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.
I think “Minecaft server” should be “Minecraft server”.
16 years old and ran a failed company.
Yeah, think I’ll avoid. :)

Ugh, smellysausages@me.com and an invalid phone number. Sounds fishy.
That actually appears to be an issue with name-cheap handling the UK number in US style on their registrant information. If it makes you feel any better I’ve corrected it, you can check.
Oh and I sold the Minecraft Company (ClubMinecraft), which managed over 100 Minecraft Servers, as well at my Minecraft Server platform which just hit the 800 server mark. I don’t see that as a failure.
I’ve left school, so I am fully committed to putting the time and effort into ZazoomVPS. We are not going anywhere anytime soon.
Taking quite a risk putting your mobile number on there too…
Name is very close to http://www.zazoovps.com/
They all related to http://www.hostsign.co.uk/ ?
I actually brought that domain a while ago as a sorta place all my VPS nodes I started buying for ClubMinecraft, however when HostSign took over the domain went with it.
So I am no longer affiliated with the ZazooVPS, ClubMinecraft or HostSign.
He does not own that minecraft host anymore.

virtual piece of…? :)
smaller VPS will be nice :)
Looks like there’s a page of OpenVZ offerings, which goes down to 128MB at $3/month.
If you submit a ticket with the specs you want, I’m sure we can work out a custom plan.
OpenVZ is out of stock at the moment but we plan on having more stock at the end of the week. Also setup is instant on every single order apart from DA and cPanel licenses.
I just bought a vps and according to vnc, looks like the image of the OS didn’t load. And didn’t get any welcome emails. Still some bugs to work out. Good luck with the VPS company!!!! I was thinking of starting one myself, but to run a good one takes some effort =]
What ISO are you using? Some of them installed are beta.
You can see emails via the My Emails section of the client Center, just incase you missed one.
Ahh didn’t know about the my email link! I just clicked on the link to order the vps via the ad. I didn’t know if you meant the user to go to the vps page and mount the OS they wanted or not. If so then i guess it’s working as intended =]
Thanks for the super quick reply!
So does the
“We currently do not allow IRC or IRC bots to be operated on our servers. ”
Mean that we CAN have an irc client?
No IRC altogether, sorry.
Oh well, not for me then.
The servers are not BurstNet LEA, they’re VolumeDrive, same location but different systems.
VolumeDrive rent a room at burst. It’s just easier to say BurstNET because then people get an idea of the network and how good their connection is to it.
Many other providers on this blog that I can say do the same.
Except it’s important to mention it in this case, as volumedrive used to (not sure if it still does) cater towards some shady operations and many of the IPS are blacklisted on different lists.

They appear to have problems with abuse.
So they run VPS on just one disk??
I see no custom option while ordering a server – http://volumedrive.com/dedicated/
Well it is a budget vps adam. What can you expect for $7 dollars?
If you look at it, your notice that when you click configure it goes to a VPS order
http://volumedrive.com/vdrive/?a=dedicated is the correct page.
So what type of RAID are you using – RAID1 or RAID10?
@adam
if there is only one disk, RAID is not possible.

Hello,
That is an old ordering link, on the special link that you can get from volumedrive it allows you to add extra HDD’s including more IP’s, RAM etc.
No thanks. I say within a few months this is going to be sold just like his minecraft business was.
lol give the guy a chance
give him a chance. I love young entrepreneur :)
