    After you helped us sell our first 10Gbps server in its entirety, here's the 2nd one with the same specs but at a lower price!

    • You can get up to 25% extra discount by paying over a longer period of time!

    VPS SSD NVMe 10Gbit Advanced

    • Starting from 15.00 €14.55/mo
    • Location Germany (IP Geolocation based on ASN: Romania)
    • 2x Dedicated vCore AMD EPYC™ 7351P
    • Nested Virtualization Enabled

    • Storage SSD NVMe 60GB
    • Network 10Gbps Best-effort

    The initial order form was never even out of stock..

    We never had any stock control.
    This offer is limited directly by number of IPs which can be attached

    21% VAT, does this include USA buyers?

    No only EU buyers

    All EU based sellers must charge VAT to all USA based buyers. Is this not true?

    No, that is not true. @naranjatech is correct. Providing goods and services to non-EU buyers is considered export and treated as zero tariff, meaning that 0% VAT.

    I just had to create a user account first with locale information, log in for the order/purchase, and then VAT 0% appeared at checkout.

    The disk IO looks kind of low for the yabs of an SSD raid 10 setup @FAT32 unless they are limiting the IO? Sorry to hear about your experience (I was surprised since I nearly bought the deal). A few years ago I was a customer and a guy named G who answered my tickets was great. I guess something changed.

    It is an old server,

    with raid10 4 x 2TB SSD disks.

    but already quite used over time

    Are you sure these are not some rusted old spinners sold as SSD?

    You might want to have a look at it before keeping such offers active and selling them as "lifetimes". Such lifetime of rusted spinners would be really short. Nowadays there are MicroSD cards which can reach such speeds.

    Yes, they are SSD, it is a server that has been working well for several years,

    It is a server similar to the one we have in Chicago

    We have already announced that we will update the HDD disks of our first Lifteme offer that we made in 2022 and we will do the same for customers who obtained the 2023 offer

    If you want to know more about how this type of offers works, you can see them here: https://www.georgedatacenter.com/clients/index.php?rp=/knowledgebase/18/LifeTime.html

    And if any customer has a problem with this offer, they can always open a support ticket.

    The longevity of our Lifetime VPS depends on the hardware.

    So, as soon as hardware is dead, VPS would be deleted and plan is ceased?

    At the beginning of a new year, Amazon decided to offer an interesting gift to all Prime Members.

    An update on Prime Video

     
    Dear Prime member,

    We are writing to you today about an upcoming change to your Prime Video experience. Starting February 5, Prime Video movies and TV shows will include limited advertisements. This will allow us to continue investing in compelling content and keep increasing that investment over a long period of time. We aim to have meaningfully fewer ads than ad-supported TV channels and other streaming TV providers. No action is required from you, and there is no change to the current price of your Prime membership. We will also offer a new ad-free option for an additional £2.99 per month* that you can sign up for here.

    Prime membership offers compelling value. Prime members enjoy a wide range of shopping, savings, and entertainment benefits, including:

    • Access to Prime Video Channels, which provides an unmatched selection of subscription channels like Paramount+, hayu, TNT, and more —with no extra apps to download. Customers only pay for the ones they want, and can cancel anytime.
    • Exclusive deals and shopping events like Prime Day.
    • Ad-free listening of 100 million songs in shuffle mode and millions of podcast episodes with Amazon Music.
    • Unlimited ultrafast grocery delivery on orders over £60, with 2-hour slots from Amazon Fresh or directly from your local Morrisons, Co-op or Iceland supermarkets. Available in select postcodes.
    • Unlimited full-resolution photo storage and 5GB for video with Amazon Photos.
    • Prime Gaming benefits.
    • Thousands of books, magazines and comics with Prime Reading.
    • Unlimited delivery on your favourite restaurants and takeaways with a 1-year Deliveroo Plus subscription, at no additional cost. Minimum order value £25.
    • Access to a discounted rate of two tickets for £10 at standard ODEON cinemas, or two tickets for £15 at Odeon Luxe. Offer valid Monday-Thursday.

    And, you can expect additional features and programs added in the future for our Prime members.

    As mentioned above, no action is required from you. If you wish to sign up for the ad-free option, you can click here to sign up. And, as always, if you have questions about your Prime membership, you can manage your account here. You can also view your next renewal date, manage, or cancel your membership free of charge by visiting your account.

    Thank you for being a valued member of Amazon Prime.

    Sincerely,
    The Amazon Prime team
