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 happen to like the 404’d award image, $5/month unlimited disk space, lack of ssl, address listed is http://www.sacramentoconventioncenter.com/venues/exhibitHall/ (lol), and what appears to be a phone number that isn’t valid
oh, and the billing system is hosted non-securely on a shared server with hundreds of other sites? i can’t wait, sign me up plz
Yeah originally I thought “J Street” got to be dodgy — until Google Maps show that there’s really a J Street in Sacrameto (as well as other alphabets).
They havent even bothered to change some of the text on the template.

They certainly know how to configure WHMCS too – http://i.imgur.com/WN4u2.png
> We offer the very best prices for registering domains.
Nonsense, the first few TLDs I tried were cheaper at namecheap.
The 25% off seems to work for all their VPS packages btw, but cheap or not I wouldn’t trust these guys with my money, they seem pretty clueless all round.
“The vesy latest cpanel”
“Amazingly easy to use builder”
“Applicatin”
“Many more featurd apps inside”
“We Promise you to provid a good service and support, our highly qualified suppor team will help you in any aspect you need them. We just need you co-operation with us to grow and maintain our quality for serving you the better hosting services.”
I’m starting to doubt that the staff are actually named Jason and James and that they’re US based
Their grasp on the English language seems quite primitive.
They could just be 11 year olds,
How can you doubt a company that received a testimonial from the illustrious John Smith?
From the TOS: “VPSBD not allow background-running programs.” Besides the Failglish, isn’t that a rather, um, broad restriction?
Yes, you are no longer allowed to run init!
Hey, where did the star rating go?
Looks like they had some issues with WHT as well:

