Has anyone noticed that there seems to be more and more low-end VPS providers popping up from virtually nowhere? Is that the Gloabl Financial Crisis that drives the demand of cheap virtual servers? Or the cheap VPS is the new oversold reseller shared hosting account, where providers from nowhere want to come in to grab a quick buck?
Anyway. SliceBox is offering a 33% off lifetime discount on their OpenVZ on WHT. Their Plan1-Personal was already cheap at $5.95/month, and after the coupon code would become $3.99/month. You get:
- 128MB guaranteed/256MB burstable memory
- 10GB storage
- 250GB/month data transfer
- HyperVM/OpenVZ
Server is with FDC Servers in Denver CO.

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.
Any idea whether this web host began in 2005 as per their site footer, “Copyright © 2005, Slicebox.NET. All rights reserved”, or just a couple of weeks ago?

Signed up for their 3.99$ plan, seems pretty fast so far
Hi, sorry about that actually, we are a fresh company, and the discount is for introductory offers, we were checking google search and came to this posting, thanks for ordering. The reason behind starting this is Myself got fascinated about VPS technology itself , plus we had to explore other line of businesses.
Signed up with them, as Bergen Hosting wanted some sort of ID (i.e drivers license, etc..). I’ll report back how it goes.

Haven’t had a problem with them yet. Uptime would be near 60 days if I hadn’t rebooted the VPS for software installation reasons.
