Ben from RackVM sent me another awesome offer for the LowEndBox readers yesterday. Similar to their previous offer but requires yearly pre-payment. For £20/Year (~USD$31.28, or ~USD$2.68/Month) you can buy the following OpenVZ VPS package using this ordering link and promo code LEB-YEARLY2.
- 512MB guaranteed/1024MB burstable memory
- 30GB storage
- 300GB/month data transfer
- OpenVZ/SolusVM
That’s right — 512MB OpenVZ VPS for less than 3 bucks a month, if you are looking for a VPS in France. Do read our previous threads on RackVM. There are mixed-but-mostly-good reviews on this company.

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.
erm, as this offer is in France, you might want to change the title accordingly.
Argh. Thanks for noticing. Fixed it now.
Seem like this is not a recurring offer. But it’s worth for a try.
very nice looking site, I like the colors
Please post an example ip, testfile.
@Dean — they are hosted in OVH which you should be able to find out what the test IPs are.
@LEA Thanks for info. =]
These guys seem to be doing good.
@RackVM: Please come back with the previous offer.
Very happy with my UK based VPS from these guys!
OVH has ipv6 active in their datacenter…do you also have it on these VPSes from RackVM?
Hi No I am afraid we haven’t implemented ipv6 at the moment. The offer is now recurring 🙂
If it’s recuring, then why do I get a recurring fee of 20 instead of 18?
It shows:
Subtotal: £34.42GBP
16.00 Recurring Discount: £16.00GBP
Total Due Today: £18.42GBP
Total Recurring: £20.00GBP Annually
Can you explain the 16 (while 50% of 36 is 18) and why the recurring is 20 instead of 18?
Never mind my last remark …. misread the offer….thought it was 50% off, while it 20/year…my mistake….
16 minutes between order and setup…nice…
Also great pings to others hosts in Europe!
@Dirk I think they have pro-rota billing, meaning your paying for the “rest of the year” or something.
@Daniel: it’s indeed pro-rata billing. I misread that the offer was 50%, while it was 20/year …so the amounts were correct.
@Ben: thanks for making it recurring
About the ipv6 addressing, is that something that you plan on adding (shortly)?
Last time I took on in uk128 and one in France(384) with earlier offer from Rackvm. My trace showed thru. OVH’s branch of Kimsufi. Anyway it is good but this offer has more space and ram 🙁 as well as good price. I paid $27.68USD/year for 384/25g/250g. 🙁
only 5dolloar more and I could have bigger ram. Can I be able to switch it:)
@Ben I just kidding about switching, I am happy with what I have:).
Hi
Yes we will add ipv6 soon but I belive SolusVM doesn’t support it in its IP pools.
@Ben: Correct SolusVM isn’t supporting it yet, however that shouldn’t stop you from offering them. Your “collegues” @BuyVM for example offer ipv6 addresses (16) AND use SolusVM too.
Test ip and big file to test download speeds in from your french data centre please.
Hi
Please try http://178.32.50.26/100mb.test
vpn allowed?
Hi
Yes VPN is allowed.
Just placed my order. Thanks for the offer.
What about payment with paypal?
Hi
We have opened this offer to UK also, however there is only currently 10 placements. Order link is. https://secure.rackvm.com/cart.php?a=add&pid=76
Is the offer only available to french people or it just means that the servers are located in France, so I can buy that VPS offer from Spain?
Kind,
Ivan
Why not accept Paypal?
Does RackVM allow IRC?
They do not, atleast not on UK servers. Hopefully they’ll change this policy in future. IRC really isn’t that “bad” 🙂
I’d srtongly suggest SSL for its control panel.
I have removed the comments between Ben @ RackVM and Daniel. Please move the communication between yourselves.
I’ve wget from pingvps and the result’s below:
Please anybody, Is’t good result? and what’s the proper method for testing?
It’s over now
I am testing RackVM for 30 days, ad I must say that they are slow on suport tickets, above 24 hours to reply, also i had many problems with them like, not working console access, my vps was offline last 3 days, all in all I do not recommend them, slow support and buggy servers.
“Hello
Apologies for the delay all nodes are up and working fully with uptimes of over 30 days.
Please let us know if you are still having issues with your server as from what I can see all servers are working.
I would recommend a rebuild should you server be offline and that there is an issue with your vps.
We provide an unmanaged service which solely includes Level 1 support.
Unmanged services cover network and power.
We full appreciate that some ”
”
Hi
Sorry for the delay please could you try now for me as I have fixedthe console.”
As expected, today they forbid access to my PAYED vps! You can see what kind of people I was dealing with. Dont take chances with them if you have real hosting business.
Same for me….my VPS does not work anymore!
