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.
Seems to be OOS.
Is thats not true that SingleHop offer 2/3 months free with their dedicated server? Is nixcom implement this idea?
Anyway, more important thing is – Those are outofstock…! Thanks.
@Amaresh OOS? xD
Im with Nixcom from less than 24 hours and all I can say is that the network speed is very very good!
I hope they will add some new OS template like CentOS/Debian 32/64bit minimal (no apache, sendmail etc…) a must-have :)
@Amaresh OOS = Out of stock I think, is that correct? Sorry :D
It’s out of stock because owner is overselling hes one node from previous offers, not so hard to figure it out.

The node has been down for about 2 hours to be more specific on “several hours”.
What seems to be the problem, bro?
Today it got once again
Some abuse on the node. Clients has been suspended. It was taking 99% of cpu usage of entire node non-stop. Now issue seems to be fix. The node isn’t loading anymore. Plenty of good resources for all users :)
Nine months later, my Nixcom VPS from this offer is going strong. Performance is consistently good and uptime is excellent.
