Saw some cheap VPS packages at ViperVPS, which is a new VPS company created in Feb 2009. For $5.95/month, you get
- 128MB guaranteed/256MB burstable memory
- 30GB storage
- 300GB/month data transfer
- OpenVZ/HyperVM
It also advertised “100% Uptime” and “Satisfaction Guaranteed” on their website. The VPS will be in Seattle although their website is hosted with SoftLayer in Dallas. Via this WHT offer.

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.
From the WHT thread, no raid on the node server. Ewww.
I think with all these VPS providers that pop up it’s good practice to keep your own regular backups.
Client-run backup should never be optional. The server might have RAID10 SAS drives, but with all these dodgy providers out there, they might disappear into thin air the next day and you would have lost all your data if there’s no backup.
i have bought one vps from them, just only for testing purposes, not for production box, let see what happen in the next 30 days… :D

Don’t go with ViperVPS. They incorrectly set up my VPS and it took them 2 weeks to reply to my ticket and set it up properly. That 2 weeks counted towards my paid 1 month. I had to pay for another service because of this and ViperVPS did not give any refund despite their satisfaction guarantee. The 24 hour response guarantee is a lie as well, it will take days or even weeks to get a reply once they have your money. These people are simply trying to get lots of customers fast so they can sell the business. Don’t waste your money
Looks like ViperVPS’s website no longer exists – domain was not resolvable this morning. Although it’s back now, it’s showing directory listing than an actual website (on a HostLatch server).
FAIL.
dead?
