Any opinions about lifetime VPS from Silicom
I stumbled upon this offer: https://silicomnetwork.com/lifetime-shared-hosting/
I usually do not love lifetime deals since it gives huge incentives for an exit scam.
Any outage data/experience with the host?
thx

while that is not a VPS I'd say $12 would be fine if you could get 3-4 years of use out of it. question is - do you think you can get that much from that company?
How about a similar lifetime deal from our very own @MikePT?

shared hosting is still running fine, api shows otherwise because api got ddosses.... -.-
All good here!
Not believing anything in lifetime product, it is just illogical.
Hello, is a shared hosting, not vps.
We have been offering services for more than 25 years, you can verify with archive.org
Okay, this is some big d energy.
I already have a oracle vps running for testing my torrent archive project. > @szymonp said:
I already have some oracle vps running, for the beginning of my hobby project (https://github.com/UnrelatedWorks/suitcase) I don‘t really need storage. I want to find out how many peers are necessary to still retrieve your suitcase.
sry, my fault. I looked at the capabilities of the German data centres and they mentioned vps and not shared hosting. So logically I assumed it’s a VPS with some addons on top.
That‘s a first good sign, but name and domain aren‘t everything. You cannot grantee that the company will be bought out.
You don’t have any disclosures of where your company is located, what the regulatory body is, who your spokesperson for GDPR request are etc…
Owncube has been around for 12 years and they have an uptime of 54.080% (insane!) the last 7 days. I almost went for a lifetime subscription there.
What about doing a 3 year plan for 5$ ?
Lifetime deals, are unsustainable from a company perspective, hence why Telegram finally went to actually "making money/profit". So eventually they will either scam and exit, or fold because they can't afford it anymore, or just start charging and either you leave or pay.
Usually, lifetime deals are used as an incentive to get market share, then it goes to paid and company says they can't afford it anymore. Be weary of the deal, only put something there you can afford to loose.
yes, thank you for confirming my doubts.
