    Would be tough to offer that deal :)

    You did not use something like "impossible". You used "tough". As I see it, this means it is barely possible. You can use some tough offers do drive up the hype up by creating limited flash contests, adding also some tough requirements which filter potential abusers (so that you won't get tough load on your support in return for a deal created with kindness). It all needs a tough thinking. :wink:

    I'd love to see more deals focused on network quality rather than just huge RAM numbers. A stable 1GB VPS with good routing is more useful to me than an oversold 8GB box. Any providers planning something like that?

  • After M$ screwing everyone on OneDrive? Storage.

    @x1arch said: AMD Epyc
    4 cores
    16GB
    Unlimited block storage (fair use)
    Unmetered bandwidth (25Gbps, fair use)

    Looking for exact same budget 6.7 doller

    I thought it's $3/y, sorry, my bad.

  • Hoping to see some good large-storage deals this Black Friday!

    Something like a 16–20TB storage VPS with decent disk I/O, 4 vCPU, 16GB RAM, and at least a 1Gbps port would be great.

    EU preferred, with generous monthly traffic. Long-term billing discounts would be a nice bonus.

    Would love to see some competitive offers from established providers, especially HostHatch or other storage-focused hosts!

    Is that because Andrew has cleared you out?

  • Thinking about it some more, I’d be really keen on some deals aimed at existing customers for services that encourage sticking with those current services. Extra credit on renewal, cheaper upsizing for an existing service, get 20% extra storage when getting disk addons, etc. Things that encourage a renewal or doubling down on a service and let’s me be lazy and keep the services I already have. Potentially more sustainable if handled right too.

    Probably not the most exciting deals for megathreads, but these are often ones I often appreciate when providers I use do them and they apply to services I’m already happy with.

  • I would suggest that providers of low-cost, budget servers include a disclaimer noting the possibility of overselling and lower stability. The reality is that we get drawn in by the low prices, only to face ignored messages and delayed responses—plus, hosts often start backing out of the services they promised. I understand the situation, of course, but hosts really need to keep in mind that if you’re offering something, you should at least be upfront about the actual terms.
    Perhaps my wish sounds too naive...

    This is true, sadly some people while providers can do offers still expect the same types of offers from 3/4 years ago which for most people are no longer viable but providers will still do these and either oversell to make the hardware pay or end up closing.

    When oversold loads of threads start to appear about things being offline, slow performance. This may sound bias as a provider but sometimes it is best to pay maybe 20/30% more to another provider who is offering the same thing but will give you what you are paying for in terms of performance and uptime rather than go for the cheap option at the time, the server has nothing but issues or the provider just closes and you lose the lot sometimes more expensive is cheaper long term.
