
I’m not reading any further. Their AUP is unacceptable.
Hi drmike,
I think there is a misconception about the AUP.
“Or another example. Say LEB was hosted there and I don’t like someone’s comment here. Per their AUP, I could get that person’s email and IP addresses directly from them.”
In such situation, we would not disclose such information without a court order. We will never bypass legal procedures.
Regards,
Louis