Interesting how they just left it like that.
Probably copied and pasted.
Agreed but wouldn’t one noticed that something was amiss?
Unless they didn’t read what they were posting.
I don’t even know why we bother to post hosts like these -_- just a waste of space IMO.
Their website is riddled with errors, for example this
http://grab.by/aWOw
It almost makes me laugh, but then reality hits me that people might actually be trying out the service
And they’ll be back in a few months complaining how their service has died or the company’s site is off line or any number of other problems.
And we’ll be pointing to these comments saying “We told you so.”
Only thing that’s missing now is the RLShosting irc crowd making distasteful comments about me.
“Told you so” doesn’t work with people though, look at people who suffer data loss due to drive failure or whatever. We’ve been banging on at them about backups for decades, and they still don’t bother.
But of course, we’re just being picky, or biased against these providers, right?
Correct spelling is free and requires nothing more than a spell checker. If a host can’t even manage that, what hope is there?
Awww DrMike, lets all remember the PenguinTux scenes.
That’s not wrong, using a VPN to “browse the hole world” is code for what you to do access restricted porn sites while at work.
But yeah, their site’s a joke. They could’ve had it proofread for next to nothing by a native English speaker (no way these guys are native speakers, no way whatsoever) and then we’d have had much less to nitpick about.
We didn’t need to know what you do when you’re at work ;)
:P
I work from home so I have unrestricted access… No need for VPNs and proxies for me!
Gary, you must not be married.
“Honey, what are all these kink.com urls in your browser history?…”
We have multiple PCs, and our own logins. ;)
Gary, I think you should talk to your wife, and maybe try fill that gap with something other then
Lowendtherapist?
Oh no, I feel sorry for them, a little proof reading and their reputation would have perhaps progressed a little in the forward direction.
Hello all,
I read all the conversion, quite negative impression about us. Its quite not acceptable, I will clearly explain about our website.
Our website design was previously different, now we changed as to add new services into it. So, the website is not fully developed yet. I apologize for that mistake I did.
We are in this business from last 5 years, we were working with Duomarkets, and I guess everyone who dealing with web hosting knows what duomarkets history, no need to recall all.
We have completely separated and started with our own server at start of 2011. Even we are new still hosted many customer successfully, and all are happy with us. And form my side I assure you that you will get for what you pay. We have anytime money back guarantee! So, no need to worry for the services if anytime you feel that our service is not stable or acceptable to you just send us the cancellation request to us we will refund you for unused days. No cheating will done from our side, and as we are new, so we just need the customer satisfaction and trust for us to grow more. We want to earn reputation for our company not a negative marks for us.
Thank you all!
You’ve been in business for 5 years and can’t get it together to get a website up and running?
Shouldn’t have sent in an offer to LEA then.
WHT and other forums offer space for reviews of websites. Would have taken 2 seconds to put up a request and had folks look at it. Then you wouldn’t have gone through all of this.
An aside to LEA and others. Maybe we should start doing website reviews over on LET. Heck I’ll go as far as making them as a requirement before any offer is posted but I don’t think you’ll go that far. Would clear up a lot of these offers from folks with sites with dozens of errors.
Why would you put your website up before it was finished? Why wouldn’t you proofread it?
They need the money to continue services maybe?
They didn’t realize that their website was in such sad shape?
Elvis and/or Bigfoot told them to do so?
They didn’t think it was important?
They don’t think much of the mental capacity of the typical LEB user?
Impress that hot red head them met in chem class?
They’re giving paid for reviews according to their facebook:
https://www.facebook.com/vpsbd.net/posts/158654810882251
I’d seriously question any review that gets posted about them anywhere. The WHT mods are already aware.
Francicso
I’m 100% convinced at this point that their name isn’t really Jason and that all contact info is falsified apart from email
We manage only VPN services through facebook page, and the offer about review is only for VPN service. The review is allowed of the clients who are already using our VPN service, new clients are not allowed to review us without using our VPN services.
Oh that makes it OK then. No, wait. It really doesn’t. Giving your customers incentive to review you is just wrong, since for them to be able to make use of the incentive you have to be able to work out who they are. Since you can work out who they are, are they going to be honest, or will they sugar coat it?
Yes Sir, I truly agree with you so I am going to discard that note from facebook page. Thank you for suggesting me.
Spotted this there too:
“Vpsbd you can contact our sales person for India at navneet.b1990@gmail.com”
What’s the betting that Navneet is more than just a sales person, and is actually “Jason” or “James”?
We do not take order for Indian customer as they need bank transfer, Mr. Navneet is from india and supporting us with our work so we tell Indian customer to send payment to his bank account.
Ok, that makes sense. From your posts here and on facebook it’s pretty clear that you’re not a native English speaker, which I would expect from someone called Jason Willis.
Who are you, and who is Jason Willis?
Their site is down.
Maybe they broke their own TOS
They claimed they were ‘resolving that issue’ soon, so I’m assuming a move to NL?
Francisco
What issue?
the issue with torrents.
Francisco
Well even in the netherlands, attempting to download a pirated edition of perhaps the X-Men movie would still be illegal
We are not down or moving, there is a issue with cPanel update we are facing. We just claimed cPanel regarding it and still we are trying to resolve it. Our website will be back up working soon.
I’m sorry. Who’s fault is it?
This is just sad:

Their site and customers with shared hosting account was hacked.

The French kid?
Lmao how did these even get listed.
exactly the same way your scammy wannabe company did
Go on?
And do you have any evidence to back up what you have just said? No.
I would consider that slander, have you noticed the listing i believe you are talking about is no longer there? There is a reason for that ;)
No court would consider it slander. Libel, perhaps.
There`s not much between the two.
Major difference. Libel is written, no court would consider it slander.
I don’t believe i ever mentioned court? Either way hes bashing our company with no prior knowledge or experience with our services.
Why mention slander then? Slander is a legal term. And how do you know he’s had no prior knowledge or experience with your services?
Are you going to come and get involved with every thread i make? Its like your obsessed with me.
And simple, because none of our actual customers have complained about anything, period.
Hey, if he can provide his client ID or server IP i would be more than happy to take back anything i have said, but im sure he wont ;)
he secretly likes you
He is not doing that well at hiding it :P
You’ll find that I posted on this thread long before you did, and it was actually pertinent info rather than your pathetic loltrolling.
No idea what right you have to be laughing at another provider anyway, since your company will probably head the same way soon enough…
If that time ever comes feel free to comment, until then stop trolling my posts, your last attempt failed miserably.
I’m not going to help you derail this thread, so piss off. You’re the one trolling.
