One guarantee in life is that things change! Unfortunately I longer have need of affordable low end dedicated servers, so I am putting this database into read-only mode from now on. It hasn't been updated since 2011 anyway, but to be honest if you want a low end dedi nowadays, simply go Kimsufi now they're letting you have Intel Core 2 Duo's for a crazy €15/month. No one can beat that really.

When the lowenddedi.net domain comes to expire, I'll let the site slip into the after-life.

Thanks for the support and interest! Good luck!

I have done two things, and thanks to those of you who persistently emailed me to fix them! Firstly I have fixed the broken AJAX currency converter which spontaneously stopped working - this is because the hardcoded Google server from which the script was pulling the exchange rates suddenly vanished, so I simply updated the IP.

Secondly I have updated the substantial price reduction which OVH have applied to their bottom model Kimsufi where they dropped from €25/month to €15/month. This is very good value for money, so much so that you have to wonder what all their fuss was last year when they raised that product's price from €20 to €25 citing permanently rising costs. However it raises to a yawning gap between that single core Celeron for €15 and the next model up, a quad core Intel Core 2 for €40/month. As I've said for the umpteenth time now, there really needs to be a dual core in there at about €25/month.

Since the last update, low end dedicated servers have just got better and better. I have two very low priced Atom servers in Europe coming shortly to the database which make sense of why OVH had to so dramatically drop their price - and yes, you can get a central European located Intel Atom 220 for €20/month and an Intel Atom 330 for just €25/month! But I'll leave the full reviews till when I get round to them which should be in the next few days.

I think we're now good to go - lowendbox.com have put up a news post about this site which is very nice of them. I think I have corrected all outstanding issues regarding the custom data types in the server database plus any CSS theming issues. In the end, this site's theme is basically the Plone default plus CSS3 roundy corners and justified text - hardly like what I did to www.deepereconomics.org which is major heart surgery by comparison.

I added a fairly lengthy review of OVH's Real Private Server based on my own very detailed benchmarking results. It really is an idea with outstanding potential, but its too ahead of its time. I hope though that this OVH RPS review will help fill a major gap in objective information about OVH's RPS where most criticism tends to be really inflammatory to the point of not being helpful.

I also added a high end VPS from the used-to-be-reputable provider formerly known as VAServ. I personally think that overselling has its place - after all, almost all telecommunications infrastructure is based on overselling - but it is very true that most OpenVZ VPSs don't have their overselling actively managed and that makes the user experience a bit too unpredictable for my liking.

Lastly, I have captchaed the registration form as bots were having fun creating spam accounts.

Anyway, I hope that ye find the site useful. Feel free to leave a comment if you did.

This is one of those things which I have been meaning to do for ages but never quite got round to. I am hoping to emulate some of the success of lowendbox.com which is so useful for reviewing low end VPSs but for low end dedicated servers. Sure, it's an incredibly niche market, but I personally find it very useful.

We open the site with three of the most reputable providers of low end dedicated servers:

1. Core Networks
2. Interserver
3. OVH

You will almost certainly find a lot of people rubbishing these guys on the web, but then they expect far more for the price than they should. For €35/month you should expect no more than to be happy each and every time you find your server still running. If you want more than that, go pay €250/month like anyone else.

Anyway, I look forward to seeing what comments and submissions come in. Welcome to the site!
