    I love self-hosting and running services via docker compose up -d on my servers. I'm currently looking for a VPS or dedicated server that fits my needs. With Black Friday coming up, I'm hoping to catch some good deals and promos on the forums.

    Hi, I'm a VPS enthusiast who mainly uses servers in Europe for self-hosted services and networking experiments. I already have an account on LowEndTalk and would like to join LES to discover interesting offers, share experiences, and learn from other members. I especially enjoy finding good value servers and testing different setups.

    I haven’t been active on any forums before, though I’ve often managed to find suitable VPS or VDS options with the help of AI. However, this year—especially since June—I’ve noticed that many VPS/VDS providers are frequently out of stock. Every time I try to make a purchase, I’m just a step too late, and the inventory is already gone. That’s why I’d like to join this forum: to get timely updates on promotions and special offers for VPS and VDS services. I don’t want to keep missing out.

    How did you discover lowendspirit and do you have any extra information you would like to add e.g. interests, hobbies etc.

    I discovered this through a VDS link someone sent me: https://lowendspirit.com/discussion/11524/99-year-dedicated-servers-limited-time-only. I feel that this forum is a great place to find the latest information on deals and promotions—much better than relying on second-hand information shared on X (formerly Twitter).

Outside of work, I enjoy playing around with Linux servers, Docker, and various self-hosted applications. I currently use a few small VPS instances for personal projects and learning.

    I found LowEndSpirit while looking for information about budget VPS and dedicated server providers. Some of the discussions caught my attention, especially the ones about server performance and hosting experiences. In my spare time, I like experimenting with Linux, setting up small services, and working on home lab projects. I've also been learning more about networking, backups, and server monitoring recently. It would be nice to hear what other people are running and share some of my own experiences too.

    If the approval prompt is tied to a one-time onboarding flag or a local state configuration file (often stored in ~/.config/mlx-serve/ or inside your .mlx-serve directory), inspecting those config files or deleting a specific .lock or approved flag file can prevent the prompt from triggering on startup.

    Now I am curious if those NaN in name are Not a number errors, however pretty sure now it will say iDaNaNaM as Not a member :cookie:

    I want to buy VPS from Fourplex, they sell them here. I frequently purchase VPS services. I used to rely on LET, but the provider I’m interested in doesn’t seem to have any promotions running there, so I decided to check things out here instead.

    Hi, I'm from China. My hobby is collecting cheap VPS — I've lost count of how many $7/year boxes I still pay for out of pure laziness.
    What I really enjoy is the network layer: traceroutes, peering, CN2 vs 163 vs
    CMI, looking glasses, and trying to find the least bad path from Shanghai to
    anywhere. I write scripts to auto-test route quality, tweak BBR and tc, and
    generally spend too much time on this.
    I'm here for the deals and for people who discuss routes with data instead of opinions.

    How did you discover lowendspirit and do you have any extra information you would like to add e.g. interests, hobbies etc.

    Found it through the usual chain — googling cheap VPS, hitting LowEndBox, then
    LowEndTalk, then noticing LES. I stayed because the pace here is slower and people
    seem to remember each other's names.

    Beyond VPS, I play a lot of games on overseas servers, and that's what pulled me
    into routing: I rent small boxes near the game servers as relays, since game traffic
    is UDP and cares more about jitter and loss than ping. I run mtr a lot, compare CN2
    GIA vs 163 vs CMI both ways, and test whether an exit really helps or just looks good
    on paper.
    Happy to be here.

    I'm a graduate student in history. Outside of archival and historical research, I self-host a few personal tools and experiment with lightweight applications. Lately, I've been looking into setting up and running self-hosted projects like Hermes for my workflow, which brought me back into tweaking small servers. I'd love to join LES to learn more about reliable low-end VPS setups, exchange notes on frugal hosting, and see how others optimize their small boxes.

    I spend a lot of free time running small self-hosted services at home — Docker containers, a NAS, reverse proxy stuff, uptime alerts, and the usual “why did this break at 2am” projects. Nothing huge, just things I actually use.

    Found LowEndSpirit through a recommendation on LowEndTalk — someone mentioned it in a thread, so I clicked over and had a look around.

    Most of my free time goes into self-hosting and small VPS projects — Linux, Docker, NAS, reverse proxies, monitoring, automation scripts. I’m not a sysadmin by trade, just someone who likes making small services work and figuring out why they randomly stop working.

  • New member: USTC

    Please introduce yourself and tell us why you want to join this forum?

    Hi, I go by USTC. I’ve been tinkering with low-end VPS and self-hosted services for about a couple of years. My main interest is squeezing useful work out of small machines — things like running lightweight Docker services, setting up a WireGuard/SSH gateway, hosting a small Uptime Kuma monitoring stack, and testing minimal Linux distros on 512MB NAT boxes.

    I discovered LowEndSpirit while searching for NAT VPS options and community-driven low-end self-hosting discussions. What drew me here is that LES seems to be a place where people actually care about making the most of minimal resources, rather than just chasing the cheapest annual deal.

    I’d like to join because I want to learn from members who have real experience with low-spec infrastructure, and also share my own small findings when I run into something useful. I’m not here just to grab offers — I’m interested in the discussion and the “make it work with what you have” mindset.

    Outside of servers, I’m into writing small automation scripts, minimal Linux setups, reading sci-fi, and hiking on weekends. Looking forward to participating.

    A friend on LowEndTalk recommended LowEndSpirit to me when I was looking for more focused discussions about NAT VPS, low-RAM machines, and community-driven low-end hosting. I had seen some low-end hosting talk on LET, but my friend pointed me to LES because it’s more centered on actually making small boxes useful rather than just chasing cheap annual deals.

    I’m a programmer specializing in big data development. I mainly work with big data technologies such as [Spark / Flink / Hadoop / data warehouse, etc.], and I’m also interested in distributed systems, server deployment, resource scheduling, cloud services, and performance tuning.

    I’d like to join this forum because it focuses on servers and VPS, which is an area I’m eager to learn more about. I hope to learn from discussions on VPS selection, configuration, operations, networking, security, and cost-effectiveness, and to share my perspective as a big data developer when relevant. More importantly, I’d like to make some friends and exchange knowledge with other members. I’ll respect the community rules and look forward to joining the discussions.

    Thanks for your time!
