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.
Have been using ZenSix.com’s VPS plans for 6 months now, they have been very helpful on the previous semi-managed package and their endless support whenever you open a ticket with them. Very friendly and very helpful. Plus now having a brand new support community forum it helps you further with you endless questions! ZenSix keep up the good work! Brilliant hosters!
I saw the creation date of ZenSix is 2008-03-15. Their servers are in Kansas City MO with Wholesale Internet. But very few users in the support forum… anyway, $9/year Shared Hosting sounds pretty good.
The support forum is less than a week old, that that’d be why. :)
I’m also eyeing the directadmin shared hosting. I’ve been wanting to try the DA panel for sometime now. :D
@Christopher – And you are a gentleman and a scholar. Thanks!
@everyone else – Most of our servers are in Kansas City, but the server for this special is in New York at turnkeyinternet.com (i7, 12GB RAM, etc). If you *really* need something in Kansas City instead, just open a ticket with sales before you order.
And lowendbox.com, thanks again… Your Google-fu indeed grows stronger with every new post.
great design, but I cant open their site yesterday, today is fine
@subigo – Nice tutorial and support forum you’ve got there. Good VPS torial and support forum will encourage more new web-master and web designer alike to learn and make a good use of VPS. This means more people will definitely buy your package.
Good luck.
