Provider 
Hi all!
Caliber Node here with a special VPS offer out of Dallas, Texas.
Who is Caliber Node?
We're a relatively new provider and have been operating for around 2 years. Our primary focus has been managed application hosting, which has grown considerably for us.
We're now opening up our virtual server offerings because we understand that sometimes you need more than just a managed app — you need the flexibility of a full VPS.
I'm happy to answer any questions as they come up.
Now, let's get to the good stuff!

Our infrastructure is designed with redundancy throughout:
- Dual ToR switches

Comments
How long is the "Free Micro Apps Plan" valid?
They are provided as a gift with the VPS plan. As long as the VPS plan is active so will the app plan.
If however you'd like to keep the app plan and cancel the VPS we can work out a special rate.

It also says apply common sense, I think I am going to remove that rule, If a thread gets spammy mods/admins just set it to sink anyway.

Why not have the customer DM the provider?
This ensures bonus is only claimed by forum members, while avoid bumping.

Can we take advantage of the offer multiple times? For example if I purchase two vps plans would it be possible to get two of the micro app plan instances?
I'm actually an existing customer of your app service and like it a lot. I even created my account on this site to comment on your post.
Yes the offer can be stacked. Each VPS order qualifies.
And thank you for the kind words we appreciate it.

I ordered the first plan under INV-000248 and was able to successfully complete the purchase.
When trying to purchase additional vps servers of the same size it gave me an error. I opened support ticket #83 for this.
Account limit increased.
Our smaller plans sometimes trigger a review when ordering multiple in a small period of time to prevent abuse. We see a lot of abuse with our smaller plans.
Thanks

Thank you so much! Your support is fantastic! I had not expected that to be resolved at least until later today.
I placed my vps orders and am ready to have the cloud app subscriptions added to my account. At first I was only going to get two but I ended up with 5 vps plans 😅

Received, thank you so much!
I have a question, is there a limit to how many deals can be stacked? I was thinking of getting a few more vps plans 😁 also is it possible to install a custom operating system such as VyOS? I was thinking about using some of them for a networking project.
I went ahead and ordered a few more 😁

Do you want these 10 combined into one subscription for the apps?

This is a really good deal and gave me inspiration to setup a nomad controlled cluster and play around with micro services> @calibernode said:
That would be great, thank you so much!
It's funny because when I first saw this post I didn't plan on getting 15 new vps servers but here I am 😂 having the additional 10 combined into a plan would be awesome and I really appreciate you doing that.
To clarify just the app plans or the VPS servers as well?

For now just the app plans but it's awesome to know that the vps resources can also be combined in the future.
Would it be possible to have all 15 of the micro app plans combined into one? (the original 5 you added earlier today plus the additional 10 I purchased afterwards) If not having one plan of 5 and another is 10 is also fine.
Capacity added 😊

Can you please add this to the existing micro cloud app plan?
For the vps please combine 4 of them into one server, and then the remaining 20 split into 2 servers of 10 each.
@calibernode - After the allotted transfer is used for the month on one of your VPS services, what happens?
Speed is reduced to 25Mbps. All bandwidth is reset on the first of each month. We are genuinely generous so a simple support ticket will likely have your bandwidth bumped free of charge or reset.

I'm a fairly new customer but I can say that I'm incredibly happy with both the service and the support.
I ended up purchasing 24 of the 1 core/1gb vps plans to get 24 of the micro shared app plans and they will let you combine the resources. So now I have two servers with 10 cores/10gb and another with 4. This also stacks the bandwidth, so if you have 24 of the micro shared app plans you will have 24tb of bandwidth per month and if you have a larger server like in my case the 10 core servers have 10tb.
I'm extremely happy with the value this provides and the shared app service is very useful. I am in the process of migrating my important services there and then I am going to use the servers to setup a k3s lab while the shared app service handles things like Authentik, Nextcloud, and Jellyfin.
Okay, thank you! I'm not expecting it to be a problem, but I was having a look over the panel yesterday and was just curious. Reducing the speed instead of immediately billing for overages is very nice for peace of mind.
