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.
There’s nothing about services provided in their ToS.
BE AWARE ABOUT SEMOWEB! BAD HOST! SCAM HOST! RESELLER OF OTHER PROVIDER!
They are using nulled WHMCS in past, and reseller of other master reseller provider. I know this guys personally very well. Suspended twice and they currently use vps, dont have any dedicated server…. If you dont want to be scam and put your money on the ponds, just stay away from semoweb – scam host !
Raj,
Im quite disappointed by your faulse comments.
Just to clarify we do not run ANY of our services off of VPS. We have dedicated servers at Iweb -CL and Interserver and we do provision our VPS out of the data center of HostDime.
We also never have nor never will use a nulled WHMCS you can verify here http://www.whmcs.com/members/verifydomain.php
Im unsure what exactly you have against us how ever im more than anxious to see proof that you have services with us or had.. Id love to see the screen shots as far as im concerned your just trying to ruin our reputation.
Awaiting your reply.
Dustin,
Calm down please, I’m waiting for his proof too :)
What’s “Account security code” on your checkout page?
Hello,
We require 2 forms of security to each account for validation for phone support, live chat etc.. so if some ones calls on behalf of your account or if you call we request validation of such security codes or security questions before even speaking to them or you about account details or even touching the server, its just a security measure we implented.
May I know your connection uplinks?
Hello, they are GigE
Dear All,
With all do respect, i met Dusten from semo web 7 months ago, and to be honest i had some doubts about him in the beginning, but after starting with him, let say that he has the best support team, also the best gentle way of doing and solving issues if there is any, also he is very friendly and very polite, and personally I would work with him for ever
Best Regards
Alaa Kadoura
I don’t know whether Raj’s comments are true, and definitely I will be cautious, but I liked the way in which Dustin responded to Raj – a nice and professional reply.
How long since SemoWeb has been in business? No mention on LEB and they seem new here atleast.
I mentioned in my last blog post about them. The domain has been around for 2 years.
I guess the link is “looping” back to this post…
Correct working on 3 years with 3-4 months :-p
SemoWeb is the biggest rip-off ever. They treat their customers like total crap, do not respond to support tickets and think it’s to delete someones services without asking them and for no valid reason. They should be avoided at all costs.
