Without going overboard, all I want to say is that its okay to ask for reasonable discounts - after all, who doesn't like to save money. But asking for 'unsustainable discounts' will inevitably end on a sad note, considering the time and effort that will be spent migrating away while possibly dealing with data loss or some form of financial loss, in case the host goes belly up within the billing cycle without advance notice.
After all, who can continue to literally pay out of ones pocket for others to use ones service, indefinitely? Promotion budget is finite, and sooner or later those infra bills will have to be paid out of revenue generated each month.
We have all seen hosts appear out of thin air, flood the forums with insane offers, grab cash and then disappear quite often around these parts. Figured this would be a good time to start being reasonable with a hint of caution - with today being the first day of 2021 and all
PS: This is just a random rant directed towards people fishing for unsustainable offers and loss leaders 24x7. This is NOT directed at the OP or any specific host.

Happy New Year @dustinc !
how about 2x2 for $9.65/year with any location?
I agree. The hosts who focused on the race to the bottom with pricing usually don't last long. I did say the word "unsustainable" but it was not meant to be literal. The focus was kinda more on "insane deals". Yes, I was somewhat shameless but I suppose it's slightly better than asking for outright giveaways.
Being on LET, many of us look across various offer threads and pick out the best deals. This leads to a bunch of time spent reading offers, and minor things such as checking reviews/ping etc. And what's worse, there's the never-ending cycle of cancelling "bad value" deals and getting better deals. I say all this but I realize I am likely to continue hunting for good deals in the future, but I hope I can fix this habit slowly.
I also took @smallbibi phrase something like give us "crazy/insane deals", actually I smile about "unsustainable", like yes! I want that too!! Of course he was kidding!! Anyways, people can ask anything, is about the provider that sets the rules ...
Same here. BF was the first time I learnt about Racknerd and indeed they seemed to be the first provider posting. Therefore, I decided to give it a go and try if it works.
So far it has 0 seconds of downtime - hopefully they continue to be solid
@dustinc - instead of doing give-away, i think it would be better to do flash sale - at least gotta cover electricity, rack rent and ip cost.
Wish you happy new year and successful business in 2021!

do the resellers have SSH access by default. (I really hate having to contact the provider to enable it per account.)
@dustinc
@dustinc fiber2 (cpanel reseller) have MailChannels enabled?
Picked up a VPS from RackNerd on BF and absolutely love it. Fast and simply works great. Do not hesitate to give them your business.
We'll do a giveaway in EU, I know @JabJab would take one too
The chef is aware, she mentioned that you should enjoy your rest, and to wish you a Happy New Year! She has surprises for you too!
Sounds awsome!
Happy New Year @DianTama -- always happy to see you around here within the community, you've been great! We sincerely value your business and wish you a prosperous New Year filled with tons of health and success!
Hello - we don't have it enabled by default - this is a feature that we only enable for those interested.
All you'd have to do is ticket in. I understand that contacting providers can usually be a pain, though we reply within a reasonable time, actually, quite fast.
Love it
