You can use it for as many orders as you want as long as it's sill within the activity period, and the discount applies to every eligible item in the order. Hop on this deal before it hops away! 🐰🥚

Here is the link to our San Jose metered packages, which are summarised in the following table.

Hong Kong (New Location) Launch LET Special Offers:

Amidst the Easter festivities, today holds special significance for SalmonCloud – it marks our first expansion! We're egg-static to announce our new nest in Hong Kong!

🏃🏃Subathon (sort of)🏃🏃

To celebrate this special occasion, we are running a subathon-style prize draw. Any LET user who comments "Long live SalmonCloud!" during the activity period will enter this prize draw automatically.

The basic prizes are as follows,

  • 1 x San Jose High Performance VPS (Metered) - Large - billed monthly - recurring 50% off FOREVER
  • 3 x San Jose High Performance VPS (Metered) - Medium - billed monthly - recurring 50% off FOREVER

For each additional 100 comments of "Long live SalmonCloud!", we will add:

  • 1 x San Jose High Performance VPS (Metered) - Medium - billed monthly - recurring 50% off FOREVER

For each additional 200 comments of "Long live SalmonCloud!", we will add:

  • 1 x San Jose High Performance VPS (Metered) - Large - billed monthly - recurring 50% off FOREVER

TLDR

Final number of prizes (x is the final number of valid comments):
San Jose High Performance VPS (Metered) - Large: 1 + x // 200 (floor division)
San Jose High Performance VPS (Metered) - Medium: 3 + x // 100 (floor division)

Therefore the final number of prizes is kind of "proportional" to the comments we receive in the activity period. We add this rule to make sure the winning rate does not decline too much as more comments appear, so that people who miss out on the beginning days of our activity won't feel left out.

Enjoy this Prize Draw!

FYI, here are the specifications of the two prize draw servers.

Medium Large
3rd Gen EPYC Milan Core (vCPU) 2x 4x
PURE Gen 4 NVMe RAID-10 Storage (GB) 30 60
3200MHz DDR4 (GB) 2 4
Monthly Bandwidth (TB) 3 6
Public Network Port (Gbps) 10 10

Original Price ($/Month) 8 15
