LowEndBox

Hosting Websites on Bare Minimum VPS/Dedicated Servers

Dead Pool February 2011 – TheServerExperts, VPS Squad, VPS Royale, etc

Don’t think we can ever have a month without any dead-pool-providers. Here are some from last month. The Server Experts Current Status: IP not resolvable Looks like being in business for 9 years, having a 6 year old domain, being the first fan for LowEndBox on Facebook — these ain’t enough to avoid the dead [...]

Dead Pool January 2011 – Brad’s Hosting, CloudStatic, HostVillage, NWA Bytes

Sorry about the late post on last month’s dead pool list. After a quiet month in December, list of dead providers seem to be picking up again! I did make some changes to my tracker which flags more positives. If size of the content of the website is too small (under 1kb for example), then [...]

Happy New Year everyone! Looks like everyone had a good holiday season, because there isn’t actually any dead provider from the last month of 2010! Well, two actually… SynHost.eu Current Status: Website down SynHost.eu was started by Sebastian back in 2009, who now runs BreatHost. It got sold to Internet Gateway South Beach back in [...]

Dead Pool November 2010 – ConnectSwitch and WebSpaceDepot

Tags: , Date/Time: December 3, 2010 @ 1:08 am

November has been an extremely busy month for me — and thank God that there aren’t too many dead providers this month :) Two oldies have “died” last month, although I have suspected that they might have already gone into coma for quite a while. Here we go. ConnectSwitch Current Status: Redirect to OpenSource Hosting [...]

Dead Pool October 2010 – BlazeVPS, StriveHost and RentaVPS

Tags: , , Date/Time: November 5, 2010 @ 1:12 am

After a big month back in September, we only have 3 dead providers in October. BlazeVPS Current Status: Hard Drive Failure page BlazeVPS raised to “fame” when it first introduced the $10/Year 128MB OpenVZ VPS + promising 4 different locations in US & UK back in July. These guys are getting a lot of attentions, [...]

Dead Pool September 2010

Last month was bad, and I was somewhat hoping this month would be better so I don’t have to spend half a day writing about dead budget providers. With better tracking script in place this month (detection of redirects, cPanel default pages, and posting updates to our wiki etc) we still ended up with quite [...]

Dead Pool August 2010 – DiverseWeb, ErectVPS, HostCadet and More…

Damn. I think I am going to take a while writing up this post. What month was that? August? Or Hosting-company-droping-like-fly month? Here we go… DiverseWeb Current Status: Domain not resolving. DiverseWeb came in to scene back in May with their pre-order of 128MB VMWare virtual servers at 2.5 GBP/month. Who would pre-order a VPS [...]

Dead Pool July 2010 – DataHostDirect, StrategicVPS, VPSRepublic and Zabogo

Here is the compiled list of previously featured low end providers that have detected to be dead. Note that those are only reported if the website is no longer resolving/connecting. In reality the business might have been long dead, in which case feel free to contact me if you like to see them listed on [...]

Dead Pool June 2010

Sorry this Dead Pool monthly feature is a little bit late. I guess it is still better to be late than never. So here is a list of previously featured providers that become no more sometime last month in June 2010. GretzkyHosting Current Status: Domain Parked GretzkyHosting has first graced LowEndBox back in 2008, offering [...]

Dead Pool May 2010

I am now making my dead pool posts a monthly feature, looking at the low end VPS providers that have FAILed this month. It seems to be a really busy month with new’ish players dying left and right. ReVPS ReVPS came into scene in early January, when the domain was first registered. It was selling [...]
