So many dirt cheap deals on the LET forums and LEB blog, I have seen lots of interesting opinions about it but mostly from several years ago
ex.
WillieGuestThey definitely had some shady VPS brands in the past, probably still do, but if you’re looking for like $10/year VPS servers then what do you expect?
CarlGuestThey definitely had some shady VPS brands in the past
I remember the drama years back was that several different “providers” were exposed as being front companies for ColoCrossing
Some people probably couldn’t care either way.
JasonGuest@OP depends on what “legit” means 😂
ElizabethGuestI remember the drama years back was that several different “providers” were exposed as being front companies for ColoCrossing
It’s more than that. The founder of ColoCrossing was discovered to be the actual owner of LEB and LET websites, and was shilling his own brands across the sites pretending to be many different providers and essentially promoting CC in a dishonest way.

Some info there, but also some dumbasses who didn’t understand what retargeting was (keep in mind the thread is from 2014).
BeverlyGuestBE CAREFUL!!
many of the free VPS or cheap VPS offers are phishing or just 100% scams, be smart and use good reputation providers
JackGuestNot much changed in 10+ years
BuyVM, Ramnode, ChicagoVPS still popular and random fly-by-night providers appear from time to time to scam people or try to make a new business and fail
2012 said the same–
CatherineGuestLET has some legit good deals from reliable providers, but because of the “other” providers which are like anonymous guys either desperately trying to launch a new company or purposefully trying to scam people by taking their money for annual plans or lifetime deals and then disappearing after that, it has a mixed reputation.
So besides getting scammed the other problem is do you really want to trust your production site with these providers?
The answer should probably be not for most of LET providers.
AmyGuestThat’s why so many hackers and spammers and criminals use LET deals cuz they don’t care about long-term quality.
In fact they prefer random anonymous providers who don’t as questions!
RonaldGuestwhy funnel money into the big corporate companies, or the guys that have gigantic ad campaign budgets when you can support something better?
almost always the support, quality and overal experience will be better but i think you might find that you have to invest time to filter the trash. you can always look at the provider polls and just the most popular providers but the real gold is when you find a top quality provider. i’ve really been enjoying hostcram and crunchbits.com and want nothing to do with AWS, Google, DO, Vultr, etc…
p.s. – just checkout with paypal and you’ll be gucchi.
AlanGuestsigh.
SeanGuestthey are shady, but so are their customers…. here is one of the LET providers on Reddit warning users not to use in production lmao
It’s Worth rent a VPS from lowendbox.com VPS Provider?
byu/BunchOfCode inVPSuse them for testing, spamming, but never for production.
and if you use them for production always have your backups on daily basis because they might disappear while you are sleeping .
SamanthaGuestEvery provider is unique, best not to generalize too much.
NancyGuestI have never had any problems with lowendtalk or lowendbox.
Also offering budget hosting products at https://allgeniushost.com https://discord.gg/allgeniushostJessicaGuestBuyVM and BuyShared is the best example of LET providers who have controversial reputation because of bad customer service, lots of spam/malware hosted on their IP addresses, but still have loyal followers (spammers?).
Not all of customers are spammers and hackers, but mostly they are. So remember when you are reading reviews about LET brands.
These providers are not meant to use in your production WordPress okay? Unless you are running a Neo nazi website banned from all web hosts like Daily Stormer blog.
GraceGuest“Unless you are running a Neo nazi website”
ah yah, tons of those floating around everywhere I look. or are you calling their Brazilian founder a nazi?

NicholasGuesti’ve really been enjoying hostcram and crunchbits.com and want nothing to do with AWS, Google, DO, Vultr, etc…
Hostcram and Crunchbits are very cheap. Are they actually good?
DonaldGuesthating on AWS? fine.
complained about Vultr ID verification? okay.
trashing AWS, Google, Vultr, and DO in the same sentence? crazy!
