I consider a provider from LowEndBox disappearing one day a near-certainty. In my experience (N = ~10), an average LEB provider will have an existence half-life of around 3 years. That's not to discourage anyone from using them; in fact, LEB VPS servers are pretty much all I use (each being ~$25 / year), and I've gotten quite good at keeping useful, tested backups, keeping redundancy in my services, and being able to stand up a new server quickly.
