On LowEndBox, we try to bring our readers the best deals and a mix of companies.  There are some companies here who’ve been in business for 20+ years.  Others are just starting up.  Part of the fun of LEB is that you get to see all kinds of offers and jump on those that appeal to you.  You can mix and match to your needs – maybe the old stalwarts for your vital production systems, and the young guns for dev and play.

Rickie from StockVPS contacted us with their first offer for LowEndBox for some KVM VPSes in New York.  They’re a new company, born of COVID-19.  Their founder has been doing web design and hosting for his clients since 2003 and in December 2019 dipped his toe into the general hosting market. They’re a Canadian company and this is their story:

“It was always a goal to start a hosting business since I was a kid, yeah strange goals for a kid right? I was introduced to networking at a very early age as well as some freelance web developments, but long story short I was very much inspired by the concepts. StockVPS was started after being laid off due to the pandemic and I realized this was the time to pursue this goal. We are a new small business based out of British Columbia, Canada driven to provide reliable and affordable services with great customer support for years to come. We are not here to try and be the big boys in the industry, just a chance to help other small businesses grow and also a chance for all general purpose users to expand. We currently only offer KVM VPS service but have future plans to expand to offer cheaper OpenVZ solutions and shared web hosting as we continue to grow. Being budget friendly and reliable is our main goal and we’re always happy to help you find what you need or maybe you have suggestions for us, just give us a shout at support@stockvps.com!”

Now you know as much as we do about StockVPS, but you can visit their site to learn more and decide if you want to give them a shot.  You can find their TOS on their website as well as their Privacy Policy.  If you decide to give them a spin, you can pay with PayPal.

Particularly with new hosts, the LEB community is eager to hear about your experience.  If you sign up with StockVPS, please comment below and let us know how it goes.
