Update — 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Update: It appears that the deal is no longer valid.

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.
