Worst deals ever
I've made a post on the cheapest VPS deals possible and now let's do a different one, the worst deals ever. Since we don't want to spoil anyone work, let's not cite any company, only specs and price.

Contabo offering 10% of discount in black friday lol
I like how the industry standard $5/1GB plan is $100 normally. Such wow.
YABS completed in 162 min 24 sec
YABS run by @jcolideles
Any deals still in the https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/200000/2024-extended-black-friday-cyber-monday-flash-sale-megathread#latest that had limited amounts.
Is that CPU older than me? Or is it setup so badly it just sucks? (Or oversold).
The only thing I imagine is for money laundering.

Can you imagine getting the "YABS cannot be completed" message at 162 minutes and 23 seconds?
A 10-ish offer from Virmache, located in Dallas, cuz it never went up. Whereas the best one is from Virmach, too, a $20/yr VPS which came with 4 vCores, 4 GB RAM and 3 IPs on the east coast.
Also used to 'justify' IP assignments, one of the companies that acts as a middle-man for IP leasing was fooled by something similar that they were operating a real hosting provider, had one of our /24s blacklisted a couple days after activation.
They need to have a store to show people but don't actually want sales.
Hetzner's reverse BF deal?
Insane. I've had Geekbench failed for no reason, than pass when reran. I never knew Geekbench just didn't have a timeout or "Yeah, screw this."

Location?
I think location also needs to be mentioned
Nothing can trump this one.
On a serious note, simply putting yabs doesn't make it a big deal.
E. G. GB 6 with score 32 isn't a big deal if it's let's $0.5 for 10 years.
One needs to show the package.
A weak machine doesn't necessarily constitute a worse deal unless the cost doesn't justify it.
if bw is 10Mbps what the point of 1Gb/s uplink?
@visualwebtechnologies
I'm really curious now. How many people actually fell for this amazing deal?
Nothing can beat these hosters.
I find more deals throughout the year than during Black Friday tbh
No price can justify a Geekbench score of 32
Jokes on you. My cloudcone server couldn't even run GB6.
and not because of too little RAM without SWAP?
Letting you know there are a 100 people sharing that Intel Atom.
I might be missing something but what do they do with the IPs if they dont want to sell them to consumers?
Quick google search shows the host is still in business, anybody up for an adventure?
They might need a whole /24 for BGP but only actually use a single IP.
