The Founder at LowEndBox
The original owner of LowEndBox known as LowEndAdmin or LEA for short founded LowEndBox in 2008 and created the concept of hosting applications on low resource Low End Boxes. After creating the roots of the community that we know today, LEA stepped aside and allowed others to carry the torch forward.

Their network’s great here. But I’m worried if they’re overselling their XEN nodes like their OpenVZ nodes. Will have a try.
新年快乐！ Happy new year to you all!
You can not over sell Xen resource since everything is guarantee to you. Our disk speed sits around 200-300MB/sec depending on your plan you will have higher priority
you can easily oversell xen…
Jim, I’m already a customer and I want to hire another server (now with discount) but when I enter the coupom code (in URL) the price stays the same.
Is it valid only for new customers?
Nope, this round of coupons works for current clients as well.
Thank you Jim.
Got another server from you. :)
Could you please do these two wget tests for me? On your XEN node. I want to know more about your network.
wget http://cachefly.cachefly.net/100mb.test -O /dev/null
wget http://speedtest.dal01.softlayer.com/downloads/test100.zip -O /dev/null
I’ve just cancelled my previous order without discount and ordered a new one. Received my service detail but still can’t boot by the time. Waiting…
Did you open a ticket yet? If not, please do so and I’ll have someone look into it.
I thought this is normal. But according to your reply, it seems not… I’ll open a ticket.
No Annual Payment on The windows plans… -.-
Sorry, just added them :)
Well i paid monthly now but server wont boot VNC Console Shows
“A disk Read Error Occurred”
See Pic…
http://oi52.tinypic.com/fwlpia.jpg
Did you try logging into the Windows VPS before the creation was done?
No The email said its already up and i should change the Password A.S.A.P so tryed to connect..no luck ..check then vnc console to see whats wrong and got throws at this seems the server was not sucessful to boot at all…
Seems The OS-Reinstall worked i See now a Win 2k3 Data center Edition Login screen =)
Just bought this for test.
The windows vps only has 6gb disk space (1.6gb free)?
Looks like there was a hiccup with your VPS creation, could you open a ticket so we could look at it?
My VPS was moved and it seemed to be fine now (total 15gb… 11gb free).
Now if i could only maintain a stable vnc/rdp connection (keeps freezing after few mins), it would be perfect :-/
Same here and i thought its my line but now i know its not my fault…
Well My disk is 14.9 GB in Size but already 4 Gb are in use but this is mainly teh windows dir so thats ok…
also for some unknown reason i lose connection to the server and i have to reconnect….
OOB Speed Test ist Far away from 100 Mbits,,,
http://www.speedtest.net/result/1140405655.png
i think we (and new customers) might’ve been doing those tests at the same time, i’ll check it again next week :)
Cachefly SPeed test SHows 8 Mbit network speed still no 100 but 8 mbit is also ok =)
Wow that sucks its not even near 10 mbps :–)
this is more good speed than me
i only get 1mbps
Yeah these guys suck for connectivity speeds. Check out my posts on the last YardVPS ‘deal’.
Yard arn’t responding to me after a payment was taken after I terminated the service – not responding to emails so I’ve raised a paypal dispute.
I’d seriously avoid these cowboys
We’ve responded to all tickets within 24 hours, please let me know your ticket number and I’ll look into it.
新年快乐！兔年吉祥！
Happy New year!
Happy the Year of the Rabbit!
Oh yes by the way, happy new year! :)
新年快乐！
One question, can I get Windows 2008 instead of Windows 2003?
You wouldn’t be able to fit 2008 in 15GB of space. Even if you can you wouldn’t be able to install anything on it.
Am already using it with another provider. Works for me.
Windows 2003 Server License cost = Zero
Windows 2008 Server License cost = $$$$
Oh, I didn’t knew that. Thanks for the info Adam.
You could get a Win 2008 license free From websitespark :)
thnak you. about “xinniankuaile” lol:
新年快乐！
Im a penguin lover (I also walk like a penguin).
