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 am their reseller, but their resell system need to upgrade. Because after I buy a vps from thrustvps but they dont creat a new SolusVM account for the new vps, so all the vps show and manager through my SolusVM account. That’s not good to reseller. I hope they will solved this problem.
Got a OpenVZ with $4/mon from a reseller http://www.hostermi.com/
No SolusVM,and my VPS was ‘said’ up with IP XXX,but i cannot ping it,and when the reseller mail damnvps,no reply for 2 hours
The only negative thing about ThurstVPS so far is that it only accepts Paypal. I cannot pay via Paypal :(
This is very bad.
I just signed up with them. Their automated process failed (my vps was unreachable, or wouldn’t boot on or something). After a support ticket and several hours, they transferred my account to a different node and it has been working great ever since.
Their prices seem really competitive for everything you get. Also, they do accept credit cards.
Does this include Remote desktop connection?
Yes, you can access any Windows VPS using remote desktop connection. This offer is over though. But Thrust::VPS are still pretty cheap for a Windows VPS. Starts at $7.95 per month for the same plan shown in this post.
yes..it is cheap for a windows vps
but is it worthed for having several downtimes like Asim and i had?
I’m just getting near the end of my first month with them. It honestly feels like no one is home. Server backups to the central backup do not work. I scheduled a backup 2 weeks ago and it is still showing as queued. Their website has PHP errors all over the place and the SolusVM admin panel can be very slow or simply won’t load at times.
The price is great if you’re wanting to go it alone. I haven’t “raised” (their words, not mine) any support tickets, so I honestly don’t know if there are humans actually running the show or if the machines have taken over.
