Via this WHT deal, QuillHost is offering the following VPS for $5/month.
- 64MB guaranteed memory
- 5GB storage
- 50GB/month data transfer
- CentOS/Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora Core/Gentoo
As the control panel provided is HyperVM, I am assuming the virtualization technology used here is OpenVZ. You can also apply some coupon code (see linked WHT page) to get double RAM + space or 20% off lifetime (bringing it down to $4/month). IP of the main web site is at Colo 4 Jax in Jacksonville, FL, and I assume the hosted VPS will also be there as well.
Alright. Now it’s the nitpicking time — why you might not want to consider this host:
- There’s no website other than a copy of Client Exec that let you order VPS packages.
- According to WHOIS, the domain was created on 2 Oct 2008 — less than a month old.
- Contact information in WHOIS is privacy-masked. Most dodgy operations have their contact information masked as well.
- From the interaction between the owner and customers on that WHT post, I doubt the owner knows exactly what he is doing.
Good luck if you decided to go with this host! 🙂

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 went with this host due to the vps being 4$
with coupon. So at the most I will lose 4 bucks
if they disapear.
the vps was setup in about 12hrs and it is hosted on a quad core server at Limestone Networks (in Dallas Texas)
seems to be fast and stable but Im not doing anything with it yet.
I bought through this deal. I’m satisfied until now. VPS seems to be stable, and I’m on a harpertown 5420.
Looks like a good deal. 😀
The vps is decent, the only downside being that the 5$ vps plan (4$ with coupon) is limited to 100mhz on each
of the four cores.
my 5$ superbytes vps outperforms it by quite a bit as it is not limited in this way.
Nice long outage tonight (still down now) I wonder if its gone?
It came back up last night some time. looks like
just the network dropped out.
I guess it wasnt that long.
I’ve bought the smallest plan. Its strange, I have 150 MHz from each core. So, I have a total of 600 MHz CPU, and 128 MB RAM (They offered me double RAM)
This sale is great. Just a new company, so there isn’t lot to say.
and I don’t think its a scam, as they’re advertising it through our ISP.
YES they are.
i bought one package from them.
as usual, i need to install my firewall scripts which is need a specific kernel module to loaded.
the kernel got loaded after 1 MONTH.
their support is REALLY SLOW.
