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.
This is quite funny. #1 where it says “VPS”, Quite funny. We have actually our own servers in which we can provide proof of. #2, Notice how on the site it says “We have servers out of Grandview and New York”, #3, All of us have been in the web industry for years, That is why we opened this company. Please do not hesitate to contact us for ‘True’ information.
Under “Why Us” on your home page:
So is it Grandview or is it New York? Do your customers have to choice where to have their servers? Instead of letting your potential customers to contact you for “True” information, maybe consider putting some of them on your website? VPS providers are dime a dozen, and I would guess most of potential customers won’t even bother if they can’t find sufficient info on the first glance.
I see. Right now, We do offer VPS’s out of Grandview and New york. The reason we are not listing grandview at this time is because the new servers have yet to arrive from a chicago datacenter. Once we receive these server’s, We will re open vps’s out of Grandview. For now though, We are limited to new york, Soon to expand to Offshore VPS’s.
P/S. Sorry if i caused anger and confusion. It’s just we are a bit upset because our new servers should of been here in the new facility a week ago. Yet they are still in transit.
IP to the website not resolving a week ago since 8 July. Might soon to be listed in the dead pool for this month.
