Looking for DirectAdmin Low End Boxes
I'm in the market for a DA LEB, ideally located in Europe. I checked most of recent offers on LEB but none of them seem to offer DA. Do anybody knows of a provider that offers DA with at least 512MB in sub $15/month budget? am I asking for too much if I add 1GB uplink to that?
thanks!

Have a look at ramhost.us German servers. I'm pretty happy with them, they give you DA for 6,49$.
A 1 GB RAM OpenVZ with DirectAdmin is 15/month at Hostigation.com
Just to give you an idea, you don't even need 1GB. I think 512MB will be sufficient. Mine has never exceeded 400MB, even on quite high load.
[root@zeus ~]# free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 1536 302 1233 0 0 0 -/+ buffers/cache: 302 1233 Swap: 0 0 0Looking at their website I'd say it's one of those companies I would never buy from.
I never said I need 1GB plan, I've few DA machines, all loaded with 10-20 sites, and the usage is still below 512MB, that's why I asked for 512MB plan
Why would that be. They are very professional, services are great, what more can you ask. I have a VPS from them and no problems so far.
/me waits for Tim to come and defend his company..
I never said you said you needed a 1GB plan :P
You have no idea what are you missing :P
That may be arguable, but I think a proper website is a part of every company's image. In that case looking at their website just hurts my eyes. If they don't treat the potential customer with pro attitude, I don't bother signing up.
Have a look at the deadpool, your logic is backwards. Those that scam/fail/fold had some of the flashier sites, those with plain sites are still here chugging along, wasting little time on flash and devoting it to their customers and service.
True, a flashy website means nothing. Look at BurstNET, not that I like them or anything but they've been there for ages and probebly have the worst design in history.
And anyway I gotta say I like Hostigation's design, nice and simple.
How is not having a flashy design a bad attitude to the customer? Anyway, it's your loss not mine..
@alex
Tim kicks ass around here. He's one of the few providers who actually seems to have a clue as to what they're doing.
My logic is not backwards. If you don't bother about proper presentation of your product, why should I bother signing up with you?
@Infinity: it's not my loss, as it's not like I'm not getting something that is free. If anybody's it's them who are loosing a potential customer.
Call me old fashioned, but it's just the way I am.
all sold out
Why DA ? Why not Webmin or Kloxo ? They both are good and quiet easy to use..
sorry but they're not. it's utter crap when compared to DA imho
hmmm, well that's how you think, they are quiet good for me and many others, don't term free and good stuff as crap.
people like what there used to and if he prefers da thats his choice.
hmmm, that is true.
you see its the pricing point $9.00 / month license for d/a leaves only $6 in your budget for only the vps what spec do you need.
depends on the quantity DA price can go down to $5/month for providers. that leaves $10 for the VPS. it depends on the provider and their arrangement with DA
As a host you can easily become DA NOC. As NOC you can get them for as low as $5 per month.
have just applied lol
never had demand for it though be handy though to have.
newwebsite.com offers VPS with free DA, price from $6.95/month
Find the sign up link on WebHostingTalk because they don't list this offer on their homepage 
And I'm still paying $19 a month per server for my DA licenses. I need to bug them about that.
But, yes, I like it too. Anything is better than CPanel.
Maybe your personal preference, but DA continues to fall further and further behind cPanel, and if you do actually need support, DA is not even in the same realm.
I have two machines with them, but need different location. Ideally in Europe
Thing is, when I needed support, DA guys were there. for every other time I was able to easily find what I was looking for on their forum. I don't see a reason to pay 3-4 times more for cPanel. But again, each to its own. I prefer DA despite the fact most providers offer cPanel. And apparently so my customers.
@miTgiB
That's probably the number 2 positive comment that I get from my clients. Concerning that we use DA instead of CPanel. Get a lot of good feedback on it.
So maybe a little more than just personal.
It is a personal preference thing for sure. I've offered both for years, but prefer cPanel. And from watching the actions of those using both, those selecting DA as hosts last much shorter a time then those selecting cPanel. Sure there are those that have used DA for years and still love it, I'm just observing typical usage, and those selecting DA usually abandon it within 3 month, while cPanel is selected over DA 25:1 even at twice the price, and I keep those customers, some coming up on 6 years now.
ok sweet have just been confirmed i can now sell vps's with d/a
d/a $5 on top of vps cost. Will have to create new os templates now and order link
there goes my sunday afternoon lol
Now you're talking! If only you weren't a UK regd company (bloody VAT). Must do some math
