Quite nice actually
Happened on the 1st also, there's just been very little love for us cheapskates.
Sounds dumb, but I care. Hope you're doing okay, because it sounds like you might not be, and I've been there.
Yes quite nice, but it locates in buffalo.
I saw many machines comes from
PISCATAWAY, NJ, seems @VirMach (or @VirBot(TM)) have spare of them.when will this end
Soon (TM)
Another nice one!
I have a thought!
Maybe VirBastardized™ bot is using machine learning to generate specs and to find a balance between selling best and not crashing the system in different price levels.
Haha I got this, finally I got one really satisfy me. Going to pay.
Didn't know there was actually an API for the sales data. I thought they were just crawling the site for the data.
Still, wouldn't the site be more reliable? Since only the billing server crashes and not the main site. Virbot is on the billing server.
Edit: wish I knew this earlier because now I want it start texting me all the below $10 plans to my cell so I don't have to keep looking at the site (but I will anyway).
Good to hear, I was worried you weren't going to get any good deals after camping the entire day
Welcome to page 42!
Fetching only changed sales data instead of whole page can provide better performance(since the sale page can be static and distributed by CDN). If billing server fails, you can still access the page but will display "no sales now" message.
I think some of you may be a little spoiled. There were some great deals, but they can't all be like that. Would you rather get everything dirt cheap and then have the nodes so overloaded the server is useless?
And frankly, nobody forces you to stay glued to the monitor waiting for a deal that may never come. It's unhealthy to obsess that much, this was just meant to be a fun few days, nothing more and nothing less. So don't feel entitled to get anything in particular and be grateful providers go out of their way like this in the first place - they could've just made a thread with two or three mediocre deals and called it a day.
I'm not following. The module that Virmach uses to generate these packages is located on their billing server. The webpage that shows the package details to the general public is located on the sales server. Cloudflare isn't caching anything on either server since it considers both resources to be "dynamic" but I imagine the billing server requires more processing than a static HTML page that changes every so often only.
I don't think that's how this works, the flash sale page is very much static, it's only when you click order now then everything becomes dynamic. It's static content that was generated dynamically, but anyway it takes a while for cache to hit so CDN or whatever doesn't matter anyway since what's really lagging is WHMCS.

Thank you very much!
I'm starting to think that @VirMach planned to rum the flash sale all year long...
The title says "cyber week".
So it's not cyber year ? Or cyber forever ?
Just lost this atlanta one, the good deals are impossible to get! You guys need to do something against the bots >:|
I feel quite easy getting this one, afterward I did some research and call it semi-crazy deal, it's better enough but still can't compare to sanvit one.
From now on I must shut all notification down, or you will find me sleeping in street.
Not as good as last year. Other vendors are also catching up.
What makes things interest is VirBot(TM) already did very similar specs before one hour ago, with one more cent(42.39) you can get more 100MB+ memory. But it doesn't support Windows and I don't know why. I would take that one instead of this one. But I feel OK about this.
@dtQzBen8 Can you disclose how many deals you have gotten and how much you spent in total? I'm really curious... And which was the best deal you got?
Another nice deal!
If only I can get that with 4 vCores, 50 GG SSD, and in Los Angeles or Chicago...at the same price
I agree.
