The lifetime VPS that I bought yesterday at Ashburn (US East) is an EPYC.
Funny the IP address is geolocated at Baghdad/Frankfurt depending on who you ask; support ticket says it is normal and the GeoIP people will eventually update; I can't confirm or deny that
Still configuring it but overall seems very snappy.

It is a fact that if you buy a VPS (vServer) with a configuration higher than 5.5 vCores, the performance is not used continuously. I made a mistake when buying a VPS in Germany, with an order of 64 vCores (((. My VPS cannot take full advantage of the performance, any CPU burst activity greater than 5.5 vCores will be automatically sent an email by Zap-Hosting (Regardless of the configuration of your VPS) and the system will automatically shut down the VPS. It feels so disappointing.
With RAM prices sky-rocketing, I'm happy I snagged another lifetime vps at that price on bf. Pretty sure monthly/yearly contracts will soon enough increase in pricing across the board.
Christmas is here and with it great discounts and savings opportunities.

I think max on lifetimes was smth like 30-35%. 70% is definitely for the rental servers
🇺🇸 **Dallas Update**
Over the past three days, we have been affected by severe downtime at our Dallas location. The cause was an air conditioning issue on the data center's side, which forced several servers into overheat protection. As a result, some hardware components and a critical core switch were damaged.
In the meantime, the data center has resolved the issue, and we have been able to restore all hardware components. We are still working on bringing the last remaining services back online, but we expect everything to be running stably again within the next two hours. We deeply appreciate your patience throughout this period.
All customers with services at this location will be compensated with €20 in ZAP credit. In addition, you will receive a 50% discount on your next Dallas order using the voucher code: Dallas-50off-1225
Fyi: Dallas-50off-1225 works with 50% off lifetime vps 👀
Looks like Santa was late but finally came with a lifetime discount haha

Wow!! I think that's a record coupon!
You could potentially get a small storage box (500gb) for a little over 100 with this!

You can also later switch location iirc (for a price). Nvm, after redeeming the coupon, I could also select Germany location right away (32€).

I wouldn't chance it and it could have been a bug but it looks like it was applying the coupon to other locations as well

Yeah, seems that way. Anyway, I'm probably not going to order anything anyway. The price is tempting, but I've already 2 (mostly) idling vps with them
It's indeed a record coupon and I couldn't resist so I went ahead and got a beefy VPS in Germany for a poorly optimized gameserver which needs strong single threaded performance, something my dedis can't provide (* cries in Ivy Bridge cpu marks *) but I unfortunately got deployed on an older v4 node.
I might ask whether I can migrate to an EPYC or Ryzen host as they advertised most servers would get deployed there (if not all?)

BTW, that was some fast ticket response, 4 minutes in plain weekend after BF. Color me impressed!

Maybe this is off-topic (delete if so) but I have received this email regarding an open technician position for their Eygelshoven DC.
Just posting in case anyone nearby is interested on personally taking care of their lifetime servers
