How did you discover lowendspirit and do you have any extra information you would like to add e.g. interests, hobbies etc.
I found LowEndSpirit while searching for more discussion on affordable VPS, especially European providers — it kept coming up when I was looking for forums similar to LowEndTalk. For extra info: I like self-hosting small personal projects, tinkering with Linux, trying out open-source tools, and reading real user reviews before I pick a provider.
Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone. I have been reading through the general threads here and already picked up a few ideas for my small VPS setup. Looking forward to learning more, and to sharing my own test results once my projects are a bit less messy.
Please introduce yourself and tell us why you want to join this forum?
I'm a software developer with a passion for technology, servers, and all things hosting-related. Always on the lookout for a good VPS deal and enjoy exploring different providers and setups. I'm joining LowEndSpirit because I'd love to connect with like-minded people, exchange experiences, share knowledge, learn new things, and hopefully contribute to the community as well. Looking forward to being part of the forum!

Hi, I'm echos. I'm not a provider — I'm a Linux beginner working on my first
self-hosted website, and right now I'm comparing cheap VPS offers. I want to join because
the threads here go deeper than the deal blogs: real benchmarks, actual support experiences,
people who know what they're talking about. I'll mostly be reading and asking questions at
first, and I'll share my own results once I have something worth posting.
English isn't my first language, so apologies in advance for the awkward phrasing.

I found LES through LowEndTalk — someone linked it in a thread about cheap NAT VPS, and the
IPv6/NAT focus is what got me reading.

Do you use em dashes often?
Why not — they look nicer than hyphens.
I asked if yhanwood used em dashes often. I didn't mention whether they are pros or cons, whether they looked nice, or nicer than hyphens, etc.

Hey all, I’m Zach from Orlando, FL. I do production and tech for a church by day and run a small design/IT practice on the side. I've got a home lab going (UGREEN NAS, Docker, reverse proxy, AdGuard, Nextcloud, restic backups) and I’m looking to move some of it off-site onto a cheap VPS or two. Mostly here to learn, find good deals, and not get burned by sketchy providers.

I am a software engineer (until Claude replaces me sometime in the hopefully not near future). I have been on lowendtalk for years. I love deals on low end VPSs. I am excited for black friday and looking to pickup some more VPSs to idle!
The above was 45 words and 244 characters according to wc, and it says "at least 100 characters" -- but it's asking me to type more: "Please write at least 100 characters for "Please introduce yourself and tell us why you want to join this forum?".

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

Its a super sunny day, it feels like years since you felt the sun on your skin and you have been sick of being stuck in the house, you want some air, you notice that your car is really dirty and needs a wash, you usually use the car wash at the end of your street, considering the weather and your general mood, do you walk or drive to the car wash today?
I would drive because the car needs to be at the car wash to get cleaned lol

I am a software engineer (until Claude replaces me sometime in the hopefully not near future). I have been on lowendtalk for years. I love deals on low end VPSs. I am excited for black friday and looking to pickup some more VPSs to idle!

hi! i'm rosa, i'm a trans woman from turkey.
i'm mostly a beginner when it comes to self-hosting n such but i like learning about linux and doing small projects. getting the most out of small cheap vps plans is always good
right now I’m planning to run my personal website and a few VERY tiny discord bots (just for my server) on a vps, using github-pages is lame..
i mostly wanna learn from people’s experience with different providers as i've only ever used netcup and i'm not sure if that's the best option in every situation.
i've heard of lowendspirit a few times before on threads on reddit and i wanted to check it out

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone. I have been reading through the general threads here and already picked up a few ideas for my small VPS setup. Looking forward to learning more, and to sharing my own test results once my projects are a bit less messy.

Hi, I'm echos. I'm not a provider — I'm a Linux beginner working on my first
self-hosted website, and right now I'm comparing cheap VPS offers. I want to join because
the threads here go deeper than the deal blogs: real benchmarks, actual support experiences,
people who know what they're talking about. I'll mostly be reading and asking questions at
first, and I'll share my own results once I have something worth posting.
English isn't my first language, so apologies in advance for the awkward phrasing.

