Chris from xenSmart emailed me that they have recently launched a new Xen HVM promotion, almost a year since they launched HVM-based products (also seen on WHT). Use promo code HVM30 to get 30% off on their Xen HVM VPS. Their low end Xen HVM plan starts from £3.50/month (~USD$5.79). Direct sign up link.
- 128MB memory
- 10GB storage
- 150GB/month data transfer
- Xen/SolusVM
As it’s Xen HVM which means you can install FreeBSD, NetBSD or OpenSolaris on it. Windows installations do require your own license though. Servers in UK with RapidSwitch (test IP: 95.154.246.177). They are also currently having 40% off their Xen PV plans when you use promo code CLEAROUT40 (via this WHT offer), which makes the equivalent Xen PV plan just £3/month. Well, that’s just about 1 pound cheaper than 2 years ago when they were first listed here.

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.
WoW that is some mean beast to install Windows on.

Good company but very expensive, I would recommend vooservers, similar hosting but cheap :P
+1, am using VooServers too … very reliable
+1 For Voo.
LOL. That was the easter egg of the day from LowEndBox — just like many previous posts that contain deliberate mistakes to make sure you guys are paying attention while reading through the posts here.
Sorry no prize for the first person spotting the mistake.
How about a hug? :P
Cookies! please :P
I used them for 3-4 months. Pretty reliable!
Quite expensive!
Been with them for 10 months now, service has been excellent! Not the cheapest indeed, but it pays back in reliability.
“Not the cheapest indeed, but it pays back in reliability.” The most sensible thing I’ve read in a while!
Actually got my VM for £2.50/mo because of a special “lifetime 50% off” campaign. Not bad at all.
Service seems fast and good, they gave me an IP I could ping to test for latency, and after I signed up I requested they add an .ISO for me, and they did it in 5 minutes.
The control panel system is the best I’ve seen so far, you can use VNC to view the console (e.g. to install a new OS), reboot etc., Change boot order, network card, enable/disable APIC, ACPI, and PAE, mount one of the 100+ ISOs, change hostname, view networking settings, configure reverse DNS, view statistics, etc.
