Here is another new host with newly registered domain name — which hopefully the readers here know what I meant :) Veeblox has a few economical VPS offers, and the cheapest one being only $3/month (Micro VPS). You get:
- 128MB guaranteed/256MB burstable memory
- 10GB storage
- 100GB/month data transfer
- 2 IP addresses
No words on the virtualization technology, which I presume to be OpenVZ. IP address of their website is with Peer1, and hosted in UK. You can pay monthly (which I guess $3 will easily be eaten away by processing fees), and there’s 99.9% uptime + 30day money back guarantee…
Yeah. Whatever. Their web pages are full of mistakes (“Shared Linux Hosting Packages” in VPS page? 120MB burstable to 96MB?). Anyone wants to give them a try? :)

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.

They seem dead already. http://www.veeblox.com no longer resolves.
Well. Not that surprised from what I have observed when I first looked at it…
Fortunately that my VM still runs well on their server. I hope they can survive a little bit longer… at least till my $3 expire… :)
my VM also died… they died completely…
cannot reach their website. Must be down or dead forever
this is what i got…

Hello,
My name is Jacob and I understand you used to have Veeblox hosting for a web host. You may have noticed your VPS down lately. This is because Veeblox has disappeared. We are going to offer you the opportunity to get your data back, would you like that? Please reply back within 24 hours, after that we will delete the data.

Hello everyone,
Veeblox completely dissapeared. At this point we contacted everyone we could (all four of you who had VPSs) — we have removed all the VPSs now, and the server has been formatted.
Let me know if we can do anything for you!
Jacob