LeA I don’t think you should post WIndows offers, can’t say Windows is “low-end”, or actually useful for a server :).
For those who love challenges I guess. Running Windows 2003 on 512MB running IIS and a few sites might be even harder than running Linux on 256MB.
No, it will be EXTREMELY harder then running Linux on a 64MB VPS. The VPS your LowEndBox.com can probably run more dynamic sites then Windows with 512MB RAM,
If you run linux with apache and mysql on 256 MBIT its Hard to run yes also if yiu try to run IIS with win2k3 on 512 mb but if you know the tricks it works like a charm e.g Nginx for windows instead of IIS
ok mysql would bhe still a problem but some light website would run…
Sorry Jim, but Linux with Apache on a 256MB VPS is super easy to run, this blog runs on 64MB of RAM.
NGINX on Windows does deceive the point. I got a 512MB VPS here running Windows. I just installed IIS, I now have 30MB of RAM to play with, on Linux with 256MB ram VPS I would get around 200MB of RAM to play with at least.
Well install nginx kill unneeded services und have some more ram to play with
I disagree.
IMHO all VPSs should be considered, hopefully over time we’ll get more ram/resources for the same or lower price (as the cost of RAM/resources becomes cheaper).
It’s also good for learning about Windows administration and testing.
But Windows sucks for servers :),
I would normally agree with you but it has its uses. E.g It’s good for .Net, Mono on Linux is not as mature..yet. Also Active Directory, etc.
It’s good for learning and running windows-only software.
I dont think people expect to run twitter/facebook/youtube type websites on these “Low End” boxes.
Who says you cant :)
Too bad that peering sucks, I got a single jump from EU-US 36ms-195ms, transit provider is unheard for me “savvis”? If VNC is kinda painful to use starting 150ms, 195ms is surely going to be a real pain even for rdc.
Add me on the order list if you will such offer on the east coast or eu.
I’ve seen Savvis before: they’re one of the Tier 1 providers from .
Link was eaten. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tier_1_network#List_of_tier_1_networks
RDP does some cheating to make it “slightly” perform better then VNC. Naughty Microsoft.

After changing some stuff in windows i get this results
http://www.speedtest.net/result/1140818177.png
i make another speed test tomorrow
when you do a speedtest – before it even starts, just quickly click start then minimize the browser on remote desktop then minimize the remote desktop window itself, wait 5 minutes then check
Ok, i can access it by rdp. The ping is 333ms… I don’t know what can i do with this but I will give an opportunity

Same here, I want to have some XEN/Linux IP to have a test too. :)

1. is it possible to install “.net framework 2.0”
on the windows 2003.
2. how can I connect to windows 2003? by using remote
desktop ? or some other tool?
Yes, .NET 2.0 is supported in Windows Server 2003. It was originally developed for the XP/2003 Platform.
Hello all
i made another Speedtest now its Noon in the usa and the results are in
http://www.speedtest.net/result/1141189036.png
3ms? WHERE? HOW? jaja, well i’ll try to use it like one bakcend with less priority… or something like that…
Do know providers of cheap windows vps servers in Europe? Thanks
its from the windows vps i chossed a test server in LA where the dc Is Based so 3 ms is not surprising
Ok i just checked my vps and i have to confess that the node is down and my vps too…
if it wont went up by Tommorow i gonna start to make trouble via paypal since i bought the vps yesterday
damn Wrong Window Nevermind The above wrinting
-.-
Their SLA of 99.9% uptime is broken now. Wait to see their explanation.
How is it broken? Do you have a ticket I could look at?
the down posting from my side was not intend for this Thread i writed in the wrong window and not able to delete it
so please disregard it
thanks
I just signed up and my VPS isn’t working, logging into the control panel and using the VNC it was having a disk error, so I went to re-install the OS. I came back a few minutes later and the SolusVM server/control panel is now down too. I can’t access anything.