I found LES through LowEndTalk — someone linked it in a thread about cheap NAT VPS, and the
IPv6/NAT focus is what got me reading.

Hey all, I’m Zach from Orlando, FL. I do production and tech for a church by day and run a small design/IT practice on the side. I've got a home lab going (UGREEN NAS, Docker, reverse proxy, AdGuard, Nextcloud, restic backups) and I’m looking to move some of it off-site onto a cheap VPS or two. Mostly here to learn, find good deals, and not get burned by sketchy providers.

Found it through LowEndTalk / LowEndBox while hunting for budget VPS offers. Not a dev by trade, more graphic design and IT background, but I like tinkering with self-hosting, UniFi networking, and AV gear. Also big on video games when I actually get free time.

Hello, I am a hobbyist interested in low-end servers and small VPS hosting. I want to learn how to run lightweight services, share experiences with the community, and eventually try a small container for personal projects.
How did you discover lowendspirit and do you have any extra information you would like to add e.g. interests, hobbies etc.
I discovered LowEndSpirit by searching for low-end VPS communities and reading recommendations on other hosting forums. My interests are self-hosting, Linux, and learning server management as a hobby.

Ant, the numbers should also be randomized. It's not like the question makes any sense in the first place and everyone gets it wrong.
And I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords.
I actually just now switched up the questions to keep the bots on their toes.

I'm really interested in home lab research, and I usually tinker with hardware or software problems at home. Sometimes I run into bottlenecks and need help, or I want to share how I overcame some technical challenges I've encountered. Also, sometimes I need to buy or sell some hardware. I'm particularly interested in working on small AI projects or running a personal blog from home, and I'd like to find people who share that interest. I hope the admin can help me sign up - thanks

Drive to the car wash, then get out and take a walk

Hi, I’m Gabe. I run Makers Help Desk, a small tech and hosting services business out of Pennsylvania. I use budget VPSes for client sites and my own tools, and I want to follow provider news, catch good deals, and learn from people who run small servers.
How did you discover lowendspirit and do you have any extra information you would like to add e.g. interests, hobbies etc.
I found LowEndSpirit through LowEndTalk, where a provider mentioned posting updates on both forums. Outside of servers, I’m into self-hosting, automation, AI tools, and cars. I also host a podcast about the auto detailing industry.

I am a software engineer (until Claude replaces me sometime in the hopefully not near future). I have been on lowendtalk for years. I love deals on low end VPSs. I am excited for black friday and looking to pickup some more VPSs to idle!
The above was 45 words and 244 characters according to wc, and it says "at least 100 characters" -- but it's asking me to type more: "Please write at least 100 characters for "Please introduce yourself and tell us why you want to join this forum?". You wrote 25." Maybe it's at least 100 words? I don't know if I can type that much about myself because, honestly, I'm not that interesting.

Hi everyone, I'm Mehdi, a self-taught developer. I have one small personal server and enjoy learning about VPS hosting, self-hosting and networking. I found LowEndSpirit while looking for budget VPS deals and community giveaways, and I'd love to learn from the community, share what I know, and maybe win a giveaway or two. In my free time I tinker with servers, build small projects and explore new tech.

I didn't know this would end up here. There were a few interesting (or intentional) bugs during sign-up: if you first entered too few characters, it couldn't be corrected afterwards. Another input field appeared, which copied the content for "Please introduce yourself and tell us why you want to join this forum?" and reset the original field back to the too-short text. It took me 3 to 4 attempts. ;D

hi! i'm rosa, i'm a trans woman from turkey.
i'm mostly a beginner when it comes to self-hosting n such but i like learning about linux and doing small projects. getting the most out of small cheap vps plans is always good
right now I’m planning to run my personal website and a few VERY tiny discord bots (just for my server) on a vps, using github-pages is lame..
i mostly wanna learn from people’s experience with different providers as i've only ever used netcup and i'm not sure if that's the best option in every situation.
i've heard of lowendspirit a few times before on threads on reddit and i wanted to check it out
How did you discover lowendspirit and do you have any extra information you would like to add e.g. interests, hobbies etc.
