LowEndBox - Cheap VPS, Hosting and Dedicated Server Deals

About

About LowEndBox - the best source for cheap vps

Affordable hosting. Powerful possibilities. Since 2008.

Some people spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars per month on dedicated servers loaded with multi-core CPUs, vast amounts of memory, and massive disk arrays. Others—like many of us—just need something simple, reliable, and affordable. Maybe you’ve got a small project, a personal website, or just want to experiment with Linux and self-hosting. You don’t need the biggest, you just need a low end box that gets the job done.

That’s where LowEndBox comes in.

Founded in 2008, LowEndBox was created with a mission to make hosting accessible, affordable, and transparent. At a time when the hosting world was dominated by expensive control panels, vendor lock-in, and bloated platforms, we proved that with the right provider and a bit of technical know-how, you can run a full-featured server for just a few dollars a month.

We specialize in publishing the best low-cost hosting deals available from trustworthy independent providers. Many of the plans we feature offer full root access for as little as $1/month. While these boxes may be limited in CPU, RAM, disk space, or bandwidth, they can still be incredibly effective workhorses, especially when tuned properly. We have saved our users millions of dollars by connecting shoppers with hosting companies providing Cheap VPS, Windows VPS, Dedicated Servers, VPN and Web Hosting.

Frequently Asked Questions (For Hosting Providers)

The summary below is intended primarily for hosting providers. For more in-depth information, please refer to our Full FAQ Guide.

Q. What offers can be listed on LowEndBox? What is your listing criteria?

We post offers for VPS services, dedicated servers, domains, shared hosting and VPN services:

  • Featured listings are always free
  • Service specific criteria is available for view on our submit an offer page.
  • We will not list offers that only have yearly billing option, if the provider is under 1 year old.
  • We will only list one offer per provider per 30 days.
  • Providers under 12 months old need to display valid public WHOIS information on their domain.

Q. I am a VPS hosting provider. How do I get my offers posted?

We’re always happy to hear from providers. To submit your offer, please open a ticket via our Help Desk and include the following information:

Required Submission Details:

  • Plan specs: RAM, storage, bandwidth, CPU, port speed, etc.
  • Virtualization type (e.g., KVM, OpenVZ, Xen, VMware)
  • Server location(s) and data center details (test IPs and files are encouraged)

Q. Why wasn’t my offer listed? Why haven’t you responded?

If you are sending us your latest VPS offers, please check whether you have met the listing criteria. Especially if we have already previously written about your offer over the last 30 days. Common reasons why you don’t get listed:

  • You submitted your last offer less than 30 days after your prior offer was featured here.
  • Your web hosting “business” is full of issues. Incomplete website, dodgy domain registration details, cryptic terms of services, using nulled software, etc. Make sure you have those issues fixed before submission.
  • You are less than 12 months in the industry and are using private WHOIS.

We aim to respond to every valid submission. If your listing meets our criteria and hasn’t been featured within a reasonable timeframe, feel free to follow up.

Q. What templates should I use when submitting an offer?

We offer easy-to-use templates for each type of offer. Using these ensures your submission is complete and clearly understood by our review team:

Quality submissions get priority. The more effort you put in, the more we’ll put into making your post stand out. When you are ready, submit your offer via ticket at our help desk.
