Adam from NordicVPS has sent me a very nice exclusive offer for LowEndBox readers. For $15/year you can get the following VPS (OVZ128-LEB order link):
- 128MB guaranteed/256MB burstable memory
- 15GB storage
- 600GB/month data transfer
- OpenVZ/SolusVM
For $35/year it upgrades you to OVZ256-LEB (order link) with 256MB/512MB memory, 30GB storage and 1000GB/month data transfer.
No prize for guessing where they copied their plans from. I guess not much competition at this point as BuyVM has already sold out all the stock. BuyVM servers are also located in Fremont (good for Asia), but NordicVPS has its servers in Germany with Hetzner.
Now on annual plans — I understand that it makes sense for the providers. PayPal and credit card merchant accounts take a big chunk out for processing fee, and having fund available up front also helps to build and extend the business. Just that after the RackVM incident — make sure you do your due diligence and backup often 🙂

One Step at a Time: Interview with M'barek Dhibi, CEO and Founder of Pawnhoster, Plus a Deal for You...
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.
cannot find a valid baseurl for repos: addons
temp. failure in name resolution.
Do you mind if I take a look into this?
My email address is asim [at] techbytes d0t pk
sure, you can, I will email you soon.
annoying thing is that Nordic doesn’t do anything or know what to do.
No email, no support, nothing.
@ Asim message sent
No it was not me, it was nordic, they said they fixed it. so we will see.
Check now.
The problem was that yum instance was running and idle. I just killed it. Now it works fine
thanks asim,but Nordic sent me a ticket that they fixed it.
ha ha, so funny..
Ok, thanks nice.
I dont know about you but for me, they always replied timely. I am still their customer.
probably they don’t like me.
@asim, I sent email.
@john It was an error in the template, we created the missing file (/etc/resolv.conf) and problem solved.
We do our best to help everyone out as fast as possible. Thanks.

If this had IPV6 I would be all over it. Please consider
trying to add IPV6. Hetzner offers native ipv6 on request and
it should be fairly easy to add to the nodes.
@Joe Merit: I already asked about this several hours ago, but for some reason NordicVPS didn’t answer …
@dirk — maybe they are busy connecting their terabit ethernet 1000000BASE-T cables to all their servers 🙂
Don’t you have to list your CVR nr. /P nr. on your website under Danish Law.
I’m a happy customer of them for several months.
I hope this super cheap plan is not a bad sign about their business.
@Gary, innya Typo has been corrected now. Thanks.
@joe, dirk IPv6 is available, but we do not offer this at this moment – we want IPv6 to be fully supported in SolusVM.
@budi We have 3 servers listed to support this offer and are not going out off business.
We are expanding in San Jose with our own hardware 🙂 We will continue expand into US, Texas and New York are next on the list.
@nordicvps
how about Furu’s question? (#58)
Looks good for me, nice price pretty good performance. Centos 32bit yum -y update did fine.
@NordicVPS: why? it’s possible even if you use SolusVM (that doesn’t support ipv6) to have VPSes with ipv6
@budi furu is anonymous, and She/He seems to know about the CVR system so the question was ignored.
We are reg. company in Denmark and we display our company address and phone numbers and we provide this gracious offer to the LowEndBox community as special gesture.
We see plenty of VPS providers on LEB and WHT who does not even display proper contact information but this does not seem stop people from purchasing VPS’s or question their offers/service.
Please send an email to info [@] nordicvps.com if you have any questions, we do not want turn LEB into a support forum.
Thanks
@dirk For us its a management question. We do not want assign IPs/subnets manually and keep touch of these on cancellation of service and in case of SPAM/abuse cases.
If you need IPv6, please select another provider. Thanks
We will announce on twitter once we support IPv6 on our servers.
too bad no LibertyReserve or WebMoney.
very nice offer indeed.
Just got one,activated in 4 minutes.
I’m in the United Kingdom and the cost was £10,not $15 with Paypal and over $15 in the USD balance.
Are you going to make Gentoo available?
I contacted Virk (Company Registration office) in Denmark and you must list CVR nr. on your website.
You also should mention your prices on the website are inkl/exkl moms (VAT) or not (EU Law)
They provided me with your CVR number 32181635 and a link where you could be found http://www.cvr.dk/Site/Forms/PublicService/DisplayCompany.aspx?cvrnr=32181635
Address is same as your website but your website does not complies with Danish Law unless you want to remain “Anonymous”.
@Furu Are you are current customer with us ? Its interesting that you are taking time to contact Virk and displaying information and claim we are anonymous while you stay anonymous 🙂
I think the law only requires you to display CVR no. if you are an ApS or A/S – again plenty of business who does not even display their contact information other than a contact form – we provide our address and phone no.
I think we can stop the discussion about CVR now.
Our price is excl. VAT. as we do not charge VAT. Again not all (EU) VPS providers display if the price is incl VAT or not.
“…We are reg. company…” from NordicVPS
Are there any reason that you are using abbreviations instead of “registered company”
Damn, just ordered.
Am I screwed now? xD
Ignore this troll Nord, most likely a kid from firstnetserv, he was crying about private whois here http://www.lowendbox.com/blog/availablevps-5-256mb-openvz-vps-in-germany/, so guess he got bored and decided to screw around with another host.
@Nordic VPS
Under EU Tax law you must charge Moms (VAT) from every customer who has an address withing EU.
If you do not believe me please feel free to contact Skatt (Tax Office) http://www.skat.dk/
I want to be a customer so I want to make sure you are who you claim you are and apparently I am in Scandinavia.
My posts are not to harm you in any manner but to make sure that you are a legitimate business and are operating under the law.
I would not bother with this if you were outside of EU.
@Furu is a little heavy man, but I think that if he does buy a vps, he can ask Nordic for a ticket including vat. And also, I guess that Nordic can sell him a vps, or not.
I have just bought 2 vps, and I got them in less than 1 minute!!!
I hope both vps work well…
Furu, You’re incorrect regarding VAT. A business can only charge VAT if it is VAT registered, and registration is only compulsory if you meet certain business criteria (e.g in the UK if annual turnover exceeds ). If a business is exempt or not VAT registered, it is illegal to charge VAT. So you can only have it one way or the other within the EU.
would you fix your template please?
none of them works.
@MikeD
No minimum thresholds in Scandinavia.
All business providing service must be registered for VAT.
who cares about Scandinavia?
Just fix the template please?
I’ve ordered one and have no problems with it, works perfect. Maybe some godaddy hosting or other shared host with nice colorful buttons on cpanel may be better for their pocket money, if vps is too difficult.
