    Do they do BF promos for lifetime? Is it worth it?
    Sorry haven't followed the whole thread

    They've usually had BF discounts for lifetime products during BF/CM. I think around 20-35% for lifetime vps/rootserver. Are you finally tempted for joining the ponzy scheme? :tongue:

    Hiwz your experience been? Would you do that today?

    I've been happy with my 2 vps with ZAP. Granted they are mostly idling these days, but it feels great that I can always spin them up for some new project without paying up again. I've got Google Calendar reminders to login every 2-3 months to keep them active (but they also send email reminders if you forget to login).
    I also love how you can install their game panel and host gameservers at the click of a button. Yes, I know about Pterodactyl etc, but I like the easy integration they have. I'd still recommend them, especially with the new hw being on Ryzen now there should be a performance boost. I might actually grab a third idler this BF :)

    Thanks for sharing

    How much did you pay for the 2 you already have?

    I think the vps (originally lxc, now also kvm) was around 70€, the Rootserver (kvm) was around 130€. So roughly 200€ish.

    What are you looking to run on it? :) Which specs are you looking to get. I think all vps now come with 1 gbit/s, which is nice. Before it was 500 mbits and you had to pay up for 1 Gbits

    Have got a few small apis that I wanna start off with. Nothing more.

  • Ironically I think the lifetime rootserver I got, which was originally more expensive than the lifetime vps, now has noticeably less performance. And because I had one in Finland and one in Germany, now both are in Germany. But presumably they will both eventually get the epic upgrade if I understand things correctly. But who knows. They work great for "permanent" wireguard nodes at least, I don't use them for much more lol.

    And yet, yes, i will probably look for a lifetime code this BF. Maybe see if I can get one in the US somewhere, I think they have them in Virginia.

  • Whats the difference between vps and the root servers?

    Could not find any direct comparison on their site.

    Yeah, I am also running wg on my vps :)

    Originally when I purchased, Rootservers used KVM virtualization and had a dedicated standard or premium cpu (specific models) you could opt for. Vps was lxc and just x vCores (no cpu models).
    It is my understanding that a couple of months ago, along with the Epyc upgrade, they announced that the "vps" now will also be moved to Epyc and KVM, eventually doing away with the differentiation all together. If I was to buy during BF, I'd get a vps, if still available. Why? Still cheaper, more vCores and will be KVM now as well as eventually will all be moved to Epyc anyway :)
    What's more, Rootserver seemed like it would "lock" you to a specific cpu model, while lxc/vps nodes, due to having no specified cpu, were the first to be upgraded. If we're looking at lifetime vps, I think it's better to opt for no specific cpu to get upgrades faster as I can imagine Rootservers will be kept on old systems longer. Just a guess, though.

    They've been around since 2010. Don't see them going anywhere anytime soon. Discord community of them is also very active. Total assets 2023 were around 5 million euros according to Northdata.

    Thanks for sharing. I somehow equated root servers to vds.

    What you say is probably true. Better to stick to vps.
