Did you know that back in 2008, LEB didn’t even celebrate Black Friday? Back in those neolithic times, with a 20% discount, you could get a 64MB VPS for $4.80 a month. Ouch!
LEB’s first Black Friday event was November of 2010. While we were starting to see more modern pricing ( e.g., $24/year for a 512MB VPS), there were still a lot of $6/mo for 512MB deals back then. Or $5/mo for 256MB!
Last year we saw some epic offers:
- HyperExpert‘s 1GB VPS for $1/year!
- CheapWindowsVPS offering a 4GB Windows VPS for $4.50/month…I hear it may be cheaper this year!
- 8TB of storage for $20/month from ServaRICA!
- ServerMania‘s 100TB bandwidth dedi offer!
In spite of inflation, a lot of providers are still hungry for business this year and are bringing some great offers. It all starts Wednesday, November 24th!

I would check the link on HyperExpert and you would see that it was pretty much a scam!
Not a very good example to promote LowEndBox!
I wonder if CheapWindowsVPS has solved their bandwidth problems. Several people were reporting slow uplinks last year.
CheapWindowsVPS has reported to LowEndBox that they have made numerous hardware improvements over the past year. Try them out and let us know what you think!
