Love Lowend. Just grabbed this deal from massiveGRID. Never heard of them, but I took a chance;

4 Shared Intel Xeon CPU vCores
8 RAM DDR4 ECC Registered (GB)
256 Primary High Availability SSD Storage (GB)
20 TB Guaranteed Internet Traffic
1 IP Addresses

I paid $141.28 for 3 years, and replied on their forum post for Lowend and they added 1 extra year of service for free, and activated lifetime pricing. So it works out to be about $2.95/mo which is a damn great price. The only real drawbacks are the network is 1 Gbps shared** and no IPv6 (they’re adding it over the next several weeks looks like).

So not absolutely mindblowing, but you seem to get the full 1 Gbps, which is great. I contacted support and they’ll be offering VDS plans soon with access to higher than 1 Gbps speeds. Super happy so far.
