March 27, 2008 @ 7:32 am, by LowEndAdminUpdate — it appears that XPLHost.com is now redirecting to a parking page. FAIL.
Thanks to abjr pointing out this XPLHost special where you can get a low end OpenVZ VPS for $6.36/month (after the 20% off discount). Here is the spec:
- 96MB memory guaranteed
- 7.5GB storage
- 150GB data transfer
- CentOS + HyperVM + LxAdmin
Servers seem to be with The Planet in Dallas. 150GB makes it a small file/media serving box on the cheap.
Update: It appears that the deal is no longer valid.

After creating the roots of the community that we know today, "LEA" stepped aside and allowed others to carry the torch forward.
Hello,
I am the Owner at xplhost.com and i would like to let you know that even tho this special has passed, we are kicking out a new special all the time. Right now we have the same special except 15% off price.
The new special is here:

It’s a semi-managed VPS. So there is less freedom, but also less effort to setup up.
Oh, sorry. Actually the lowest special plan is $7.61 per month now. 7.61 > 7, so maybe I shouldn’t have pasted the link here.
@Ryan — thanks for sharing the 15% off discount although the plan would be outside the cut-off I am using for VPS here.
Looks like the servers are managed although I think for those who are playing around low end Linux/*nix boxes, they’ll probably prefer to have their boxes unmanaged.
