Roel from QuickWeb actually emailed me this a while ago and I was going to post this offer when their last offer is more than 30 days old. Well, INBOX mismanagement but it’s good that the offer is still available. This is a special March offer for the LowEndBox readers with upgrades. Use this link to order, and this is what you’ll get for $4.99/month
- 384MB guaranteed/450MB burstable memory (upgraded from 256MB/384MB)
- 10GB storage
- 250GB/month data transfer on 100Mbps (upgraded from 10Mbps)
- OpenVZ/SolusVM
Servers in Germany with Equinix. QuickWeb has pretty rock solid service, and LowEndBox.com is currently hosted on a VPS managed by QuickWeb (in Softlayer, Dallas TX). Cheap offers will get scarce though, according to Roel, as the IPv4 availability issue causing the price to go up. Small players will be purged I guess, or there will be more push towards IPv6.

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.
More XEN please :).
+1
QuickWeb always have the best services, would love to see XEN special
Thanks LEA for featuring us :)
@Hughesey, contact me i can make you some Xen deal rg(at)quickweb.co.nz
Pre paying annually will also lower down the price to $2.99/mo ($35.88/yr).
This offer is also available on our Phoenix location, just order here LOWENDBOX DEAL just add details at the comment section about this LEB promo to get the free upgrade!
Hi,
Is this offer still open? Can I order for one month to test and then pay the yearly rate? Is this upgrade available for London also? I wish to take one at all three locations.
Does this deal for Germany and Phoenix comes with IPv6? Thank you.
hello, yes when they become available hopefully in the next 3 months.
Is it possible to have bandwidth upgrade to 500GB rather than memory upgrade? Thank you.
another great deal at quickweb. i have 2 server with them 1 test box and 1 with supavps
@Quickweb-Roel
How is the bandwidth limits on quickweb handled? I was looking at the VZ2 plan and it offers 2TB of bandwidth. What percentage of this is upload/download.
Hi James, there is no percentage use any way (in/out) you like it.
Best of the best.
This is the second node i’ve order from them and the setup time was again < 3 min.
No complains so far from the first node (UK@1Gbps)
Keep the good work
Got, it, annual payment. Quick setup but no debian 6, not even in the control panel to do a reinstall.
yes debian 6.0 template is not yet production ready, we removed them due to some issues.
ok, first they don’t offer Debian 6 templates at the moment, now second issue. I setup my VPS using standard lenny image, first login and first command i run is apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
lots of errors, seems like they use an old image and i have to manually fix the sources.list
i know these are minor glitches but i expected a little more for this provider. Just hope the node where my VPS is will be stable and fast.
All you need to do is open at ticket and that will be taken cared of if you need assistance, we are on schedule to update all other templates this end of month or first week april, we do it quarterly.
Can you share the sources.list ? I have the same problem…
Thanks
@Rambaldi dotdeb packages now are signed, so before apt-get you have to
than you can vi /etc/apt/sources.list
change the /etc/apt/source.list accordingly. you can use cheatsheet from http://debgen.simplylinux.ch
then run apt-get install debian-archive-keyring and do update/upgrade after that.
I hit errors with the Debian 5 install as well. Without knowing what errors you did hit *cough* *cough* it’s kind of hard to help with them though. Chances are though you;re hitting the same GPG issues I hit.
Please give this a read though:
http://en.kioskea.net/faq/809-debian-apt-get-no-pubkey-gpg-error
There’s a thread over at LET about this as well:
http://www.lowendtalk.com/questions/4399/problems-installing-exim4
Hope this helps,
-drmike
ticket opened, and already answered. At least the support is fast. BTW, they’re not going to offer squeeze atm.
> Debian 6.0 has issues and it has been removed

IPv4 Availability at Softlayer is almost non-existent at this point. It’s pretty sad, actually. Softlayer used to hand out IPv4 addresses like candy and now those of us that need them for legitimate business purposes can’t really get them as easily. We hit IP number 7400 last week and got cut off by Softlayer as they’ve essentially run out of IP addresses themselves. Going direct with ARIN is the only way at this point, and there’s about 40 days left until ARIN is out of IP addresses.
I dislike IPv4 right about now :D
IPv6 FTW! :)
Its a shame that everyone get bugged by the IPv4 shortage but ISPs does not seem care about rolling out IPv6 to consumers.
Anyone with an ISP that provides native IPv6 on their broadband?
I personally don’t. Comcast is starting trials on IPv6 over here, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
The last time I enabled dual-stack on my Cisco router (WRVS4400N), everything decided to go haywire for my OS X and Linux machines.
I wish everyone was native IPv6 already so we could get this transition over with.
What is with american companies? I’ve gotten native v6 to home (multiple /48s with RDNS delegation+RWHOIS) since sometime in ’09 or 08
v6 has been out a very long time, and comcast hasn’t even started testing for enduserswtf
No :(
I have been nagging with my provider forever.
They don’t even have plans to deploy IPv6 for 2013 :(
BTW they first response I got from my isp was ‘What is IPv6?’ a year ago.
I’ve been tunneling since 2003.
IPv6 is a mess:
http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/ipv6mess.html
Instead of making every IPv4 address an *automatic* IPv6 address they have designed it poorly to create administrative burdens for everyone. Those who designed IPv6 were idiots who didn’t consult geniuses like DJB.
I am. My ISP support IPv6 (I don’t know if it native or not, how do I check?).
I am with: http://www.blixtvik.se
I found through this site http://test-ipv6.com/ that my ISP support IPv6 but it is not native..
Microsoft pays $7.5m for IPv4 address stash – 666,624 IP address for $7.5 million, or $11.25 per address.

