LayerOne, LLC is a Florida-based VPS provider that runs its own hardware out of a carrier-neutral data center in Tampa, and it has just opened up a special discounted pricing tier for a limited time. The offer covers the full VPS lineup — from a $1.89/month entry box up to a 24 vCPU / 128GB monster — on enterprise SAS SSD storage with always-on DDoS mitigation included by default. Below is everything you need: the discount structure, every plan and price, and the company, billing, and network details behind them.
The Deal: 37% Off Monthly, 47% Off Annual, Plus a 50% Deposit Match
Every plan in this lineup is discounted 37% off the standard monthly rate or 47% off when paid annually. Annual billing is paid upfront as account credit, while monthly billing draws down that same credit hour by hour — so a server you delete is a server you immediately stop paying for.
On top of the discounted plans, new and existing customers get a 50% bonus on their first deposit, up to $25 in free credit. Add at least $5 in credit and enter the code below on the add-credit page before paying:
- Promo code: LOWENDTALK
- Bonus: 50% match on your first deposit, capped at $25
- Minimum deposit: $5
- Best value: Deposit $50 to receive the full $25 bonus (max match)

About LayerOne
LayerOne, LLC is a registered Florida limited liability company with a Tampa mailing address; customer servers themselves run in a separate Tampa-metro data center facility. The company was built around a specific complaint about the budget hosting market: as LayerOne puts it, “so much of the budget hosting market sells capacity it does not have and support it cannot staff.” Its answer is billing transparency and owned infrastructure rather than reselling someone else’s capacity.
Why This VPS Launch Stands Out
- True KVM virtualization with full root access, backed by a 99.9% uptime SLA. Each VPS runs on Intel Xeon Skylake-SP or newer processors with conservative vCPU oversubscription, giving you a real virtual machine rather than a container-based instance.
- Enterprise SAS SSD storage. Both plans use enterprise-grade SAS SSD disks rather than standard SATA SSDs, which typically means better sustained I/O performance for databases, web apps, and general workloads.
- DDoS protection included at no extra cost. LayerOne provides always-on Layer 3/Layer 4 upstream filtering combined with its own mitigation rules — a feature that’s often an expensive add-on elsewhere.
- 2.5 Gbps port on every plan. Even the entry-level Nano plan gets a 2.5 Gbps network port, well above the 1 Gbps that’s typical at this price point.
- Hourly, credit-based billing model. Because billing is metered hourly against account credit, you can delete a server mid-term without being locked into remaining contract costs — a flexible option if your needs change.
- Multiple premium network upstreams. LayerOne runs its own ASN (AS31916) with upstream connectivity through Hurricane Electric, GTT Communications, NTT America, and Arelion, helping ensure solid routing and redundancy.
Payment Methods
LayerOne accepts both credit/debit card payments and cryptocurrency, giving flexibility for customers who prefer either option — including privacy-focused customers who’d rather not tie a card to their account. Billing runs on hourly metering against prepaid credit, and LayerOne notes there are no automatic renewals to catch you off guard.
