Web Wide Hosting in New Zealand has overtaken ServerWays, and is now offering exactly the same VPS packages from $4.90 per month. Order them here as I can’t seem to find them on their home page. There are actually two plans that fit into my criteria (maximum $7/month):
- VPS 111 — $4.90/month
- 100MB memory (guaranteed/burstable)
- 100Mhz limit on CPU
- 10GB storage
- 100GB transfer per month
- VPS 222 — $6.90/month
- 200MB memory (guaranteed/burstable)
- 200Mhz limit on CPU
- 20GB storage
- 200GB transfer per month
Portland DC. OpenVZ.

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 nabbed myself the $4.90 plan last night, and it’s quite an interesting little VPS.
By ‘100MHz’ they seem to mean ‘Dual Core 58MHz’, might want to watch out for that.
Definitely not a bad little server, in my opinion
I’d heavily recommend against CentOS on this one, the system image is huge and it’s probably the most memory hungry. I use debian myself.
With Debian, the memory is a little tight for using dselect, I had OOM with it during the install phase. You can find all the package names and such on the packages section of the debian website and use apt-get to install them. Ran some small Python scripts, wasn’t too shabby. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a cheap/tiny VPS.
@kremlin — CPU limit is something I’ll be hesitated to sign up with them. It is not a minimum guarantee but rather a hard ceiling that you will never be able to get more than 100Mhz of CPU time.
I guess if burstable CPU time is not required then this host provides great value for your money.
