What the title says. Interestingly I spotted LowEndBox got mentioned on one of the WHT discussion thread here, when someone asked about “reliable reviews of VPS providers”. I have tested out more than a dozen VPS providers over the years and many of them are in the low end range — however many rarely got [...]
Exclusive Deals and Advertisement
Two small changes to this blog today. I have moved the VPSLink exclusive offer to a new page — Low End Exclusive Deals. Also thanks to Matt Hall at Kerplunc.com for offering long running 25% off discount for SuperBytes (when you quote LOWENDBOX at checkout). All the other providers — feel free to send our [...]
Quick Survey – What Do You Use Your $5 VPS For?
June 18, 2009 @ 1:17 am With the recent tragic at LxLabs which pretty much pushed HyperVM out of market, I haven’t seen any new provider advertising low end virtual servers at under $7/month range.

I think a good way to build the community (yes, due to financial crisis and imminent recession, there’s actually a community for running low-end servers) would be [...]
You Get What You Paid For, Sometimes
July 8, 2008 @ 1:38 am One aim for running this website is to find the cheapest root you can find on the Internet (legally, of course :) For me I just want to have my own little box that I can do whatever I want, and install whatever software I want on it. I do not have a big budget [...]
5 Reasons Why You Want a Low End Box
March 20, 2008 @ 12:23 am This site is dedicated to low-end hosting boxes and cheap (and legal :)) way to have your own root account on the net. But why? Why would I want to host my websites on a 64MB $5/month VPS? Here are some reasons: Because you are cheap. You are a starving student who does not have [...]
Hello world!
February 1, 2008 @ 4:48 pm Welcome to LowEndBox.com, a place to discuss running very low end virtual private servers. I will be listing VPS plans that I found on the web that cost less than USD$7 per month, and how to run various services on them.
