Best deal you've found on this site that is still active?

Littlecreekhosting 7$ month 8 core 16gb ram and massivegrid costs about the same going annual. Are they reliable companies?
Comments
@LittleCreek is stable hosting.
@MassiveGRID is exit scam.
I always thought @Francisco BuyVM to be the most reliable for the price and the general stance towards freedom of speech. Buy a Starbucks less, get BuyVM instead... IIRC, a node fails every now and again, but you should have backups regardless, and Stallion has snapshots... so you should be more than ok.
But, personally, I'd go for BuyVM myself... to avoid headaches with stupid bot notices.
think hetzner is a better deal than buyvm? I already like racknerd and hetzner, was looking at these others because they have way more resources at the same price.
Most overselling is reliable until the point at which the node starts to get filled. Unfortunately.
Unironically coloncrossing $10/y for IPv4 with 20TB bw
Lack of ipv6 limits the usefulness for adding a below-cost IPv4 to a v6-only server, but it’s still great for adding a static v4 to a home cgnat connection
This is an excellent offer, (buying annually), and some of the nodes are now running Ryzen 9950X

4 Arm-based Ampere A1 cores, 24 GB RAM, 200 GB storage, usable as 1 VM or up to 4 VMs, multiple IPV4 addresses, for free.
by still active i meant deals people can grab lol, thats sick
is this oracle?
@berohost has an amazing deal. I’ve been using their service for over 6 months now and haven’t experienced any downtime or needed their support so far.
Here’s what I got:
6 AMD EPYC cores
24 GB DDR4 ECC RAM
300 GB NVMe RAID 10 storage
25 TB bandwidth @ 2 Gbps shared
1 IPv4 address
1 /64 IPv6 subnet
3 backup slots
Linux and Windows
All of this for just €8.90 per month!
Grabbed a 7$ 8 core 16gb 160 that should get the ram doubled from littlecreek and the new years 4core 6b ram 140gb ssd from racknerd for 60$ a year so far.
Can anyone confirm this about MassiveGRID? Haven't seen anything negative about them.
that was their 2024 black friday sales, in 2023 they had the same sales with unlimited (330TB) bandwidth and it’s still active: https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/190071/black-friday-offers-are-here-dedicated-servers-from-19-m-colocation-from-29-m-more/p1
that might be the Oracle free tier
personally I haven't yet gathered the courage to try to use it (afraid of million dollar bills) but some use it and enjoy it
Im using it 3 years+, paid 0$ and cannot even remember any downtime
the uptime is just amazing that sometime I think is this really free server lol
free tier account or pay as you go account?
Free tier
I happened to hear that people on PAYG plan get priority in the queue for the free tier servers, and they are never charged (Personally I’m not on PAYG because I joined about 5 years ago when there were no issues getting servers).
As a PAYG Oracle user, I can confirm.
massivegrid is shit
same
Can confirm. Free tier Oracle for years. 4 or 5 maybe. Not maxing out resources but so far so good. Uptime is great. Never had a single outage.
Loads of threads have been closed which I assume means the offer is no longer valid. Sad times
Is it true that they suspend accounts if they're idling though?
It happens but not in a very clear pattern. I know users with long idling VPSs who don't experience it for some reasons. It's recommended to log into the site maybe twice a month and occasionally run something on the VMs during inactivity periods, and still keep your fingers crossed
im payg customer and i actually pay a very very small amount
i have 0 issues
Yes, so I have been told by others. I host a website on one instance and dns on the other. Nothing fancy .
Bought a 2vcpu, 8gb ram, 126gb from MassiveGrid. I have buyers remorse. Installing Debian (net install) from their iso. It's approaching 14 hrs and I'm just getting to the grub install.
Sent a ticket to support to troubleshoot performance. Got a reply 10 hrs later "The vps is running. Are you still have performance issues?"
And thats why they are shit. Lowest hardware quality and promises they wont fullfill
2 years on PAYG. I can also confirm the Oracle free tier ressources is a great offer. No downtime. No bills. Up to 4 VMs. Just watch out for the 10TB egress limit.
