-In order to set up my website and email, I needed a VPS. I've previously had VPS from Vultr and OVH, but they are quite expensive (around £3-£4 a month) for my use case. Luckily I remembered about [LowEndBox](https://lowendbox.com/), and I found a good deal for a RackNerd VPS (less than £15 a year). While browsingthe site I noticed something however. One, my ad blocker didn't seem to be working, and two, I didn't mind.

+
+The ads on Low End Box are all down the side of the page, and they don't interfere with the main content. Most website's don't have their content taking up the full browser width anyway, so why not put ads there...
+
+The other problem with ads is they are only ever vaguely related to what you're looking at, but on Low End Box they are all relevant, ads for VPS services.

+Here is an [example page](https://lowendbox.com/blog/running-a-gopher-server-on-a-vps-retro-internet-with-modern-tools/) which I was reading.
