Via this WHT offer. SmokyHosts is a hosting provider founded in late 2004 — yes almost 5 years ago and which probably means reputation in the cheapo VPS market. They are currently offering 50% recurring offer on their Virtuozzo VPS products. With combination of coupon code NOVSPEC50OFF, prepaid for 12 months + $25 set up fee (yes I know it’s weird to have set up fee for virtual servers), it all comes down to $68.86 for the first year, and $52.56/year recurring.
You get
- 128MB guaranteed
- 10GB storage
- 100GB/month data transfer
- Virtuozzo
Since no burstable memory is specified I presume it would be Virtuozzo SLM, which is a lot better than the user beancounter model in all of OpenVZ virtual servers. Their website now appears to be hosted at Liquid Web in Lansing MI.

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.