Not impressed.
The server and control panel are working again.
Just wanted to add some more comments.
I couldn’t access my VPS through remote desktop. I had to use the VNC through SolusVM instead which is why it was so hard to deal with SolusVM being down.
Now I know why. My server isn’t directly connected to the internet. It doesn’t have an IP address, I can only access it by going through the SolusVM control panel VNC.
When I try to get an IP address, it times out.
So I have a VPS that isn’t directly connected to the internet.
Not impressed.
Set The Ip Manualy with the data from the Solusvm you find the data in the “ip-Adress” page
i did the same and it works fine =)
Could you open a ticket? It’s probably a VPS creation error.
We’re getting a lot of orders during this special promo; these batches of orders are occuring where 5-10VPS comes within 5 minutes or less that can cause creation errors. I advise everyone open a ticket if there is a creation / VPS error. We’re almost sold out so seems a lot of people are impressed
I did submit a ticket a short while ago and got no reply.
My VPS is also online and grabbing an IP now. I got a message from Windows saying:
“Error, there is a duplicate name on the network”
and then it started working.
I’ve closed the ticket now.
Change windows computer name… that error is related to that.
you have to change the computername and workgroup to get rid of the “duplicate name ” dialog

Where is My VPS..i Have been order but still pending….it’s not instant setup..
thanks
Currently there’s an issue with the instant setup due to multiple orders being processed simultaneously. We have to go back and and manually recreate the ones the system failed to create. I do apologize for this delay.
Do you have 64 bit Windows?
We do not offer Windows 64 at YardVPS, however this OS is available at PhotonVPS.
May I know when would the grass 1 package be available again? It is currently out of stock…
Thanks!
All of them seem out of stock :( I hope this is only temporary as I was wishing to get another VPS from them regardless.
These plans are currently sold out for the time being.
LOL, too bad, was really thinking of taking up this offer….
Would you guys allow the use of this coupon code when the stock is back?
Anyone on node “brown”? It was all fine yesterday and today it keeps going down. It would be up for less than 10mins and goes down for good. Right now it’s down, and like the fourth time it restarted today.
Jim, I’ve submitted ticket #NSL-766850 hours ago and no one seems to be looking at it. Just for reference. Thanks.
There was a slight issue with brown and it’s already being looked at.
slight issue? Can not access 24 hours is slight issue?
The node issue has been resolved and all VPS have been brought online. This could be an issue with your VPS only, please contact our support for further assistance.
I am on brown too :(
Not at YardVPS at this time.
Don’t Buy From YardVPS…Very longtime support…No want to Refund…Just take my money jim…
Use their services for long time and their support is really fast.
As listed on our website we do not offer refunds. All support tickets have been processed are processed within 24 hours, keep in mind our services are unmanaged.
Hello
I bought a server from you
Plan Your First Site
The 15 GB hard drive, but instead was only 6 GB
My server is down two days
Support is also very weak
Please make my server run faster
Thank you
the problem was solved
Seems the 3 day sale was cut short :((( All plans show as “out of stock”
First three days of new a Chinese new year are the most important festival days for Chinese. :)
They’re out of stock till next week, I’ve asked the support team.
Still waiting for new stock :(
Same……. hoping the new stock will come in soooon!!
We’re waiting for additional hardware to come in, all our vendors seem to be sold out of the parts we need for these nodes :(
Any updates on when these nodes might be available? I am eagerly awaiting a Leaf4 or Tree2 node to become available in LA.
Out of stock.
:(
Yeah, waiting for new stock. Can’t wait.
out of stock!!!!please restock!!!!
Stay away from photonvps , these people have very poor support ,
i have requested refund but no responce so far from them
They advertise this on their order page and on their website that there is no support other than hardware issues
PhotonVPS, the brand little mentions, is listed as being semi-managed though:
http://www.photonvps.com/managed.html
YardVPS is listed as being unmanaged:
http://www.yardvps.com/
But I agree with the poor support statement.
