11.11 Deals or wait for the Black Friday?

Hey, I need to get a VPS by November 27th. Should I get a VPS on 11.11 or wait for Black Friday (November 25th)? Which one would you suggest based on more providers participating and lower prices?

Wait of course.

11.11 is mostly a Chinese sale day, so unless you're buying from a Chinese/China-focused provider Black Friday will probably be better.
Wait for BFD unless you urgently need a VPS.
If you're from that region, then buy during the 11.11 sales.
Definitely BF
This year won't be much surprise.
Wait for 11.11 only if you've got tons of things added in your Shopee or Lazada cart
Ofc wait for BF unless you lives in China. If you want a vps just now, don't miss @dustinc 's 11.11 deals and @NDTN 's budget kvm.
Why not have both?
Depends on offers and location.
I need cheap HDDs
Nobody can really answer your question for you, it all comes down to whether you see a deal you like or not.
I would say that the BF deals on here go very quickly and are often very limited but insane deals (like 1x 10TB storage for $0.99) and there's thousands of people who are trying to grab it including all the scripts people have running to try to get the deals too. That's not to say there aren't "normal" deals too, there are some more normal ones like 20x or 50x of a very good deal and some people do more modest discounts with lots of stock.
But on BF, especially in the mega thread, you need to know exactly what your thresholds for a good deal are, because there's not really time to think about it, you have to take the plunge immediately if you're going to.
So, at lot of times, the 11.11 deals are more sane because there's less demand (unless it's something the Chinese market want!) and some providers have a some good deals in the week before BF too. Last year, I grabbed the KS-LE-1 about 6 days before BF and I think it's the deal I'm most pleased with.
But, if you have an absolute requirement for a server by the 27th, then you should probably buy something that fits the bill a bit in advance IMHO. If you want until after BF, most of the providers will be having a rest and maybe even will have run out of stock, so I'd say get something that fits the needs when you need it and treat BF deals as a bonus. But, like I say, it all depends on your needs and only you know that.
It depends if you are single or not.
Better wait 12.12 for Shopee
Try to have something on 11.11
If not satisfied, then wait for 25.11
If still not satisfied, then wait till world war 3
That works too.
But if you miss that, don't worry, there's always 1.1, 2.2, 3.3, 4.4, 5.5 etc.
You can take both
Use your real account @dahartigan 😂
Oh, I'm not dahartigan
Pinoy spotted!
BF is best it's when we get 50% off
Why not Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia or Thailand?
sometimes 11.11 deals are more better than Blackfriday.
If you have budget, go for both.
He's Indonesian AFAIK
