RamNode is dead and Buyvm is pretty much sold out
Other way around :-)
BuyShared is dead (not accepting new customers) and RamNode was sold.
Fran's never done any sales ever, as far as I recall.
BuyShared is so busy, they are dead
And we like it like that. Sustainability is important.
Nothing planned on either brand at the moment.
Not dead, just not taking new signups on it. Users are getting helped every day with whatever they need.
I think we did a coupon once for vpsboard but that's about it. We've not been big on coupons since you just end up going down a rabbits hole of bigger and bigger breaks.

I think he promised something special for black friday
He's gonna enable push-ups payment method.
Has he really promised something special for BF? (In the sense of a concrete promise.)
In the past, he has sometimes said "might", but this doesn't count as a promise.
Anyway, as others have noted, BuyVM don't have the habit of doing promotions on BF.
How realistic is it with Black Friday offers now that InMotion owns RamNode?
Last ask @Francisco himself
Not realistic. My guess is that either no BF offers or (at the very best) a modest one-time discount.

Sorry, this is off at the moment.
The plan was to open the plans that Anynode sold last year for sale but we have almost no room spare on the E5 nodes we spun up for the Anynode migrations to do it.
There was a lot of OpenVZ reseller users that made an absolute killing on the free migration to KVM's. One such case is someone getting like 90GB of RAM for...$90/month. Split over 30 VM's or so.
I don't expect anyone to cancel these plans, and if they do, it was because they forgot to pay, not because they didn't need or want it.

See, Fran never comes out to play on BF. Cancelling all my BuyVM plans in protest.
