Ok
Hope HostSlick will not take back this xmas gift
I'm pretty sure that's not what they intended... but let's see.
Out of stock. It's gone!
nope. have fun and Merry Christmas.
Their email said 5 euro recurring discount for ALL PRODUCT (They even highlight All products).
So I think they will let whoever bought it can keep it as christmas gift!
Merry Christmas everyone! It’s 22:30 Dec 24th now in my country 🎉🎊🪅
we have some dedicated servers in stock we can use for more VPS, trying to restock later. For today i will be with the fam however later.
A wave of orders came and some packages went out
Somehow clients always find out quick about such easter eggs. Then it goes crazy.
Merry Christmas
🎄
I'm really curious if this disk speed is working as intended.
I always wonder how benchmarks like YABS manage to pull 900 Mbps+ bandwidth even with the disk I/O like 10 MB/s.
In real world if we upload or download a file with 10MB/s disk I/O, we can't go further than 100 Mbps bandwidth even if we want to.
Do YABS uses RAM instead of disk for the network test?
If not, can someone please explain me what kind of black magic is that?
Exactly that
iPerf stores the files in server memory rather than to the disk, so it doesn't get affected by slow speeds like in the OP.
Here's my Linux VPS Package II YABS
Not too bad for 2€ a month instead of 7.99€ !
Yes, it uses RAM. It's specifically a network tester, it would be a design fail to add disk bottleneck. SMH
too bad can't use coupon on annual billing
Bad advertising all the way.
The email states that the coupon is valid "on ALL products" (yes, with caps on ALL), but it's actually quite deceiving. I ordered an available LET from a few years ago, using the coupon code, and a day later my order was denied and refunded.
Also, for the love of Christmas and Santa, @HostSlick please put an UNSUBSCRIBE button in your emails. Personally I do not like to receive such time-wasting offers, because it took me some time to find a nice offer on your website to use that recurring coupon, so now I want to unsubscribe from such future offers, without having to waste time of your support too.
all means all products on website * https://hostslick.com
no products from hidden groups, no products which are already discounted, no promotions, should have stated that
What are these dirty hard drives values uses managnet tapes or an iscsi drive with connectivity to Afghanistan ?
is this a VPS or crappy woothosting type shared hosting server?
I believe these are bamboo disks located somewhere in the middle of nowhere and mounted as iscsi drives via wireguard site to site server.
True. You should have stated that. Books, products, offers, all should be clearly labeled to not create confusion for consumers; and email advertisements should contain an "unsubscribe" button or link.
Is this coupon publicly available or only for current customers through the newsletter?
Best deals all the way!
I got an XMAS 5€ recurring discount coupon from santa who transformed into @HostSlick
and get this KVM vps 4CPU \ 12GB RAM \ 180GB Disk for only $0.77 USD per month
I think I got an easter egg
this is awesome!! Thanks!

Wow
Where did you find this?
It is irrelevant. All special offers on their website can not be used with the coupon. I tried, it works to order, but service was removed and I got refunded a day later (even though coupon should work on "all" products).
That disk is awful, but the price looks good! Nice deal
Out of stock, when it will be available?
@HostSlick seems the code already expired? but it's not 28th yet, but thanks anyway
Are we sure this is hosted on a HDD and not a CDRW?
Can confirm code is not working anymore
Yes, @HostSlick should be adding more and more coupon 😊
