[DE/EU] VPS SX from 1blu (4 Cores, 8GB RAM, 120GB SSD, KVM/Virtuozzo) for 1€/Month for 12 Months

I found this 1blu offer for a VPS:
4 Cores, 8GB RAM, 120GB SSD, KVM/Virtuozzo, traffic included, 12 months for 12€.
After that period the price goes up to 5,90€/month.
The server location is probably FFM, Germany.
https://www.1blu.de/server/vserver/#

I'll post the YABS as soon as my VPS is ready.

Select 12 months, not 1 month. And don't forget to cancel it. The cancelation period is 1 month. So write it down in your calendar for the end of November 2023.

    I guess that at least EU users should not encounter problems. If you can pay via direct withdrawal from a bank account with an IBAN it should work.
    They don't seem to have an English version of the website, so you would have to use a translator service like Google translate.

    I added [DE/EU] to the title.

  • that promotion has been there for a long time. I think its only for German subscribers and there is a lot of fine print one must examine.

    This is for Germans only, don't even try to register if you not from DE.

    1blu seems to be a massive thing like 1and1/strato/GoDaddy - it will be 'meh' VPS [stable, but relatively slow], but for this kind of price it can be nice playground.

  • 1blu is by far not as big as those you mentioned, but quite long in the market and very reliable. I took their offer last year but ended up cancelling because I had it as playground and to monitor performance only and they also restructered their products a bit and with changed prices as well.

    however, just ordered this 1€ special again, let's see if I get another box back for the next year ^^

    @ehab said: that promotion has been there for a long time.

    not really, it only now came back, at least with 12 month subscription, the offers before where 3 or 6 month or only on that very small VM 2R vps ;-)

    @s33b you can switch from virtuooz guest (which is rather similar to being OVZ) to KVM wihtin their panel. it's bit confusing first, as to what can be done there and how. but works noinetheless ;-)

    Looks like I can only install it from an ISO image if I choose KVM. Was it the same for you?

    Here is my YABS for Debian 11 / Virtuozzo on the freshly set up server:

    to be fair I can't remember... waiting for the new box to be deployed, after that I'll have a look...

    I installed Debian 11 via the ISO upload and VNC now. Less convenient than just selecting an OS from the menu, but if I don't have to reinstall it for the year it should be fine.