Little, up above they mention that they don’t offer refunds.
This kept me from buying one from yardVPS, but thats just me
We have a no refund policy as listed no our website and TOS which you have to agree upon when signing up for our services.
On another note, more stock is available minus LEAF plans which we’re waiting for full IPv6 implementation as we’re no longer offering IPv4 for LEAF plans.
All servers and the main site YardVps.com is down :(
I hope all will be well soon!
They had network maintenance, I think…
ps. site is up for me…
That’s correct, we had a scheduled maintenance.
I do have a vps with yard for like 3 months, i also have more vps servers with other hosting companies but my favorite vps is from yard, i love them to be honest, very cheap and reliable service, chat support is always online. If you are looking to buy a vps you should rent it from here. I just love this awesome service.
Thanks for the feedback :)
So, when are you going to advertise some new vps here on LEB?
By the way, nice redesign of the website
I sent a 2-3 coupons but LEA never posted them =/
Oh, care to share here or LET?
No active ones due to network maintenance during the past two weeks. We’ll post here or LET once we get it all straighten out :)
Ok, I will be waiting for that (new coupons)
Asim, you would be happier with another host. You may want to review the previous threads. They has some major customer service problems, Jim especially.
You didn’t close your account which is why you received email notifications from us.
Thanks for the warning @DrMike, I really appreciate the time you took to post this
And they up to 16 BBB complaints now.
You know any large companies without any BBB complaints? Do they have like zero customers or what?
BBB is a mediator and we use them to help resolve complaints from our customers. Please note we pay them an annual fee just for this service and this service does not come cheap.
Hello friends.
Again I’m here to give my freedback on another hosting company, today will speak of yardvps.
I had a client who needed Windows, I currently work with Securedspeed, UBservers, and others, but they do not have Windows Host, so I had to do a search on windows VPS host, and found the yardvps.
I read the description of services, then, as my client was in a hurry to get your account, because they prefer to be informed instant setup, see in the image below:
http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-I1Bn6Cbmh-Q/T-yD8yZrjvI/AAAAAAAAAGg/rKU5yQlcmn4/s754/instant.JPG
So I made the purchase with them, waited 30 minutes and not getting the VPS, I contacted the chat, they said the delay was due to Paypal account verification (anti fraud), we found my account in the chat, and confirm my Paypal account, I thought I would get the VPS after that, but Ron chat attendant told me I would have to wait another 1-2 hours due to the configuration of VPS.
But it is not instant? Why wait this time? It would be false advertisement?
Below my conversation with them, look and give your opinion I’m still waiting for the VPS account with them, two hours have passed so far.

Hello custumer. How may I help you?
me
hi friend
I made the payment he was confirmed but not yet get my VPS, the instant setup?
Ron
Please allow 1-3 hours for VPS setup as we manually process orders due to recent increase of internet fraud.
me
So why do you say it’s instant setup in the ad?
Ron
It is instant setup.
If your order is fraud, it will not be instant setup
me
I’m in a hurry and it was instant VPS setup that I hire your service
Ron
Sorry if your order triggers fraud alert, it can take longer to verify
me
Then you can return and cancel the purchase? I actually got in a hurry to get the VPS
Ron
PLease submit a ticket to support@yardvps.com if you want to cancel your order
me
This is false advertising, you should say about the period of check fraud in the notice
Ron
Orders that pass fraud check are setup instantly
me
I want immediately, as I said, I hurry, I can not waste time sending ticket, you want to talk to my lawyer about false advertising? Simply reimburse the amount by Paypal I hire service instant real
Ron
If your order doesn’t pass fraud check, we check it until its verified
me
Why did not you warn about fraud prevention within the description of your service?
Ron
If you are not fraud ,you should not have to worry about your order being delayed
Only fraud orders are delayed
Orders that are not fraud are setup instantly
me
You do not understand
I work as a reseller VPS here in Brazil, I have a client in need of VPS as soon as possible
Ron
If you want to cancel, please email support@yardvps.com and we will cancel your order
me
How can I confirm my account as soon as possible?
