IncogNET turns 4 years old! 4GB RAM, 40GB NVMe, 4TB @ 4Gbps... 4 YEARS special inside! + FLASH DEALS

IncogNET turns 4 years old!
It's crazy how the time flies. IncogNET officially turns 4 years old in April, although technically we began in November of 2020, previously as INCOG.HOST.
IncogNET is truly a "bootstrapped" and self-funded passion project that has grown into something great. In 2020, I was working fulltime in a machine shop, machining and processing diecast aluminum parts for the auto-industry. Politically, a lot was happening towards the end of 2020 but one thing I was observing was more calls and support for online censorship on major platforms. Why was big tech so awful? Why is speech, that would be legal to say and shout from the sidewalk in an American city getting banned on what is now the modern day town hall and soapbox? I've been in the industry in one way or another since (checks my WebHostingTalk registration date: 01-02-2002 )... both as a consumer of services and having previously owned a small hosting company and having worked in various roles for many others, both big and small. I wanted to jump back into the hosting industry, focusing on two things: End user privacy and supporting free speech.
I didn't have much to start with. INCOG.HOST was literally began on a 8GB BuyVM VPS with DirectAdmin and a DDoS protected IP. We did shared hosting only at the time, with the twist that you could opt-in to have your website mirrored to both Tor, I2P and Yggdrasil networks as a form of supporting alternative networks and as a means of bypassing censorship. All earnings, though quite small during this period, were invested back into the business to support it's growth.
Sometimes I look at our old website and think it looks better than our current one. It's nice to look back and see what I was attempting to achieve and offer then, and compare to where things are now. It's motivation to continue, no matter how slow the progress may sometimes seem.
Anyway, over the last 4 years I've seen my vision slowly but surely come into fruition. It's been challenging and it's been frustrating at times, it's been trying but ultimately I believe we're on the right track. IncogNET is by all standards of measurement still a small business with a slow and sustainable growth, achieved with no outside influence or funding. I'm proud of that. This isn't an easy industry to succeed in, yet here we are, year number 4, and the future looks bright. Slow and steady wins the race, I think.
Anyway, I'm proud that IncogNET is officially turning 4 years old and am happy to share some deals and promotions with LowEndTalk.
What is Internet Speech & Privacy LLC?
As many of you already know, IncogNET has several other non-hosting related projects such as a VPN service, email (on hold at the moment), and a DNS service in the works. These all deserve to have their own site, own branding and be available for purchase outside of IncogNET as well. (But will always still be available via IncogNET). Additionally, I have plans for another brand unrelated to IncogNET that will essentially act as a more "business oriented" rebrand of IncogNET, offering the same services that IncogNET does but under a new name. Internet Speech & Privacy LLC is simply acting as the parent to IncogNET LLC, and will be the parent to future brands as well. These brands will share the same network resources and infrastructure, so I believe this will make management of all of this a bit easier in the long term. Plus, I just really like the name and using the acronym, "ISP". 
This account (@ISP) will be used for posting sales threads on LowEndTalk, though you can still tag me (@MannDude) if you need something related to IncogNET. My Patron Provider tag was expiring this month for my MannDude account so I renewed it for @ISP instead. Many other providers here operate in this fashion, and the mod and admin team are fine with it, so no worries there. You may see some ISP branding in the future, namely for things like DNS (Ex: ns.isp.st, ns.isp.vg, ns.isp.gd, etc, etc) but functionally, nothing has really changed. Internet Speech & Privacy is still ran by me (MannDude). This wasn't a sale, merger, or anything like that. It's simply just some business restructuring for the purpose of accommodating some longer term, bigger picture plans.
New plans and pricing for IncogNET Virtual Servers
It's true! We're introducing new plans and a new pricing structure for IncogNET Virtual Servers for 2025.
EXISTING CUSTOMERS NEED NOT WORRY: Your plans and pricing remains the same. This includes those on our stock website plans and those who purchased previous promotional plans. More details on that later, though. I just wanted to touch base on this before I share our new plans/pricing.

Over the last four years, our plans and pricing structure has remained consistent. Our hardware deployments for VPS nodes has been pretty consistent too, which has led to observations on how the available hardware resources we deploy could be better used. Our new plans represent this, offering resources and pricing that is more comparable to providers like Digital Ocean, Vultr, Linode, etc. Even though LowEndTalk is not our main target market, we will, of course, still post special promotions here from time to time as well. 
FOR EXISTING CUSTOMERS: As mentioned above, your plans and pricing is not changing. You continue to receive what you paid for. You are not being migrated to new plans. You are not having your pricing adjusted. You will remain on our older deployment system using Virtualizor, while these new plans are using newer nodes and hardware and being deployed with VirtFusion. Should you wish to move to one of the new plans, you'll need to self-migrate by ordering a new VPS and cancelling your old VPS. I'll be happy to provide a discount to those who wish to do this for themselves, but we are not going to migrate individual user's virtual servers to new nodes and have our older plans mixed in with our new plans.
LowEndTalk Exclusive Birthday Promotions
For our FOURTH birthday, it seems fitting to offer some deals with some FOURS in them, right?
Try this on for size:
- 2 vCPU
- 4GB of RAM
- 40GB of NVMe Storage
- 4TB of Bandwidth per month
- 4Gbps port speed

No, the CPU wont' be increased to 4 cores just to make it match the theme.

I'll manually adjust your renewal date to add the 4th year after your order is placed and paid for. No need to open a ticket. No need to comment your order number in this thread.

Happy birthday and good luck with sales!
Later.
VirtFusion is weird. It's trying to auto-deploy new orders on hypervisors that are currently offline for maintenance. Trying to terminate and recreate them has weird workflow loops.
Will get this sorted. I've got a node specifically for this special ready, which is where these are supposed to be deployed.
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Already with you for a few domains, perhaps, a server soon too?
Congrats on 4 years @ISP! Genuinely very excited to see this day.
It does look real comfy.
p.s. I hate that now I have to put more effort in to tag you. You're 4th on the ISP list and first on the MAN list.
You posted at 11:11 - Make a wish.
You know what we wish for @crunchbits
I posted first comment in this thread, may I also get the opportunity to do one once ?
A gift for first comment?
Any plans to Open a POP at Europe @MannDude ?
I wish for a deal at incognet that has @crunchbits in the promo name
https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/4349271/#Comment_4349271
Apparently, it was 9:11 my time.
I wish for: a coupon "godblesstheking" and its:
Happy 4!
Also incognito.io is taking forever to load both on my WiFi and mobile data. Location: South Asia
my wish for @ISP was happiness and prosperity but I guess deals work too
We're migrating from Worldstream to Databarn, so we'll be in Amsterdam proper probably in April or early May. Though we will not be accepting orders in this location for likely a few months. We're only getting enough hardware setup to accommodate existing customers. One /24 will also need to renumber, but it's the one /24 in this location with the least amount of active users so it'll impact fewer people.
Will email those impacted by this planned migration in the coming days, and again closer to the time of migration with additional details. This migration will be old, legacy plans (Virtualizor) being migrated to new hardware also running Virtualizor. There will be no Virtualizor to VirtFusion migrations in any of our POPs.
As far as other POPs in Europe go... I'm not sure. Going to focus more on the speech side of things and push our KC POP to the standard I want for it, as a strong hold for speech, then we'll work out some plans outside the US.
