Via this offer on WHT, VPSRepublic has some some amazingly cheap VPS deals, starting at $3.50/month (!!). You get
- 128MB guaranteed/256MB burstable memory
- 1GB storage
- 75GB monthly data transfer
- OpenVZ
- Debian / Ubuntu / CentOS / Fedora / Gentoo / OpenSUSE
Their standard plan also fits into the criteria at $5.50/month with 256MB/512MB of memory. Their servers are at KevWorks in Los Angeles. Not sure about the control panel but as their site is hosted on an LxAdmin host, I presume it would be HyperVM based. Their domain was only registered early this month so caveat emptor. You can find out more about the owner by googling around.

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.

VPSRepublic and VPSEmpire are providing a great
deal of entertainment over on WHT.. check it out :)
Just signed up to them – waiting for my details.
Received my details, so far good service.
Very good VPS.. so far.
ive being with these a day.. quick response from site admin, also very helpfull and looks after there customers, would recomend, definatly
They just went down.
theyve being going down alot.
They seemed good, but seems my home computer has beter uptime, and that isnt in a datacenter with 20gb conectivity and UPS lol.
Man, defo not re-newing
Another budget VPS company biting the dust? More on their issues in this thread at WHT.
yeahp. theyve closed down.
Have they really closed down?
Their Web site is still up and accepting orders, it seems…
Wierd tht is. they officially told me they closed down and was going to re-open with a more “enterprise-level” market, meaning they wernt going to be so cheap, guess the host went on some kind of rampage and could nt take customers complaining about downtime.. so closed it down but got bored of having nothing to do and re-opened. lol
I went with servebyte.com, they are great!
Yes, they cancelled my account all of a sudden and said they were shutting up shop. Even if they are carrying on I think they have convincingly proved their unreliability enough to make me not want to return.
Echoservers.com bought VPSRepublic from the old owners.
The site is now online and accepting orders once again. They were getting DDoSed attacked that is why the network kept going down.
The old owners have moved on to other endeavors.
Kind Regards,
Jesse
The “someone-else.com bought our-vps.com” is a very limited excuse for not providing the service that only works the first time over.
Mind what happened with VPSEmpire, now VPSRepublic and guess the future.
There are times where people get fooled.
This are times where people who want to get fooled get fooled.
Just to say that i use one of there vps (standard plan) and everything is perfect for the moment (i have already used it 1 month). No down time. Just their website is sometimes down but not mine :D