Ron
Sorry I don’t have access to billing or support.
I am just sales
me
How can I confirm my account as soon as possible?
Ron
You can email support@yardvps.com and they will assist you
me
I still have to wait for the response of the ticket? You think it’s cool fool customers with instant setup?
Ron
If you are a reseller and you want to remove the fraud option, please notify the billing department and we will make sure to process your ordres with high priority
me
I’ll wait 1-3 hours, but make sure that if I did not get my VPS to this term, I will send your advertisement to my lawyer and will sue you for false advertising, I see that it is not instant setup needs to be checked by Paypal, you should say so in the service description
Ron
If your order triggers a fraud alert, we have full right to check your order.
If you want to go to your lawyer, you are welcome to do that.
me
I work with securedspeed, UBservers, VPScheap and never had these problems, just chose you because of Windows, but I’m regretting
Ron
As I stated above, when an order triggers a fraud alert, we have to investigate.
me
You should have an automated fraud prevention, that is right for one company
Ron
If we approve every order, it can lead to spam and abuse on the n etwork
I don’t have access to billing or support, so I am not sure why your order is taking that long.
me
Yes, and you can prove that the fraud alert? How can you prove it?
Do you want a print of my account? Address?
Ron
I never said your order triggered a fraud alert.
I am saying the delay is usually related to fraud alert
The delay only takes place when the order comes in that is considered risky
When its deemed risky, we investigate at our end before we process it.
We are not going to risk our whole network by allowing a fraud order to get through and spam using our IP’s.
If you have any questions or comments about your order, please contact support@yardvps.com
If you are a reseller with a lot of VPS, the billing department will make sure your orders don’t go through fraud check each time.
They will set it up so your orders are processed right away.
me
His message came to my spam box, I think you’re doing it wrong, or are trying to fool me
And because you do not have an automated fraud prevention system and other companies that work?
Ron
What message went to your spam box?
me
So why do you say it’s instant VPS for new customers? Why do not you talk about the time of verification in the ad? You know you can be sued for it does not know? false advertising
Your welcome message came to my spam box
Ron
It is instant if your order doesn’t trigger a fraud alert
me
Yes, and the reason for the alert? Can you prove it?
Ron
Not everyone is fraud, so they get their VPS instantly
Do you have your VPS now? YES OR NO?
me
Still not got your VPS
In moment no
Ron
Let me ask billing department.
Please hold
me

I really have priority over this account
Can I send you here if you need documents

to expedite your check
Ron

[removed securit reason]
Ron
Thanks
I am still waiting to hear back from the billing department.
me
Will it take long?
Ron
I am being told the order should be created automatically
Onces it’s ready you will be notified
You can check it at https://ww…om/billing/clientarea.php
me
has not yet come to me
Ron
When did you place the order?
1-2 hours ago?
me
Registration Date: 06/28/2012
Product/Service: Grass – Grass 1
Domain: test.criarsiteweb.info
Operating System: Windows 2003 32bit
Payment Method: PayPal
First Payment Amount: $8.95 USD
Recurring Amount: $8.95 USD
Next Due Date: 07/28/2012
Billing Cycle: Monthly
Status: Pending
About 30 minutes ago
Ron
Our VPS takes about 1-2 hours to come online.
There is a queue
me
I see
Ron
The setup process to copy and setup vps takes some time
They are not done in 5 minutes
The OS installation alone takes some time
If you placed order 30 minutes ago, you need to wait
The VPS is probably in build mode and once it’s ready the system will notify you
me
So why do you say instant setup?
Why not report on this term in the ad?
Ron
If you want to cancel, please submit a ticket to our support department and we will stop the setup process.
