Jake from vpsVIBE has sent me some discount for the LowEndBox readers. LEB11 gives you 10% off for their first 3 invoices. Their plan starts at $3.99/month with
- 256MB guaranteed/512MB burstable memory

Direct sign up link. PayPal only. Servers with Continuum in Lombard/Chicago IL (test IP: 216.231.135.145). Read my last post and the comments for more info. WHOIS privacy protection is on, although I don’t see why it is necessary — people here know that they are the unmanaged VPS arm of GenVPS/GenShared. SSL has been added to ordering page since last time, and they have also added ToS and AUP (no IRC).

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.
Hello and thank your for the post. Whois privacy, I agree, is most unnecessary and will be removed shortly.
We listen to the suggestions and points raised on LEB and do our best to rectify them. If you have any issues or questions, you can contact us any time via our pre-sales ticket on vpsVIBE.
Regards,
Jake
The SSL-Client-Area redirects to itself with no SSL. So in the end no SSL in client area. Not good.
The issue with SSL has now been rectified.
Regards
They’re still using the pirated BuyVm theme it appears.

May want to run through that thread again as I believe this was one of the issues raised.
We have a new design currently in progress, however, our current design is in no way pirated, as mentioned by an LEB user in the previous thread.
We had purchased the theme from a designer on Web Hosting Talk, regardless, we are still working on our new template which will also display more information.
Regards
Very good !
I’ve been with these guys for several months now and am underwhelmed by their service. Case in point: the website has been down the entire morning since around 8am CST. Their main website is down too (vpsvibe.com). The WHOIS information has bogus contact information.
My sites go down an average of every month or month and a half. Every time I write them, they’re very polite and always seem to have a valid excuse but it just keeps on happening. Today’s outage is particularly alarming: I’ve heard of low-budget providers just packing up their stuff and leaving – is this what’s happening now?
yes.
