- 128MB memory/256MB swap
- 12GB storage

No hint on where their servers are, although their website is with FDCServer in Denver CO. Their DNS is totally stuffed. Check this out.
$ host onenetwork.net
onenetwork.net A 76.73.18.179
$ host -t ns onenetwork.net
onenetwork.net NS localhost.localdomain
Yeah right. After you have queried their NS records you basically have stuffed your local resolver and you can’t query any of their records anymore until TTL expires. I can’t believe that it is from a 13 year old company.
From WHOIS records the domain belongs to Kolap Inc, and Wayback Machine has given us how their website has developed — even the latest copy from 2007 has nothing to do with web hosting. While both Kolap.com and OneNetwork.net have been registered for many years, that certainly does not represent how long have they been in the hosting industry.

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.
Oh man…
this page is very similar to this hosting.net.ve
hello all,

Regards,
Onenetwork.net
they didnt reply to any question…means there is no support for them…
Now on their website:
FAIL.
That’s kind of a horrible way to shut down?…
You would think that a domain that is 12 years old would be operated with some professionalism but who knows.
That’s….Yeah… Anyways :D
Imagine how much money they spent buying the domain ;)
By the way, I love the broken English — “We apoligy” plus their previous post here. Either a poorly educated teenager or a foreigner with bad English skills :)
If you can’t get the grammar right at least try to get spelling/capitalization right. Nearly every program does that for your these days, for god sakes.
previously i just planned to sign up with them but just saved
Lucky me, tried their 1 buck VPS for a month. Nice node, only get about 3 minutes downtime :)
@Mudel, not cool. Not everybody has English as their first language. Also not everybody can use a keyword as well as you can. Its one thing to point out mistakes on a site but you go beyond that.
@Hasanul do you still have the VPS? As noted up above the company is out of business. Care to clarify how you still have your system?
@drmike – Sorry, but if you’re going to sell service to English speaking customers then I expect you to at least try to use spell checker.
@drmike: No, I just use their service for a month. I cancelled my service about 3 days before they gone.
@Mudel, and that’s fine but there’s a professional way of dealing with it and a “Hi, I’m going to act like a 12 year old” method of approaching an issue.
I’d like to think we’re all professional around here.
@ drmike – I honestly don’t think it matters at this point.
When a company goes tits up without warning, runs off with former customer’s money and data, and leaves a poorly written message on their site, I believe I’m well within my rights to scrutinize their English.
Normally when I see a mistake a host’s website I kindly point out to the webmaster “hey, you should fix that” (and they’re almost always grateful for the advice), but who cares when the company has left their customers high and dry.
But if it matters to you, I apologize if I came off as a 12 year old ;)