Instant means once the order comes in, the system starts working on it
me
You affect me with this delay, I bought thinking it was time to give myself and now I see it’s false propaganda
Ron
We manage close to 15,000 IP’s and you are the first person who is confused about instant
me
I will not cancel
Ron
Instant doesn’t mean 5 minutes
It’s impossible to install OS in 5 minutes
If you are able to do it in few minutes, please let us know. You can email us at support@yardvps.com and we would love to know if you can install the OS in few minutes.
Plus we do test to make sure VPS is setup properly.
We get 1000+ orders per day
The system will not create them all at once. The reason because it can lead to data corruption.
Therefore, they are created in a blocks automatically.
Again if you are not happy, please submit a ticket and we will cancel your vps.
me
I’m confused because buying and reviewing VPS Securedspeed, VPSCheap, UBservers and more, and they say give me time and delivery
I will not cancel the VPS, because I can use it for another client
Ron
Our VPS are instant. The setup range from 15 min – few hours.
me
I’m just saying that instant setup is instant setup, you know they can be prosecuted for this, first you said it was checking Paypal, and now you say it
Ron
It all depends on how many orders we have
If you want to file a lawsuit, please do so.
We have been in business for years and there is nothing false.
This is how our system is setup and it is fully automated.
me
You say it’s instant when it is not fake?
Ron
Maybe the companies you use are small and they don’t get many orders so they are able to create vps right away.
We get 1000+ orders per day and the system does it’s best to create them autoamtically right away without making mistakes
me
Yes, they may be small, but they do what they say
Ron
They do it because they don’t have many orders
If 1 order comes in, the vps will be only in 15 minutes
me
I have no interest in order to know how many you have, just wanted to get the VPS described in the notice within
Ron
Like I said daily we are getting around 1000+ orders
per day
me
I have no interest in order to know how many you have, just wanted to get the VPS described in the notice within
Ron
It’s because you are implying we are doing false advertising.
me
For just bought because he said he gave instant, but that’s okay, I leave this for another client VPS
Ron
Like I said, if you are not happy just cancel your order.
We will cancel it right away
We have 1000+ happy clients and we offer the best prices possible on the net.
me
You say it’s instant and do not deliver instant is not fake? This is what then? You just said it takes 1 to 2 hours
Ron
Can you create a vps in few minutes?
Do you know what instant means in the world of VPS?
me
As I said before, no need to cancel, and I will not sue you because I will not waste my time with it, I will just tell the web hosting sites on their propaganda only this
Ron
No please do sue
me
I work with other companies and they deliver in instant
Ron
I just told you they are small
They don’t have any orders so yes they are able to do it right away
me
that’s what I’m talking about if you take a few hours because they put instant setup on your ad?
Ron
No VPS OS will create 100+ vps at the same time
It is instant. If we don’t have any pending order, your VPS will be only in 15-30 minutes
me
So why do not you say in your ad?
Ron
Should I ask billing to cancel your order?
me
What is instant VPS for you?
Ron
I am trying my best to explain it to you but you are trying to argue with me.
Our setup process is instant.
When the order comes in, the system does checks and places it in queue
Afterwards, the main node goes through the queue and create the vps and sends welcome email automatically
There are no humans involved in this process.
me
No problem friend, it’s all OK, I’ll leave this VPS for my other client, and I will buy another in a really small company to get instant
I will wait
Ron
Thank you for your chat. Feel free to contact us again.
Ron has closed the chat.
Start the chat again
Hello
See me in the Chat blocked, it seems they want me to steal my money without delivering the VPS:
http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-QIDetEyrJmE/T-yNk47lIFI/AAAAAAAAAG0/qdxLZ3Dx-Ws/s912/chat.JPG
If you spent more than two hours after confirmation of payment and fraud prevention Paypal and still not get my VPS.
I hope that they are become rich and make good take advantage of my $ 9, I’ll tell the world about the horrible company and that the cheater is yardvps.com.
If I open a dispute on Paypal will lose because Paypal does not refund money from virtual goods.
