Matt from SSD Nodes has emailed me a coupon code to get listed on LowEndBox. Use coupon code LOWENDBOX to get the most basic configuration “Small Node” for $6.99/month (same offer on WHT). Sign up here, and here is the spec of this VPS:
- 128MB memory
- 8GB + 40GB storage
- 100GB/month data transfer on 1Gbps
- 1x IPv4 + 64k IPv6
- XenServer
With storage, do note that it presents two option on the ordering page — “Primary” and “Secondary” storage. Primary is either a 8GB SATA drive, or a 8GB SSD drive (costs extra). Secondary is a 40GB SATA drive. So at the end, even though the company is called “SSD Nodes”, you actually do not get any SSD storage when you are paying the low end box price. Payment is PayPal only. Servers with SoftLayer in Dallas TX. Contact is in Orange CA, but the company (SSD Nodes LLC) is registered in Delaware. Domain has been registered since May this year.
One positive review here. Probably not the best offer at the moment, especially regarding to the amount of memory and monthly data. However you do get SoftLayer service and connectivity.

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.
64k IPv6 is a strange number (not that anyone ever needs this much IPv6 addresses…)
Or is it a /64 ?
It might be a /112.
This must be the most pathetic offer I have seen in the past few month.

“However you do get SoftLayer service and connectivity.”
Not exactly. You must be a Softlayer direct customer to get their great service and somewhat good connectivity. Actually you do get SSD Nodes service and connectivity. :-)
And even then, some of us don’t think much of “SoftLayer service”. Unless of course you’re a known spammer who wants bulletproof hosting for at least a while.
LEA, you almost owed me a new laptop for that line. I think I can wipe off the iced tea though. :)
I agree with you :) lol
What? That LEA owes me a new laptop? :D
Everybody should get a free laptop!
Oops. I meant to say that you get the “SoftLayer prestige that cannot be justified by the high price you pay”.
Micron SLC SATA III SSD space is now included on all nodes (including the lowendbox deal).
You can select it from the “Secondary Storage” menu.
This deal seems to have dried up — it now says $9.95 for the xen box and another $14.95 for the SSD.
I’d say it wasn’t particularly moist in the first place.
The coupon is back! Try it again and let me know if you run into any problems.
LEA, can you fix the icons to be at least unique to IP’s?
Because other comments such as “Everybody should get a free laptop!” from some other Tom are not made by me.
My bad they are different. I’ll go get a pair of glasses in the mean time lol…

If anyone is interested, here is my review for them:

I know the prices may not be the most budget, but I have pretty good impression with them, particularly with the SSD drives and of course the customer service as well.
Your test in the SSD probably may not be accurate if you let the device getting full. Use a smaller test file (count)
And btw, as I said you before, but you didn’t noticed, stop using Geekbench 2.2, search in LET for a thread about it
Yap, after failing so many times, I think it is time to give up using GB 2.2….
