Parents day thread. Offers with no rules applied
In order to celebrate the new father @Mason (not new-new, but had a baby girl recently) and all other fathers and mothers, I hereby let you all know that TODAY, on July 25th, it is Parents day!
Parents' Day 2021 is a holiday celebrated, annually, on the fourth Sunday of July that combines the concepts of Fathers' Day and Mothers' Day. It is a day that commemorates parenthood and appreciates all parents (including mothers, fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers, great-grandmothers and great-grandfathers, stepmothers and stepfathers, and foster mothers and fathers) as well as their contribution to society.
On all of the 25th, as long as it is the 25th somewhere in the world, this thread is open to post as many offers you like!
No limits, the wackier the offer, the more fun it will be.
So, let's get this thing started!
We have the first offer already here by @Advin ... and more to come!
Stay tuned, subscribe ...... do your thing!

Introduction
On behalf of Advin Servers, we'd like to wish happy parents (
) day to @Mason!
We're a small hosting company and we primarily specialize in storage. All links and codes in our thread will go live on July 24th at 5PM EST (and they'll all end at 11:59PM NZST on July 26th). All of our deals are only monthly (other than our cPanel hosting, which can be quarterly).
This is a pretty long post, as I've prepared some crazy and insane deals for this occasion! I hope you enjoy these deals, and if you have any feedback on any of them, feel free to message us.
VPS-RAM Lineup ($0.50/GB
)
We have some very cheap servers with a lot of RAM available. This lineup is new, and it is the first time we're showing it.
VPS-RAM-4G
VPS-RAM-8G
VPS-RAM-16G
VPS RAM Plan Notes
This plan doesn't have any drive redundancy, so it's important that you take your own backups (we're still working on an automated backup system). All of these servers come with an IPv6 address, but we are able to provide an IPv4 address for $0.50/month extra. The CPU will most likely be an Intel X series CPU (i.e. X5570 or X5670) or it can be an older E5 series CPU. If you are using PayPal, we may charge an additional $0.30/mo fee for future invoices on some of our lower end plans. Stripe and Crypto payments will not have additional fees. Delivery ETA for this server is by August 1st.
Purchase
You can purchase this amazing deal at https://advinservers.com/deals/vps-ram.html (Link goes live at 5:00PM EST on July 24th). This specific deal will only have 5 uses, so act quick!
Storage Hybrids
We have some very cheap storage available! All come with dedicated vCores.
STORAGE-7T
STORAGE-16T
STORAGE-32T
STORAGE-48T
STORAGE Plan Notes
These don't come with any redundancy. As you may have noticed, some plans come with "2x16TB HDD" rather than "32TB HDD". This is because we give you space on 2 separate drives for you to use, and you can setup RAID1 yourself if you need it. Also, please be a friendly neighbor. Each of our host nodes have 4 x 16TB HDD with 1 Gbps each.

Plan Notes
We can increase the storage on request as long as the usage is reasonable and it is not used for file hosting or video streaming websites. Please note that when paying with PayPal, we may add additional fees for future invoices (~$0.30). We offer Stripe & Crypto as an alternative with NO fees! We provide basic support on all of our services. This means that we'll help you with billing and issues with accessing your website hosting (i.e. Why can't I login to my cPanel? or Why hasn't my service been deployed yet?). However, we won't answer more advanced questions (i.e. Why is my PHP version stuck on 7.4? or Why is my PHP application erroring?). More advanced support may be an additional (paid) option in the future.

