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.
Thanks for the listing LEA.
These will all be provisioned on gigabit nodes (in case anyone was wondering).
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone.
Could I get the cpuinfo please? Just one core would be fine.
Is IPv6 available?
Not at the moment.
i want to pay yearly,about tips only first month can discount $2.
Not a problem at all.
Just sign up for the promo and pay for the month then open up a ticket with billing.
We sold out of the original quantity but now have more stock available.
Ah, perfect,I will later order one :)
When will you add ipv6?
Do you offer an arch distribution?
Hey Amfy,
We will be adding IPv6 right when our data center says it’s ready. I don’t have an ETA for it at the moment, but they are working on it.
I can load an Arch linux distro for you no problem.
I’d like them. The website design is minimalistic, there offers are cheap, and the price of 4$ is perfect and a nice number :)
I have made some tests, if someone want a specific thing, please say it, and maybe I could do that in some hours again, maybe they went better ;)

Thanks for the positive feedback.
If anyone else is looking for a VPS we have more stock available.
Can I get a VPS if I do not have a domain name registered for it ? I am looking for a server to perform as the back end (crunching and indexing text mostly) for a machine learning project.
Since it is not going to be exposed to the public directly I do not need a DNS name and the VPS Three offer suits my needs perfectly. However I tried to order and couldn’t do so without providing a server name and an NS record (I have neither).
A domain name is not required. Just put whatever name you want in the hostname box, then enter ns1 and ns2 in the following two boxes.
If you have any other questions, feel free to contact us through the site. Thanks.
Can I setup a VPN on this service for a US IP address?
Sure.
Thanks for answering on Christmas Day.
can you please offer other methods of payment besides paypal?
If you do not have a PayPal account that is fine, it is not required. You can checkout and pay with a credit card.
Matt at SecuredSpeed is absolutely awesome. I got a quick automated setup, practically instantly, enabled TUN on the vps, speed is insane, and dirt cheap. My support ticket was answered in 4 minutes. That’s unheard of. Thanks again Matt!!
That is great to hear. Enjoy!
I purchased a 512Mb VPS from SecuredSpeed last month, and I would have to say they had just about as much stability/uptime as Bhost.co.uk. For the record, Bhost was good for uptime and performance for the network and the VPS. So far I have tried 3 different providers using OpenVZ, and I just haven’t fallen in love with the virtualization platform, when compared to common Xen/VmWare.
Support from Matt @SecuredSpeed was….speedy(hehe), as I only had to request Iptables mods be added to my vm, and it was done in a quick and friendly manner.
I would say that the vps and the network were pretty good, and also the support I received was professional. I would recommend this provider if you happen to need an OpenVZ VPS with good performance in the SW USA.
Thanks Dano!
