This year we’ve got lots of new people visiting our site and enjoying their first Black Friday.  Maybe you clicked a link from one of our video tutorials, or maybe you came across our site from browsing.  However you got here, we welcome you and offer a brief introduction.

• LowEndBox.com goes back to 2008 and is oldest site on the Internet devoted to cheap VPS, cheap dedi, and cheap shared hosting deals
• a “Low End Box” is slang for a system selling for under $7/month, or however you would define cheap hosting
• We have a sister site, LowEndTalk, which is a famous forum wherein you can ask questions, debate technologies, and get even more offers
• We also have a growing YouTube channel where we post news, info, and tutorials.

You’ve landed here just as Black Friday is getting underway.  From November 24 to Monday, November 29, we celebrate Black Friday and Cyber Monday by posting great deals.  Both here and over on LowEndTalk!

When I say great, what do I mean?

• There will be offers this season that are under $11/YEAR for a 1GB VPS
• Big Windows VPSes for less than $5/mo are coming
• Shared hosting for under $3/YEAR
• Dedis for $25.97/mo

All you have to do is sit back, hit reload, and let these amazing offers tempt you.  New offers drop randomly throughout the day and evening (US Eastern time)! 🥳

Beyond the command line, Raindog is a lover of German Shepherds, high-quality knives, target shooting, theology, tabletop RPGs, and hiking in deep, quiet forests.
