Time can not be bend, only influenced by gravity.

I'm sure he has plenty of gravity to make it happen.

I think @hosthatch has a fundamentally different concept of time from the rest of us

Then he must be from HK, where 8:00 world time means 7:45 here.

Sadly they are all expired. You should wait for flash sale as lots of forks here

I actually had an issue with those NVMe from last year in Chicago, but I assume everyone on that node had them... Except for that, you're pretty much on point.

Hi guys

Sorry for the delay in getting these deals out to you. Hope you will like them.

The promotions applies to all of our locations, and we are also introducing multiple new locations for our KVM NVMe servers. Warsaw and Sydney is live starting today. Hong Kong, Milan and Madrid will also be launched in the next couple of weeks. We can take pre-orders for these locations if you are keen, but guaranteed delivery will be December 31st.

Please carefully read the specifications and delivery ETAs before ordering. All payments are final.


Let’s start with the storage VMs. They are based on RAID-50/60 with SSD caching. As many of you already know, these are reliable, high performing storage plans. You won't find any days where you can't pull/push at least a whole gigabit to or from the internet. You can expect consistent, high performance, all year round, but keep in mind that these are for mass storage and not heavy compute. Abuse will be dealt with very efficiently.

Storage deals:
Available in: Chicago, London, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Los Angeles

> > 1x 2.4+ GHz
> > 3 GB RAM
> > 3 TB usable storage
> > 9 TB bandwidth
> > $84 per year
> > Add more resources for $30 per year per chunk. Each chunk is 1 GB RAM, 1 TB storage and 3 TB bandwidth. Up to 30 TB storage per VM. This pricing is only for servers created during the promotion. We can do quarterly billing cycle for servers larger than 5 TB.

NVMe deals:
Available in: Amsterdam, Stockholm, Los Angeles, Zurich, Oslo, Vienna, Warsaw, London, Chicago, New York and Sydney (Hong Kong, Madrid and Milan can be pre-ordered, but delivery will be by December 31st).

I know you guys are going to complain about the low bandwidth allotment in Sydney and Hong Kong. If you see someone providing cheaper for the same price, please let me know and we will see what we can do.

All of our nodes have 10 GbE public + 10 GbE private with jumbo frames. So for example - you can use a NVMe + storage server in combination by mounting the disk over the private network. It will be higher performance than most 'block storage' products out there, likely cheaper, and you get more control over your setup.

If you decide to get at least one NVMe VM in each of our locations, you will get 30% off your order. This means ordering 15 VMs in total at least (1 per location)

How to order

To order, please sign up or login at manage.hosthatch.com and deposit the appropriate amount of funds. Then open a ticket with sales mentioning the promotion/location you want. All special orders are manually provisioned on working days only. We require up to 7 working days to provision these so please be patient.

Please note that we will likely have some flash sales, which might be better/worse than these deals, and you might feel bad about missing out on them. We cannot switch you once you have opened a ticket to order something. An open ticket (whether you close it or not later) is considered an active order, and will not be changeable without our discretion. Please understand that flash deals or not - all of these are high-performing servers with incredible value for the price.

Please keep an eye on this thread. We will update as stock in some locations go out. Any orders made after the timestamp of my post saying we are out of stock here will not be provisioned, and your only option will be to change to something else.

Can I still order these VPSes now?

Did you have IPv6 issues?

Never had any problem with their support neither but some folks do seem to have some tickets answered after a very loooong period of time. Could be the time we are currently experimenting that makes a come back from time to time. Just a guess, I have no PhD in physics.

No, disk was unbearable slow. There was even a thread about it here.

Oh, well. Then I guess I didn't notice.

My only problem was the broken IPv6 setup on my box, which had been solved after a couple of replys.

All 2TB deals from previous flash sale are still alive - except AMS

Perhaps a different node? The issues were kinda bad on that side, so I ended up cancelling. Everything else has been running great with them.

hosthatch

Just finishing editing the post with the deals. Should be in few minutes.

Some of the earlier 2 TB and 10 TB will be in stock, again, as there were some unpaid orders.

Any unpaid orders after this point will simply be cancelled within 30 minutes - and there will be no restocking, and no chance to pay for them once the unpaid order/invoice has been cancelled.

These are the last deals of this sales season from us. There won't be any deals after this, no flash sales, no original deals, etc. The next time we'll do any discounts will likely be next Black Friday.

We've been haunted by one particular NVMe model with a bad firmware - that randomly goes bad with no warning. We've phased most of them out, and are working on phasing out the rest so this issue doesn't happen. Sorry you had to face that issue.

"should be" "few minutes"

My credit card did not accept the payment for the 10TB anyway, I guess it wasn't meant to be

You guys were amazing at communicating the issue, at least with me, so no hard feelings. Everything has been working great since and I even ordered a NVMe again as I trust that it was a one time issue.
