Oh no, NOW we look like a joke!
Did you just casually copy and paste the list into Porkbun and bulk buy without looking at what you bought
Damn, should’ve posted some, with payment links to my PayPal 😂
Totally my fault there! You can put "we may look like a joke but we aren't, LevelOneServers did this to us" in the footer of your new host just to clear it up

@VirMach
Some quick remarks:
No... I had to go to our director of technology and finance department for an approval. Then, they ran it through our algorithm for success™ and after a few meetings, we decided it was the right move. We checked for any and all errors, and decided to move forward with the purchase.
I suppose for these cases, we wouldn't be a good fit.
Also, to the person who selected September 6969 for their service start date on the poll, nice.
What did these plans look like?
Maybe we'll allow people to pick some type of perk for paying more if they want to, such as perk #1 we promise not to deadpool for at least 90 days and perk #2 access to full 10Gbps shared port.
I just need to find a chassis at this point. I think it'd be better if I flew to Amsterdam with all the hard drives and just got one there. Everything else, we'll have in stock by Friday. I just wasn't planning on setting up a storage server in Amsterdam this early.
That's $35/yr, equivalent to €29.71/yr, which is 1% cheaper. Last I tested the IO in VirMach Storage VPS is much faster than HostSolutions.
good,I am waitting for you @virmach
@VirMach trying to put themselves out of business. Please don't?
Example: https://hostsolutions.ro/eng/hosting/virtual-private-server-vps-ssd - modulo insane promos
Of course. Almost any other providers products are faster, but then, HS was/(is?) much cheaper especially as probably most servers were sold via insane promos.
As long as it worked it basically boiled down to cheap but (of course) not particularly fast. Although since some months HS got much better nodes, E5-26xxv4 and Zen (a couple of which I benchmarked).
The other point it boiled down to is that HS VPS was OK for non-critical stuff with very low support needs (and patience) but if one needed good and fast support and reliability (and better performance) one was way better off with quality providers like e.g. NexusBytes / @seriesn.
What. So you are telling me the thousands of < $5/yr VPS, especially hundreds of $1/yr $2/yr VPS sold by VirMach are not "insane" enough?
It is always hard to compare one to another, maybe you also want the similar bad English communications, low uptime, inconsistent performance, fake promises and and also some free VPS?
VirMach VPS might not be as reliable/fast support than more premium providers like NexusBytes but it is certainly more stable than HostSolutions.
Uhm, I made no statement re @Virmach. At all. Also I did not judge (or even mention) their prices, promo, speed, support, quality. At all.
So, in case you are under the impression that I am somehow against Virmach or that I consider some other provider (e.g. HS) better or worse than Virmach then that impression is baseless and wrong.
You just mentioned their prices.
But it is true that I misread this as "I don't think you fully matched everything" so I agree that is my mistake.
No, I mentioned that their "refugee" offers could (IMO) be priced slightly higher than the original HS products.
Thank you, no problem. I'm pleased to see my liking you gets confirmed.
Sorry am I looking at this wrong, what was the promotion?
Maybe you can refer to this thread for AIO promos of all providers in Black Friday/Cyber Monday. Do note that it is just BF/CM promos and is most likely unsustainable.

(You can also Ctrl-F on first page of that thread "HostSolutions" and go to the link to know more)
Basically their latest BF/CM deal looks like this:
Available in Romania / Norway
They also did 50% credits promo every once a while - so you get 50% more credits.
Sorry, I don't remember the details, I would have to use the LET search function just like you.
@VirMach just check his list of discussions he started for deals he ran here https://www.lowendtalk.com/profile/discussions/cociu
If you do 3.6 TB HDD (raid 10) at 76€/y in Amsterdam ... please send me the orderlink per dm before making it public. Dont want to miss that rollercoaster, that's for sure...
I feel like people still aren’t fully grasping that the insane deals were just loss leaders to market the credit promos. The real money was in the prepaid credit scam.
Alright so outside of any store credit ponzi scheme, I think those big SSD plans are do-able to some degree and very interesting, if there's actually anyone who would want something like that. We've actually been wanting to do something like that for a while now but I keep talking myself out of it thinking no one would really have a use for it.
We were leaning toward doing NVMe @ 5x the speed for $30/M on the 1TB package.
But, let's go through these really quickly:
We basically already do these, so let's skip over that.
Really, really weird pricing structure.
Goes from 20 Euros per TB --> 12.50 Euros --> 10 Euros --> 10 Euros --> 10 Euros --> 9.33 Euros --> 15 Euros. Please do correct me if I'm wrong on any of these I'm just quickly skimming over everything.
So, realistically, we could get to about 17 Euros per TB for RAID 10 SSD.
If we get very very frugal with the parts, and perhaps lose some performance along the way, we could hit 12 Euros per TB. These could actually make for pretty interesting "regular" plans too, as in we could probably easily sell them on our website to subsidize these deals and allow us to actually replace these SSDs as they die from being destroyed with writes.
(edit) If we sacrifice speed a little bit, we could theoretically go as low as 7 Euros a month per TB if we wanted to really push things. But then at that point...
We could probably only do that with two years prepaid, once hard drives go back to their regular price, otherwise at that size and price it's very easy to blow through our entire hardware budget. So $180 for 2 year is theoretically possible, yes. Very, very theoretically.
We'll most likely have to stick with the extrapolated pricing from the 1TB deal though, as in the 4TB (3720GB~ usable) plan would be $140 per year instead of $90 (76 Euros.)
Have what you want, unless Romania location, but they are DMCA ignored and paying with BTC

This can replace Hostsolutions. However you may check their terms before order.
@hosthatch offer 1 core, 1 gb ram, 1 tb hdd, 10 tb bandwidth in Chicago.

And now they're doing 100% less service
Can we now expect Virmach's storage offer in the BF flash sale?
I am not OP but I barely used it. I only need 1TB storage. Even a 1TB traffic will do. Hell for a sweet deal even 500GB traffic will do.
All I need are 1TB storage, good speed when I download Linux ISOs (from reputed private Linux ISO providers) to my home laptop 3-4 times a week (totalling 20-25GBs) - via Synching.
As for ratio on those private ISO providers I couldn't care less even if there's 0 upload. I will just need to keep it connected for 3-4 days that's all. There's barely any I/O usage but I anyway limit I/O when I setup even before I start using it.
Assuming you allow/tolerate this. If not, please ignore this.
sign up for the virmach offer it's on the first page @VirMach can you confirm is this allowed?
