Via this WHT offer. The NY NOC has recently been acquired by Steadfast Networks. They are now back on budget virtual server hosting, and has released some new packages — including their “Super Duper VPS” at $21/3 months or $60/year. You get:
- 256MB guaranteed memory
- 2GB storage
- 500Gb/month data transfer
- OpenVZ
You get to choose between Chicago or New York data center. Chicago being Steadfast’s home base. On the WHT offer page there is also a coupon code DOUBLEPREPAY that doubles the length of your prepay. For example if you opt for $60/year, you will get 2 years instead, which makes this deal very generous.
I have used The NY NOC before for a year, and it was okay. They used HyperVM before but not sure whether it has been changed. Hopefully by moving to Steadfast infrastructure it would be much better.

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.
I had a VPS with NYNoc – reliability was good but my IP address changed 3-4 times in 1 year.
My current VPS is offline as I dont know the new IP address as they just changed everything.
this is quite nice deal. for $60 u can get 256MB Ram for 24 months (with coupon doubleprepay) or $2.5/mo. but after 1 year, there might be many providers sell higher specs for the same price. and this offer will no longer the best.
i guess i am not ready for this long term (2 years) commitment. LOL. I expect some other better deals coming soon. that’s why we keep visiting LowEndBox.Com because we always expect there are some nice deals coming up.
LEB admin, how about writing an article regarding market trend in low end vps? haha.
What market trend?! Things get cheaper, beefier, etc every year. But the low end market is still a mixed bag of shady operators (but some really good providers).
I’ve had a VPS with them for a couple years; the service was always cheap, but extremely unspectacular. The migration of some hosts to new hardware after the Steadfast purchase went horrible; they screwed up pretty much everything they touched.
My VPS – which is about $5/mo – has four 250MHz CPU slices, and constantly runs at a load of 1.5-2.5 because of obscene i/o wait, which has only gotten worse since the Steadfast acquisition and transfer to new hardware. It’s kind of absurd, really.
Also, per /proc/user_beancounters, my “numproc” is now just 75, and my “numfile” is 1800, both of which I regularly run up against with very annoying results.
You can definitely do better elsewhere, IMO.
