What's the best deal you ever got on a VPS?
What's the best deal you ever got on a VPS/dedi? It doesn't have to be a current deal.
Mine would be:
Online.net Kidechire (dedi) - 2GB RAM, 160GB, FR - €2/mo
MyRSK (vps) - 2GB RAM, 200GB HDD, UK - $20/yr
ChicagoVPS (vps) - 2GB RAM (+2GB burst), 50GB HDD, NJ - $8.70/yr
VPSDime (vps) - 512MB RAM, 7GB SSD - $7/yr
The Kidechire, MyRSK and VPSDime VPSes are really good so far (although just using the first two for storage). When I first got the CVPS box it was terrible and always dropping pings for the first month, but seems to be OK now and for the price it's a pretty good low storage seedbox. Although this was only a "1 year" price, it goes back up to $29/yr after.

Kidechire and Crissic's 15/year was best deal for me as it was my first dedi and VPS.

My $15/year plan in Switzerland with BlueVM was awesome until it stopped working and they stopped caring. My $38/year 4GB, 80GB 8CPU plan with WeLoveServers was also a real workhorse while I had it.
Other than that, the Kidechire pretty much can't be beat in terms of a deal, I just wish I'd managed to snag a second one.
90% discount by Prometeus for april fools day 3 years ago. I still have my 4.80€/year 512MB OpenVZ VPS
Other stuff: Obviously the Kidechire and the 3€/month Kimsufi.
The best deals I ever got were full retail price paid for BuyVM, Ramnode, and SecureDragon.
I never have a need for such high RAM boxes so I usually prefer cheaper low RAM stuff (or high storage)
Damn that's an offer I would love though. Is that in Italy or USA though?
Italy, i don't think they had a US location back then
Even more awesome! If you are interested in transfering it, one time.maybe?:DD
What's really awesome about both of these deals? Not only that both are known, reliable hosts, but equally impressive, that the deals are always there, not just once in a blue moon
Wow. I would kill for this deal, missed it.
My favorite deal of all time is the kidéchire, obviously
Also:
$5/year 64MB Secure Dragon OVZ in New Jersey
$10/year 512MB Bandwagon Host OVZ in The Netherlands
£5/year 64MB HTTP Zoom in the United Kingdom
18€/year 512MB GinerNet in Spain
And I am reaching to the conclusion that I am a dirt cheapskate.
Currently searching for some cheap KVM storage in Europe, but that's going to be difficult :P

This, you really can't go wrong with LES.
I got 4 of dr.server's 150GB for $15/yr XenStorage deals and he was nice enough to combined them into a single VPS for me. It works out to 8 cpu cores, 4 IPv4, a ton of IPv6, 3GB of ram (after that Chicago mess when he doubled everyone who had to relocate) and 600GB of storage for what works out to be $5/month.
Damn, you got one of those? I wanted one so much
No i get 2
Would you consider selling one to me?
Sorry already filled with clients

payed $7 cancel VPS and its still online today and in WHMCS says Terminated
Best deal I ever got was my CommercialMedia server (they didn't have any HDDs in stock so I got an SSD instead). Had that server for over a year and a half (only paid for 11 months). The network was amazing and the uptime was better than my Dacentec box.
Basically I paid for 11 months, then they stopped accepting online payments (I had to mail them a check if I wanted to pay for it) so I put in a cancellation request before my next invoice. It stayed online for another 6 months before they finally cancelled it but I got a lot of use out of it (and that unmetered 100Mbps port) during those 6 months.
I wouldn't really post that if i were you as their active on this forum and may go hunting for your vps lol.
Wouldn't be hard to find either.
