Mat from vpsMachine emailed me their special offer to LowEndBox users. Use promo code LEB02 to get 75% off recurring discount on their EU VPS products. Use this link to order their “VPS-M1” product in EU (note: promo code does not work for the same package in UK servers), and it comes down to £1.25/month (ex-VAT, ~USD$1.97). It has
- 128MB guaranteed/256MB burstable memory
- 10GB storage
- 100GB/month data transfer
- OpenVZ/SolusVM
Actually it is the same offer on their specials page so you can follow the instruction there. Only 10 units at this discount. Servers are in Germany with NaturEnergie AG according to this blog post. vpsMachine has its domain registered in 2009, however Mat also owns Line3 Internet which has been around since 2005 as registered business in UK.

One Step at a Time: Interview with M'barek Dhibi, CEO and Founder of Pawnhoster, Plus a Deal for You...
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 servers are @ Hetzner – NaturEnergie AG is just a power company 🙂
Hetzner uses NaturEnergie as their power source ~ “Green Energy”
http://www.hetzner.de/en/hosting/unternehmen/umweltschutz
“From the 1st January 2008 Hetzner Online will exclusively be using renewable energy sources to power the severs in its data centers. Our environmental partner is TÜV-certified NaturEnergie AG, who generates green energy from 100 percent carbon dioxide-free and environmentally-friendly hydropower. “

Hi Mat,
I think you can give just one reply to stated that you support paypal now.
You should really use paypal. Most of the people use PayPal for online shopping.
ya I would have bought 2-3 days ago but I’m not going to risk my credit card info
get PayPal!
wondering why they have no paypal account for their business
linode, slicehost, hetzner, etc.. Also don’t offer paypal payment, I guess it’s the fee.

Seems to be sold out
Hi vRozenSch00n
Thanks for your comments. we have made a limited number of additional servers available at the 75% Discount point because it seems that quite a few readers of LEB much prefer to use Paypal and so missed out on the promotion.
Please remember to choose an EU based server.
thanks again.
