Confession time: we want to grow our social media presence. Besides the economic reasons, it’s also part of our core mission to educate people who are paying way too much for hosting services. Someone who was paying $6/month for a 1GB VM and can now get a cheap VPS for a third the price is in a better spot than before they met us. That makes us feel good, and of course it makes our advertisers feel very good. It really is a win-win-win situation.
We get some traffic just from people searching, word of mouth, etc. but we are putting a bit more effort into social media. So if you’re on one of these enormous networks, why not give us a follow, like, or view?
We promise: no duck faces, no stenciled eyebrows, and no driver’s seat selfies.
If you’re look for us, find us on:
- X (the disaster formally known as Twitter): Follow us!
- Facebook: Like us!
- YouTube: Watch us!
- Instagram: Gaze at us!
- TikTok: Watch us

Raindog308 is a longtime LowEndTalk community administrator, technical writer, and self-described techno polymath. With deep roots in the *nix world, he has a passion for systems both modern and vintage, ranging from Unix, Perl, Python, and Golang to shell scripting and mainframe-era operating systems like MVS. He’s equally comfortable with relational database systems, having spent years working with Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.
As an avid user of LowEndBox providers, Raindog runs an empire of LEBs, from tiny boxes for VPNs, to mid-sized instances for application hosting, and heavyweight servers for data storage and complex databases. He brings both technical rigor and real-world experience to every piece he writes.
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.
His goal with every article is to help users, from beginners to seasoned sysadmins, get more value, performance, and enjoyment out of their infrastructure.
You can find him daily in the forums at LowEndTalk under the handle @raindog308.
