Martin from Nixcom.ca has sent me an exclusive offer on their new Xen nodes in Baltimore MD. Two packages, and I suspect these are Canadian dollars (so less when you convert to USD).
- VPS-256-xLEB (order link)
- 256MB memory/512MB swap
- 10GB storage
- 500GB/month data transfer on 100Mbps
- $2.99/month or $7.99/quarter
- VPS-512-xLEB (order link)
- 512MB memory/1024MB swap
- 20GB storage
- 1000GB/month data transfer on 100Mbps
- $4.99/month or $12.99/quarter
You can use onyx.nixcom.ca for ping/traceroute test. The actual server is dual-core i3-540 with 8GB memory and RAID1. Low end desktop grade stuff but very good bang for the buck. It is a very good deal though which I think might be below cost. So it is a loss leader to gain market share and available in very limited amount.

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.

There you go 🙂
XEN is sold out, we are trying to find a solution ASAP. The best solution could be to buy a new node. We are dealing with our DC right now. That’s why we are offering openvz solution for some users. Sorry about that.
I have updated the post to include the OpenVZ packages.
@LowEndAdmin Thank you very much 🙂 Just an update, we offer it to our Montreal, Canada node too 🙂
Thanks Martin,
You are doing great.
I have received my VPS.
@Sidahmed your TWO VPS 😛 hehe Great review, thanks 🙂
@Martin, My TWO VPSs. (Smile).
I’m enjoying it right now, and thanks LEB, you proved to be very useful.
yep, LEB rulz 😛
Do you have stock available in Canada DC?
Can you post an IP for your Montreal DC?
And how can we order in Montreal and Baltimore?
Don’t see an option to select the DC….
@skomes ip for montreal: web.nixcom.ca
@Dirk : We host an openvz node in montreal on: web.nixcom.ca
@Martin: and how do I order it? Same link and set Montreal in the remark field?
Do you also have something in Baltimore (like the original XEN offer)?
order the 256 or 512 deal and then open a ticket to say you want it in montreal. both nodes have a lot a space left.
regards,
Martin
@ Martin
Oh, then please post a right one 😉
@Martin: order placed and ticket open….
@Martin – just order a Order 3months VPS-512-oLEB, unfortunately the subscription is not working, so please remind me a week before the next payment due.
it seems it’s not a instant-setup billing system.
Order placed. Waiting everything is setup as requested. Opened ticket for setup VPS on Montreal node.
Look like I missed the limited XEN deals
@Martin any ETA on XEN plans? I want XEN plz
Going to give them a try for a month I think. Almost didn’t after reading a post on WHT, and seeing the “personal” use of a “business” twitter account… but I’ll give them a chance I guess. At 4.99 CAD/month can it *really* be that bad?
Or not, they’ve sold out – again.
Ugh, nevermind, either I clicked the wrong order link, or they got stock in again.
No surprise here, their OpenVZ VPS seems to be out of stock as well now. Fortunately, I managed to order one. Would love to get started on it soon (as my sandbox!) – awaiting setup…
Both show out out of stock again.
Two VPS-256-xLEB in stock for Chicago node!
@Martin when is XEN coming?
@Asim Still dealing with our DC for a new node.
@Martin – This xen link http://my.nixcom.ca/cart.php?a=add&pid=43 out of stock, but this openVZ link worked http://my.nixcom.ca/cart.php?a=add&pid=45 and I’ve just placed an order. Let’s see how it is going within 3-6 months time, maybe we can work something out.
@Martin – Wow, that’s fast! Thank’s a lot.
@vRozenSch00n No problem 🙂
@Martin, where can I get more information about these two configs? Even the regular price plan page don’t have too much information:
http://nixcom.ca/vps.html
All Out of Stock
Is there any available slot for use?
They have 2 VPS’es left on there normal plans and they don’t seem to bother with adding new nodes.
Rus should probably add one more host to his portfolio lol.
@Tom Rus as in Rus Foster? if so, only a host would go to him (be merged) if they want to see bad support and lots of downtimes
Yes I do mean him and I think he’s doing a lot better then the host owners who sold out.
