    eventhough i spent time looking at offers in LET and here, i grabbed nothing.

    because my heart is always looking at hetz AX41 ;)

    Yeah, I really enjoy hetzner.

    Their VPS pricing is good too! Fast network (for me at least), API and scalability. Got a "Jitsi Meet" coming up with 30+ video stream participants? API call to upgrade those RAMs and CPU's to the max (16 cores, 32 rams)...
    Conference done? Downgrade to 1 core 2 GB RAM again.

    I bought nothing yet :(

    Though, I am considering picking up one of Hosthatch's box in all 15 locations. Would be great for BGP.

  • FreekFreek

    I was tempted by all the 1 core / 1GB (or 2GB) RAM plans for 10-20 USD a year, but then again I have no real use case for them. I need at least 2 cores 2GB RAM, so I figured to save the money and put it towards 1 or 2 good offers.

    So far I've snatched @AnthonySmith 's Flash Sale:
    Provider - InceptionHosting (I've been an on/off client of Ant since 2014... time flies)

    UK - London - KVM - SSD Cached
    4 CPU Cores (Equal Share) - E5v4
    2 GB Ram DDR4
    80 GB SSD Cached Disk space - 8 disk Enterprise SAS Raid 10
    2000 GB Bandwidth @ 1 gbit (shared) - DDOS Protected
    1 x IPv4 address
    1 x /64 IPv6
    Free direct admin
    €7.50 /3 months
    €15 /6 months
    €30 /year
    Use case: COD2 & COD4 Gameservers probably.

    And of course the 128MB NAT bundle (3 for the price of € 5 / yr) from Ant as well. Probably going to use them for personal VPN (and for the extra raffle ticket hehe).

    I'm still looking for something in the APAC region, so I'm closely watching @Abdullah @hosthatch . Additionally I need another VPS in US with DDOS protection. @SoftShellWeb 's offer looks nice so far.

  • EelekEelek OG

    I grabbed two of Liteserver's 4GB NVME VPS, mainly for small gameservers for me and friends.

  • bunsenbbunsenb

    Got a 512 slice from @Francisco, no deal on this but the specs and prem provider were right.
    If @cam has any more dollar NATs I'd love to pick up another two to idle them, but I was too late to get the stock of 8 that were released.

    Nothing, apart from some flash deals I didn’t see anything that was far better than some deals I’ve already got in the rest of the year.

  • valkyrievalkyrie

    Grabbed Letbox's NJ Ryzen 3TB box, for backups and storage ofc

  • K4Y5K4Y5 OG

    Oh man, quite a lot that I will probably get around to testing over the next month or so. Will be keeping the good ones and unceremoniously dropping the turds. :tongue:

    Most of these VMs will be replacing aging HDD / SSD OVZ and KVM boxes that I have with some providers for years - replete with old-ass, under performing and vulnerable Intel CPUs and drives that are just slow by current standards.

    Anyway, here is some stuff that I bought so far:

    • 1x @exception0x876 Black Friday Special 8G KVM in FR that I am probably going to keep for life.
    • 1x @AnthonySmith 2GB KVM SSD special in UK with a couple of snappy E-2276G cores
    • 1x @LiteServer 4GB KVM in NL
    • 1x @LiteServer 2GB KVM in NL
    • 1x @RackNerd 4GB KVM in NYC that will be moved to NL soon™
    • 1x @VPSSLIM 4GB KVM in NL
    • 1x @cociu special 4GB KVM with 500GB SSD in NO.
    • 1x @hosthatch 6TB Storage KVM in NL
    • 1x @hosthatch 8GB KVM in NL
    • 1x @hosthatch 512M KVM during their Flash sale in Stockholm
    • 1x @hosthatch 250GB Storage KVM during their Flash sale in Stockholm
    • 1x @BharatB 4GB KVM in Mumbai as I needed something exotic in the mix

    PS: @hosthatch, Not gonna drop the older services. They still kick serious ass :wink:

    Hosthatch has a special order method for this deal. I'm waiting for my support ticket to be handled, probably on Monday. I'll post the YABS as soon as I get it...

    Ah yes, the 'Crawl of Shame' thread I was planning to create.

    I had decided to wait until Monday when all the players were done with their mating dances.

    However, I succumbed to just this one.
    Product: Hosthatch NVMe deal 8 GB - Amsterdam
    Specs: KVM / 2 CPU core / 8 GB RAM / 40 GB NVMe RAID-10 / 5 TB Transfer
    Price: $ 30 $27/yr (loyalty discount)
    Goal: Cloudron instance probably

    Ooh. This is something I didn't think of. I shall try this out sometime when the 24gb of idle ram on my auction dedi isn't enough.

    I cancelled a 4yo scaleway E3v3 dedi (freeing up 24 euro ;2xfailover IPs were expensive).

    So, net-net I've cut back monthly spend by $25. One dedi from a quality provider is enough for almost anyone.

    Edit: dropped a 4gb ultravps idler too when I realized I was still in cancellation window until tomorrow. ?
