DatabaseByDesign's Freedom Day Dedi Special
This discussion has been closed.

With the amount of people refreshing the thread for the storage deal, probably views :P
Also, do you think it'd be possible in lieu of the RAM for the "LET never enough for you fucks special" to get a second disk added instead of a price change?
Also, I think this thread should be renamed "Database By Design grabs LET by the balls". Seems more fitting.
I got the "you're fucked" email from you.
And that would be "never", given you obviously have shortage of 10yo crap and it won't be produced ever again? I'm not quite following this. I managed to snap one deal in the 5 minute window and that was when my luck ran out. Chasing your new flash sales is the "first shot" your promised or it's not?
@hzr reported to receive several machines. What deal was that, E3 or the one you said would be limited to 1 per customer and still ran out?
I'm sad and disappointed.
Always nice to read if other people get several machines and you nothing.
And still no replacement deal, so total was of time again.
New modified spec with less orders:
Single Hex core X5660 24GB RAM 2x 10K 146GB SAS - no more SSD option
1 Usable IP 1Gbps Port 10TB Bandwidth CentOS 6 64bit (Self Install Any OS After Setup) Full Root Access Dedicated IPMI $14/m annual billing
Is this happening today? And would this be another group buy? How many orders do you need?
He's busy, putting my /64.
We're seeing multiple people picking up multiple specials. This thread has had like 5 different specials so far. Nothing wrong if you want one 'Special A', one 'Special B' one 'Special C' ect.
No one got more than 1 server for the E5450 for $58.14 per 6m special.
Plenty of other fish in the sea my friend. Quick look on LET and I'm sure you can find some equally shitty/old hardware.
We still have plenty of these:

@DatabasebyDesignLLC do you think two larger HDD's would be possible for those if you take away the SSD?
We might be able to swing 2x 300GB SAS drives. Would be very limited qty though. Only enough for a few servers.
Well, still 4x the Price as the offer before, 35$ is not bad for a E3 but I also saw it cheaper before.
Hi @DatabaseByDesignLLC
Glad to see your sales are going well… but you may think on at least respond to tickets from who order the first promotion.
On first promotion, it was announced that all servers would be deployed with CentOS 6 but that after we could request Free of Charge a OS re-install made by your team.
I made that request, your team said it would make it on July 9… waited some days.. no response. I open new ticket to ask for an update and you responded with changed conditions saying that now you don’t do free OS re-installs and that I need to use IPMI.
I said ok and close that ticket. I then tried to do the OS re-installation and was able to connect and start CentOS 7 install… but at the middle of installation it always freezes (tried many times).
Also I went on holidays so my current internet connection is not the best. So I opened a new ticket asking for your team to make the OS re-install and told you that I was willing to wait.
The problem is that Ticket was open on 17 July and until now, nothing done and not even a response on the ticket. If you give me response on the ticket I would not have to be here on LET sharing my history..
It’s the first working with your company and I’m looking forward to start using the server! Paid annually. But no managed support does not means (at least in my world) to ignore a ticket for more than 10 days.
I’m just asking for your company to meet the sales terms that I agree when I bought the server and also to respond to tickets. I think that is not asking too much!
Hope to see feedback on my ticket soon. Thanks
Hey @nqservices, I'm willing to help you out if you want me to. I was able to get my OS reloaded over IPMI. If you don't hear back from dbd, shoot me a pm if you want.
Thanks a lot! This community is great! Will do if I don't get a response / solution in the next 24 hours.
Flash #3 is up. More to come
>
Responded. Basically it's the same thing we've said before. These are self-managed and you're given all of the tools to install any OS. We cannot provide that level of support on these low priced servers free of charge.
Aaaaand its gone
OOS already? that's quick
lasted 3 mins for this one
I only had 1 of the ancient xeons for 58-59. 99% of my account are E3s.
Have had multiple E3 deploys, waiting on the older xeons.
As a note: I successfully self-reinstalled OS via virtual media mounting on the first try for everything, I did not need to ask support for anything at all, but had to disable all java security in a VM to do so
@hzr are you saying you connected to https://76.72.166.203:22106/ ?
Did you open a ticket to enable the IPMI? I don't think that one is.
LET Helpdesk works!
4 is up.
My refund is still not up, so I cannot buy more shit.
Any URL?
Agreed, which url? I've clicked a few in this thread an they aren't the ones.
https://www.databasebydesignllc.com/newportal/cart.php?a=add&pid=20034Currently sold out though.
@DatabaseByDesignLLC yup, I opened the ticket, but you scared me, so I gave up for /64.