I am really looking forward to World IPv6 Day
“On 8 June, 2011, Google, Facebook, Yahoo!, Akamai and Limelight Networks will be amongst some of the major organisations that will offer their content over IPv6 for a 24-hour “test flight”.”
Read more here and see how we/you all can take part: http://isoc.org/wp/worldipv6day/
Yes I am hoping to have some of my sites ready for the World IPv6 day. My Xen VPS with QuickWeb in Softlayer still has IPv6 borked (traffic does not flow when it go to the host box).
They will have it for 24h???? Why from that day on….shows that they aren’t realy ready for ipv6 :-(
and this is a speed test for they Dusseldorf node
You can’t go wrong with Quickweb.
My XEN in Germany has been rock solid.
Been with them for 5 months now.
Current uptime 77 days.
No love for the states?
See Roel’s comment here on their OpenVZ offer in Phoenix.
Fast setup with QuickWeb SUPA 2. ~5 minutes. I will comment any problems and tests.
+1 for the Quickweb folks. :)
we have updated the debian 5.0 templates and about to roll it out on all OpenVZ nodes, this addressed the issue with the repos :)
Thanks! Also, to anybody else… I highly recommend Quickweb VZ2 package if you’re planning on getting a OpenVZ VPS.
This is better deal then fanaticalvps (germany) offer if you pay annually.
Hello,
You mention 384MB guaranteed/450MB burstable memory but clicking on the offer’s link I get the following product:
SUPA VPS PLANS – QW Budget Box VZ II (DE)
SolusVM/Linux 1 x Core Xeon 3440 (shared), 256MB RAM 384MB Burst, 10GB, 250GB Bandwidth, 10Mbit Port – 1 x IP address
Which one is correct?
That is our standard ordering page, this is just special offer to LEB reader so you must open a ticket to get the upgrade or make a comment in order page.
Roel, could you take a look at my question below please, i think you may have missed it because you normally have good response times :)
I am just waiting for those to be answered before i order :)
Do you guys offer space/bandwidth upgrades? If so then how much would it be to add more space and how much for bandwidth?
Also, what about memory addons without upgrading?
hello, we do not discuss upgrade prices in public as it varies please open a sales ticket thanks.
i know this is not the right place to post, but since my account at quickweb was deleted i can’t open a new ticket without opening one more account
with reference to ticket no. 942668 i was given a VPS for one month cause my previous vps didnt work properly. i was told that my account would be valid for one month from the date the new VPS started, but within 15 days my VPS was shut, my account was deleted without informing me. i was out of town for a vacation and when i came back i got this surprise. all my sites were down for 5 days and i lost all my loyal visitors cause of their mistake.
this is the second change with quickweb and they failed.
kindly return my money back
Greetings,
This is unfortunate to hear, I will look into it, you must have received invoice and once it was left overdue for certain number of days it will automatically be removed by the system.
Roel
Hello,
I had a look and saw the system generated invoice with due date March 2, you originally subscribed suscribed 30/1/2011, so it’s got the whole february running and the system automatically removed on the 5th or 6th after several overdue notices and suspension notices.
You should’ve contacted us immediately because we got automated system, please email me directly rg(at)quickweb.co.nz
Roel
right… but i was allotted a new VPS on 22nd feb for one month so i ignored the invoice….
i am contacting now as i was not in town…..
its not my mistake…. when u allotted me a new VPS for one month u should make sure u update the billing department also…
Yes simple email from you will allow us to remove invoice generated we should have corrected it for you.
i refund u to refund the money as i have not used the VPS and i have bought another VPS
i request u to refund the money as i have not used the VPS and i have bought another VPS
I have 7 VPS with these guys. All working great and support response was very impressive.
Ive been experimenting with 5 other hosting but Quickweb would still be my favorite. :D
thanks!
Would it be possible to know a test IP in germany & london (supa)?
BTW, what’s the difference between your “SUPA” VPSes and the other ones?
Thanks :)
this offer is extended till 15 of April or while stocks last thanks.
Is the port 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps?
Here’s its 100 but on orderpage it’s 10.
Or should i just contact you as this is special offer for LEB?
we will upgrade to 100Mbit for all orders coming from this site, just put on comment section.
For those in their San Jose datacenter, they’re going to have some power issues in a day or so:
http://secure.quickweb.co.nz/system/announcements.php?id=24
And they’re having another sale:
http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1038278
I;m falling asleep so I can barely read all that.
Thanks Mike, it is hard to say goodbye to our nodes average uptime at San Jose, but nothing we can do as it is facility’s power maintenance.
#uptime
15:20:19 up 174 days, 17:58, 1 user, load average: 0.25, 0.20, 0.12
I see this link still works and you can actually choose 35.88/year option in cart. Is the free 100Mbit port still good too if we put that in comment during order?
I have one of this boxes, but it’s not working at all.
Their helpdesk tried several times to rebuild it, with no luck.
I have 2 more boxes with them with no problem, but the way they are handling this issue is unbelievable.
If they give me permission, I will post ticket information so you can see the way they answer.
On this box I can’t even install apache, and the only way to rebuild the vps is opening a ticket ’cause from solus simply won’t work
Just 2 more words : Epic Fail!!!!!
Is that the new one? This case could happen with all providers. I think they will be able to fix it.
Well, it’s working now!! After bad words I can now give credit to the admin who understood the issue.
They had a template issue on “my” node that finally got solved.
Angry Customer turning back to Satisfied ;)
Even I had to bump up a ticket to admin once a while back.
