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.

I use qucikweb for my website host, I have a texas datacenter vps, $5 a month. The support is GREAT the longest I’ve had to wait for a ticket to get answered was 1 hour, 95% of the time it’s answered within 30 minutes! 3.75$ per month for german xen vps like this is good
I believe you mean “sweeter,” unless you plan to insulate the VPS :)
@Chuck… hahaha finally someone spot it :)
Did he win a price? :)
yes if he’s a customer i’ll double his RAM :)
Unfortunately I’m not, though I have looked at grabbing a VPS in Germany sometime. Just don’t have the money currently to spend on another VPS :)
I see, no worries mate the offer still stand if you decide to grab one yourself in the future :)
Sounds good. I’ll reference this post if/when the time comes.
I have 4 VPS’s across 3 providers. I run number-crunching on them (I know, it is not massively fast, but is cheaper than the electricity the new PC would use if I bought one).
The processing speed is nearly identical across all.
One of the other providers seems to reboot on a Sunday, The other had a reboot about a month ago.
Quickweb has been up and operational for over 90 days – and was the cheapest. I think mine is in the US.
i have a san jose VPS with them that i have been using as a web/vpn server that is currently sitting at just over 91 days uptime since i last reset it.
I put lowendbox in the comment but didn’t get the “sweeter” deal.:(
this is quite an old promo.
