    I am in.

    Simple rule:

    If there's no problem 7 days after BF, people that place bet have to donate them to the charity.

    If there's at least 1 problem 7 days after BF, you have to donate the total amount we bet to the charity.

    BF in LET (facts)

    • Dedi deals gonna end up with 84$ with crappy hardware by saying they are within the limit.

    • Many vps deal will come for gold idlers but prices will be as high as 7$ but not worth going for actual usage. Still good for idling

    • Hopefully to see similar offers (like mxroute to popup once again)

    Other community might have better deals from good/bad hosts combined together.

    P.S. this is not spoiler rather worries due to facts.

    i am donating every year. So let do this :smile:

    i am in with some exceptions , i have ddos protection up to 1tbps with 2 providers , i am in with the condition i will not be atacked more than 2tbps.

    If i loose i will donate 5000 eur to a international charity company specially who help people from Africa (i feel bad for some regions from there and is all our culpability in my opinion , the rich country have all culpability for what have this people)

    If you loose you will came to Oradea to visit us in the next 2 month and you will invite/pay vine and beers as many we can drink me and my people (8 persons for hosting +12 in perfumes ) durring a entirely weekend.

    To mention , we will have verry atractive offers in dedis etc etc so i hope will be like last year with huge quantity of work.

    Are you in ?

    VirMach will throw some more hidden free ones in and win.

    I still like both my $ 0.70/year Nat VPS from @Cam and my $ 0.95/year CC Buffalo VPS from @VirMach.

    LOL. What will they offer if this company doesn't have even a few vpses in Europe right now. They're out of stock. I checked it 2 months ago and now they're still out of stock.

  • I sincerely hope @UltraVPS will have an 8GB RAM VPS with those beast CPUs below or at €7. (or even 6GB, please please, I was waiting for 6 months to upgrade)

    I am in for three 8GB RAM VPSes with beast CPUs below 7 EUR. I am even willing to sign 6, 12 months. Let's not forget php-friends is currently 9 EUR w/ VAT included for 10GB and two dedicated Intel Xeon Gold 6140 cores. If they let ex-EU people off the VAT it's already 7.28 EUR so below 7 EUR is totally within the realm of possibilities. I couldn't really understand whether they autodeduct the VAT for ex-EU people like Hetzner does or not and I didn't test, I was last looking a month ago but my project launch got delayed.

    UltraVPS had https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/157098/special-offers-2-vcpus-4-gb-ram-100-gb-hdd-3-33-eur-4-vcpus-8-gb-ram-200-gb-hdd-6-66-eur/p1 4 vCPUs, 8 GB RAM, 200 GB HDD: 6.66 EUR before -- but it's not SSD, php-friends is SSD :) but honestly, at 8GB all my shit fits in RAM so I am fine...

    So the Big Deal would be 5 EUR without VAT for two dedicated beast cores (above 2000 single thread Passmark), a few ten GB SSD and 8GB RAM somewhere in Europe. If someone is reading this: at 5 EUR I am buying four, just need them on separate physical machines.

    Looking for the real Emma this BF!

  • VirMach will give that lifetime SSD32G to me for free.

    haha nice one @ITLabs !

    We'd like to know what the community wants actually... :-)

  • Let's not forget that OVZ 6 will end by then. This means offers should be OVZ 7 or KVM, but those will be more expensive.

  • I'm really excited about this year's BF :-) I can smell the potassium already

  • Plot twist: There will be some "problems" and no one would be able to post for two days... except @LEBFeed - because it's automated.

    at which point the party on HostBalls will be in full swing ... so to speak :smirk:

    I'm quite sad that my free year of the SSD32G is due soon, starting to look at how I'm migrating everything off of it as I slowly tossed on a bunch of stuff onto it without realizing (because Virmach VPSs are just that awesome!) that I'm loading the thing up..

    Just waiting for Virmach to give us the promised surprise from BF2018...
