If it was 6.66USD, the end would be nigh.
Slightly better than the BF deals because of the shorter contracts terms.
Nope, I remember that their BF had SSD and US location, so I still keep my BF one :-)
Their SSD is good. SAS is larger and double ram for same price without annual contract
>
Oh, Yes, I forgot double RAM. So then it is tempting again, but my BF one is still idling ;-(
Dude, since the plans above are SAS, I'm obviously referring to their BF deals of the same categories (SAS-Special-1, SAS-Special-2), and not to their BF deals that were SSD:

Good call on reducing the contract terms to 90days.
oh no
I waited for those deals to come back, but why now? Didn't want to spend even more money around easter...
Come on. You know you want it. ;-)
Different from Easter Eggs they make you lighter. At least your wallet.
These are excellent value for money (esp. the lower sized VPSs). At the higher end though, it is really hard to beat Netcup's value (for e.g. the Easter offers at roughly € 7-8 with >=8GB of RAM, >=320GB Disk, >=20TB BW) at least in the EU locations (unless of course a specific location is very premium for your use case).
UltraVPS has quite a few diverse locations - so that's definitely a plus as compared to Netcup and I have VPSs from both and they're both excellent in their own ways (and you can't really go wrong with either of them!).
And for the record, I've had ZERO steal (yes that's not a typo) on VPSs from both of them (and yes before you taunt me even idling VPSs can have their precious CPU time stolen!).
I've had pretty much negligible downtime as well (though there's the usual network blips, mainly over IPv6, here and there but nothing significant or noteworthy).

(location düsseldorf)
Sweet - is this from their AMS location?
How is this compared to contabo?
I picked düsseldorf, but might have to go for an AMS as well...
btw:
FIO 4k randread: ~33k iops
FIO 4k randwrite: ~24k iops
FIO 64k randread: ~30k iops
FIO 64k randwrite: ~7k iops
testfile has been 8GB ... especially the high read iops with 64k blocksize makes me think that there is some heavily good caching for that SAS array in place. wonder how this will look once the nodes are filling up ;-)
who? ;-P
Yeah, I grabbed SAS-Special-1 on BF, a very nice deal, but on BF it had a contract term of 12 months, whereas now it's only 3 months (otherwise the same), so even more attractive now.
By the way, as you can see from @Falzo's benchmark above, you actually get two storage devices:
So +10G (more precisely, +10 GiB).
Decent provider, have used for about 4 or 5 years?
Can't resist for this offer .... so much idle servers.
VPSs from UltraVPSs are keepers though - so the contract shoudln't really make a difference (unless of course they outdo themselves! - are you listening @UltraVPS)?
Indeed, so it's more of a theoretical consideration: other things being equal, shorter contract periods are preferred over longer ones.
In any case, I'm tempted to grab another one, this time in Amsterdam (my BF one is in Düsseldorf), but I should try to resist ... try to resist ...
Resistance is futile. Don't waste your precious time thinking, idle instead.
amsterdam:
why can't I resist...
good and very stable provider w good and willing support, recommended
I'm still trying, I have to focus on resisting ...
2core, 4GB kvm at that pricing? no way.
netcup had 2c/4G back in november for 3.11€ but that was only with 40G SSD (and it's definitely not faster than the SAS here) and even the same thing as easter egg now came in at 3.49 if I remember correctly...
I am close to shopping frenzy right now. spending 15€ on a few VMs here could easily replace an oversized dedi which I pay around 50€ a month for.
@UltraVPS how long you think this offer will stay on? I would like to spread out additional orders throughout the next days to maybe get onto different hostnodes (if there are multiple) - or does that sound unlikely to happen?
And I want to add from a quality provider to that.
Just out of curiosity, wouldn't a bigger Netcup beast (not to detract from this thread - my apologies) at 12GB RAM/4vCores/750GB SAS be the better
bargainworkhorsevery true.
not really, because the mentioned dedi is virtualized and holds multiple guests (with individual IPs as well). the netcup one isn't easy (nor cheap) to split up into smaller chunks... but it is easy to migrate a guest from the dedi to a readymade VM from here ;-)
it's just about the use case, 2c/4GB is kind of a sweet spot for my needs, esp. with 100GB speedy disk at the given price...
We have capacity for a few hundred VMs in both locations. I suppose these offers will remain active for a week or two.
And US?
probably no big storage arrays there...
Is SAS Storage SSD?
How come it is SSD-like performance?
