I'm quite familiar with LowEndBox, and I would say my current "Best Value" VPS provider would be Digital Ocean, who I found via HN. I probably can think of at least a dozen with solid reasons to avoid. FYI Digital Ocean's lowest offering is $5/m.

LowEndBox is great for non-mission critical servers. You aren't going to find many top tier providers on there, mostly smaller companies. I got a dedicated box (quad Xeon, 24GB RAM, 500GB) for $49/m.

I would love to get my hands on one of those. What provider did you get it from?

Who's the provider you're renting the box from ?

Why would anyone need to search LowEndBox, when they can get top tier cloud servers from DigitalOcean(which is linked on the original post)? There is absolutely no reason to use providers from LowEndBox with grandma's SolusVM, when you can spin up a server with DO anytime you want and pay by the hour?

And not to mention, how these providers are ddosing and hacking one another regularly.

Not all providers there are bad; BuyVM is one that has treated me excellently
