Under his leadership, LowEndBox is evolving into more than just a deals site, it’s becoming a resource hub, media platform, and discovery engine for DIY hosting enthusiasts and indie cloud providers.
When he’s not working on platform improvements, Jon can be found engaging with users on LowEndTalk (@jbiloh), collaborating with providers, and exploring new ways to support the next generation of internet builders.
Expensive
$6/month for OpenVZ? Expensive.
100 GB/month transfer is very small amount, too.
Honestly, I fail to see how this offer would entice anyone. Props for taking Bitcoin though.

Why you dont ask them to improve the Offer? Maybe to 2 GB Ram or 2 TB Traffic…:)
Yeah it’s too expensive for that kind of specs. I mean it probably works as a product in Switzerland, but not in the LEB market. You should definitely make it at least 500GB. To be honest I think peoples usage behaviour does not change if you offer some more transfer.
I have a VPS in Zurich (Equinix) already from OneProvider and it’s got 1TB transfer of which I rarely use 20GB. But I like the fact, that I don’t have to think about overusage and additional costs.
Also, definitely no OpenVZ please. KVM or XEN for full kernel modifications should be available for that kind of money. I don’t want to ask you for any fuse fs or VPN device.
You get more bandwidth in Asia and South Africa these days, than this.
