YourVZ - $13.50/Year 128MB OpenVZ VPS in Scranton

Oct 04, 2011 @ 12:49 pm

Justin from YourVZ actually emailed me their “Rugby World Cup 2011” promo code last week, which is also posted on WHT here. Use promo code RWC2011 to get 10% off recurring discount on all their “Silver” and “Gold” VPS plans. Silver 128 is $13.50/year after the discount, and here is the direct sign up link. You get

128MB guaranteed/256MB burstable memory
10GB storage
200GB/month data transfer on 1Gbps
1 vCPU at 1GHz
OpenVZ/SolusVM

PayPal-only, and servers with HostNOC/BurstNet in Scranton PA (test IP: 184.22.204.211). See their previous offer for comments and discussions. YourVZ is run by Justin from South Africa, who was the winner of last Rugby World Cup in 2007, beating England 15-6 (garrhhh hates Wilkinson’s drop kicks). Who will win this year’s RWC is yet to be seen — South Africa again? The All Blacks? (Will we get discount from QuickWeb if that’s the case?) The English? (Cheap UK servers please!)

LowEndBoxTV: Is Your VPS or Web Hosting OVERSOLD? 🤔 How to Check!

LEA

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.

  Sorry it’s fixed. Seems to be the Internet trend these days — I write it (while I’m half-awake) and you guys proof read it 🙂

  I was starting to worry that the World Cup was going to be gone before the word got out.

  Nobody like the Frogs as you never know what team is pitching on the day?
  Some days you will have a team that will beat almost any team in the world and others you will be playing an emotional wreck that wants to eat you alive but can’t compose themselves to take a bite.

    @LEA & Ville
    I’m not sure if SA will be able to do it tomorrow as we have lost against AUS the last five times we played them, but the again it’s World Cup and Cooper + Pressure work great together.
    To be honest If SA don’t make it I will be pitting my All Black jersey on. I lived there for two years and have developed a soft spot for the Kiwi’s, hell my daughter was born there and if that went better I probably would still be there and watching it Live.