Parents Day LES Exclusive: Ryzen 9 5950X Vermeer Zen 3 Unlimited!
Congrats @Mason! 🆕👶🎂
Fast-as-metal server share from MetalVPS.com!
Hetzner AX101 Ryzen 9 5950X Vermeer Zen 3!
This server's awesome power vastly exceeds @Not_Oles' needs, so you are welcome to share.
*CPU: AMD Ryzen™ 9 5950X 16-Core
*RAM: 128 GB DDR4 ECC
*Hard drive: 2 x 3.84 TB NVMe SSD Datacenter Edition (software RAID 0, 7 TB space available, very fast)
*IP Addresses: IPv4/28, IPv6/64
*Connection: 1 GBit/s port
*Bandwidth: 1 GBit/s
*Traffic: Unlimited and free of charge
*Datacenter: Hetzner FSN1
*OS: Debian sid
Today's Offer!
Shell account. Shared access to all resources. "It ain't dedicated," unless maybe somebody uses taskset or a similar tool.
This setup means, for example, that a neighbor could run more than one VPS using qemu, or could store quite a bit of data files, etc.
There currently are neighbors who have sudo privileges.
No GUI on the node yet. No web control panel yet. Just command line on the node for now. Of course, you can put whatever you want inside your VPS, and maybe we can add to the node.
YABS
Recent yabs results are here for 10.10 vs sid and here for inside a qemu VPS.
The links below are to yabs test results done awhile back on the same hardware but with the Proxmox kernel and prior to the switch from Proxmox to Debian sid. Each result includes the single core Geekbench 5 performance score listed here:
Bare metal: 1725 -- Not too shabby! 🚀This speed is what you might expect with a shell account.
Inside KVM: 1454 -- 271 GB5 points penalty for running inside KVM
Inside LXC: 1489 -- 45 GB5 points faster than KVM; still 236 GB5 points penalty for running inside LXC
If you don't like the virtualization penalty, use your shell account!
Pricing
Per neighbor, $20.21 per month
When you think about the pricing, please consider that Hetzner receives from me approximately $132.77 per month for the server and its IP addresses. The pricing here is higher than an oversold VPS, but less than your own bare metal server. The original pricing calculation is here. Please note that the currently offered unlimited unit size is not the originally calculated unit size.
How to Order
Accounts may be requested by active members of the LES community and by others whose web presence or references are deemed by MetalVPS as sufficient.
To request an account, please post here, PM me, @Not_Oles, or use the email on my @Not_Oles LES profile.
When and How to Pay
No payment is due until after your account is set up and you are 100% satisfied.
Payments available via Paypal or Stripe.
Back Story
I continued having occasional nagging thoughts about MetalVPS neighbors possibly being happier with the server running plain Debian instead of Proxmox. Given the current update status at Proxmox I decided to switch.
The experience over the last year and a half being a Provider here at LES together with the recent Oracle Cloud free tier upgrade to aarch64 (good instance size and good performance, all free of charge) suggests that the LES community has little need for a higher-priced low end alternative.
Our few neighbors on MetalVPS are really great guys! Lots of fun to work with them! They're honest, generous, reliable, and definitely ungreedy.
Warnings!
RAID 0! Fast but dangerous! 🤩
Node OS might suddenly change anytime soon! 👍
Hey! It's Debian unstable! 🤩
Grumpy, ignorant, clueless, greedy administrator! 😀
Delivery might take awhile! 😴
@Not_Oles frequently messes up new installs! 😱
No warranty, to the extent permitted by applicable law. No service level agreement. Not for business use. Intended especially for computer learning and fun!
@Not_Oles tries to keep the system updated. Frequent maintenance reboots are guaranteed, but uptime is pretty okay. Node load averages usually are pretty low.
Please make your own redundant, offsite backups! It's easy to download your backup to a safe place. Please also make sure that you actually can restore from your backups! Please think of your MetalVPS account as ephemeral!
@Not_Oles rents servers from Hetzner. MetalVPS.com is an indie project of Tom Miller, not an official Hetzner project, and not an official lowendspirit.com project.
Neighbors can see your account name, the processes you are running, and much other information. So, please do not put confidential information on the server.
What People are Saying
"It just crossed my mind that I've been using your server for over half a year! It's been an amazing experience! . . . Your services deserve much more attention.
"
"Wow pretty nice ! Congrats excellent options thanks for being a part of the community"

"

"I think MetalVPS is designed in between a dedicated and a regular VPS. Some use case cannot fill the capacity of a dedicated but need more CPU than a regular VPS, and it makes sense to use MetalVPS in such situation."
"Possibly the most polite and enthusiastic personality in the entire LE* world with a genuine interest that runs so deep he even set up a business exclusively catering for LES. as a regular content writer for LES his articles frequently top the charts in terms of most viewed (according to google)"
"Really, you're the best person I've known on the internet."
"we've found that good, in-depth technical articles tend to drive user interaction and new sign-ups on the forum. @Not_Oles's Proxmox articles are evidence of this."

Hey @Advin,
This looks great, but too big for my use. Is it possible to split it in half? Half the resources for ~$20/month?
Thanks!

Any bench, sir?
it's a pre order sir, wait for it on the YABS thread
I bench YABS 24/7/365 unless it's a leap year.
Not sure how the ordering process was… the link provided simply gave a blank page with the attached message. Gave up after 3 tries (different times). Looks like they got used up sometime sooner
which is positive
Edit: Thanks @mason works on Desktop for me, ios screen + moisture + fat fingers I guess more of latter than former limits my abilities to transact (which is a good thing sometimes! )

Code works fine for me. Go to the link on that page and copy the coupon code on the checkout page.
