Chris from SimpleRack emailed their special discount for LowEndBox readers. Use promo code 650VPS to get $12.50 recurring discount on their Entry Level VPS (direct order link).
- 512MB memory
- 30GB storage
- 700GB/month data transfer
- 3 IP addresses
- OpenVZ/SolusVM
Servers in Kansas City MO. No burstable memory for OpenVZ, and RAID10 is used on their servers. We also have Chris, Cody and Bruce answering people’s comments in previous posts so definitely not a one man shop.
The first payment is pro-rata, so interestingly after you apply the $12.50 discount the first payment is $0. Not sure whether it is intended but sounds like you get a week to try out the VPS there :)

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.
Hello,
We have fixed the issue with the $0 showing up.
Thank You,
Chris
Why no burstable memory?
Is this running on gigE ?
How about next month ? Still $6.5/mo ?
Yes we do run on a gigE network. Next month is still going to be 6.50/mo. The current promotion is 6.50 recurring.
Hi everyone,
Currently there is an error with our billing system where it prorates Control Panel licenses. This is an error so when you order your VPS please keep this in mind, I am working on contacting Chris to correct the issue. If you have any questions during the ordering process please do not hesitate to contact us via Live Chat or email at sales@simplerack.net.
Sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you for choosing Simple Rack.
Thank you for your time,

They will change the amount you owe, if you use coupon code and order cPanel. I ordered and the system said my recurring would be 12.32. When I logged in the first time, imagine my suprise that it then showed 18.82. I contacted support and was told that my amount should be 23.50 and that if I submitted a support ticket they would fix it. I submitted a cancellation and refund request, because of the bait and switch tactic. I would consider seriously before I signed up, just my suggestion. Might check some of the other providers on here first :)
Bert,
There is no bait and switch tactic. It was a simple mistake.
