@hosthatch count me in for RAID10 storage for BF.
Solid service and uptime
this is more expensive than the usual sale
Really looking forward to this. Hoping for free/affordable BGP.

Paid as per the offer for 2 years the double BW
2x disk
Don't buy then
You don't need to quote invoice numbers - if you've paid for two years, when the services are provisioned you should automatically get the bonuses, open a ticket if you didn't.
Any plans to add them in Singapore?
This is my first long-term VPS.
Hope for stable network and solid performance.

Ping to Chennai seems very high. It should be less than 50ms.
Edit:
Linode Chennai to Hosthatch Singapore,
This seems huge 🫡
London Promo.
Seems to be missing the 1.5x ram. Still good specs
what is meaning of 1.5X RAM for 2 year payments?
if 4GB paid 2-year, is it will be 4+(4x50%)=6gb? or 4+(4x150%)=10GB RAM?
What is the answer of 4*1.5?
Any plans for Ashburn VA or Washington DC?
I'm really happy with HostHatch. Got a storage vps last year to (3yr, 1TB, $65) to backup my important data. 100% happy with it. Today I got their new offer. YABS for Sweden:
Looks good.
Will there be any offers with lower prices and better configurations on Black Friday?
Maybe
Not at the moment. We use them as backup transit in Tokyo and Hong Kong. In all 3 locations, GSL is primary transit, and soon that will include Sydney as well.
We very much prefer GSL in APAC, even if it costs us nearly double (around 90% more to be exact) than CDN77, and that is not to say CDN77 is cheap by any measure.
GSL in our experience is the #1 transit in APAC due to their transit being pretty much all Telstra in the region (and some good extras like Softbank in Japan), as well as their own backbone which is great.
They do have issues here and there, especially when they have maintenances going on - as you see in your next comment with high latency to Chennai (and a bunch of other places). That should be fixed soon. But overall, it is still worth keeping them as primary even with the kinks here and there.
(I would be very happy to move all traffic to CDN77, since it would cut our bandwidth costs literally in half in APAC, but yeah...)
CDN77 has been amazing in US/EU though, we use them as primary transit in LA, Chicago and Stockholm, and will be soon in Vienna and Zurich as well.
We do not have any plans for any new US locations. I think we cover East, Central and West pretty well at the moment. In all 3 of these, we have our own multiple racks, with redundant transits, so that gives us a lot of control over offering a great service. Opening up a new location comes up with its own challenges.
Unlikely we will offer anything lower than $25 per year. No more aiming to be bottom barrel.
Thanks for sharing the offers @hosthatch!
Do you not have GleSYS/Portlane as an upstream in Stockholm anymore?
GSL is very much noticed and appreciated on this side of the keyboard
Buy now or wait for BF... The struggle is real
CDN77 now
How's the situation in Vienna and Oslo? Are those two keepers? I am asking this because I like them both as they just work, but there's not much talking about them in the recent years.
Would be interesting if someone else outside of Stockholm tested their routing to HostHatch Stockholm with CDN77
With Portlane, I get routed to a local PoP here in Malmö, and straight to Stockholm
With CDN77, I get routed south, to Denmark, and then back to Sweden (Copenhagen > Stockholm)
In actual milliseconds, there's a (negative) difference but very small
However, if they have a general lack of PoPs in Sweden, I can imagine the routing won't be great for people in other places around the country
Portlane has a pretty shitty network overall, so global performance will be worse. They take you through Finland because they own a (kinda nice) datacenter there.
CDN77 doesn't have presence in Finland, so stuff is up to transit and not up to their normal backbone. They're just taking you to their closest POP (Copenhagen) and then passing you over to Stockholm.
Basically both of them are doing the same thing, it's just that CDN77 has a larger global presence so the network will be better for everyone besides a few edge users (people living in Finland)
Except Glesys/Portlane has PoP's ALL OVER Sweden, I'd say for Swedish traffic, they're the best connected DC there is. Extremely premium.
I have a feeling CDN77 might be missing these?
