DatabaseByDesign's Freedom Day Dedi Special

Welcome back to the family.... normally this family is blood in, blood out but we'll make an exception this time
You must be OG if you remember our PayPal only days...
I like this guy.
That because they weren't used to your yellow blood and blue semen. Sometimes they need to realize Yeti's are not normal people FFS.
Thank you for bringing this up to the community. The Yeti population is a severely underserved populous in the Dedicated Server industry simply b/c of their non-human bodily fluids.
I'd like to announce the foundation we're opening F.A.Y.M - Fight Against Yeti Microagressions.
For every dollar you donate we'll put a Yeti sticker on the server we provision and send you a picture. Show your support for FAYM today!
p.s. we're likely just going to buy the tech's beer with your donated money so unless you want properly configured servers I'd think twice about donating before you get your server.
underserved*
I will wait until Wednesday to donate, then.. wait, fuck, I could get a nice box on the lowdown. My name is Shaved Hamster. Please to do the needful. Scott- you are a dick, but I love you. Now give me an IP this decade. Thanks!
Dammit!!!
You pop'ed our grammar cherry.
yeah it's mainly the reason I left - no credit card payment option and no ticket system - only had paypal and email support back then
The Yeti pop is is higher them ever, just ask the show Mountain Monsters. They need these to get the word out and to find dates of course. They need to shore up the numbers for when they decide to take over the world.
As promised here, got mine last night (ordered 7/5)
Awaiting OS reload now. Ticket response indicated that it'd likely be a few hours
Still waiting for my order to go through the fraud protection.
Just a quick update.
All orders on 7/7 will be provisioned tonight.
7/8 orders will be provisioned Monday.
Out of stock on these systems. We put up a new special which is basically this server /w the 32GB included so no more of these 'Freedom' 16G versions.
Thanks for everyone's comments, feedback, general oddball behavior and bring the Yeti problem to our attention.
Fun special for us to run. Hope you guys and gals put those systems to some good use.
Just to clarify, if you were awaiting verification that may still be in process but we have systems set aside for you if approved - out of stock won't impact your order when/if approved.
Have link to 32G?
It's on their main page: https://www.databasebydesignllc.com/
$37/mo
@DatabaseByDesignLLC You need to do a yeti special of some kind.
Any ETA on how long would I need to wait before the verification is finished?
Got one! All seems fine.. except it also stall/hangs when doing benchmarks scripts like for example the bellow one that works on all my other servers hosted on different providers.
wget --no-check-certificate bench.sh && mv "index.html" "bench.sh" && chmod +x bench.sh && ./bench.sh
Anyone has any idea why this bench issue happens?
Thankfully, I logged off before hurting the wallet a little more than it generally likes.
I hereby propose Give the Yeti a Dedi (tm) project! Obviously, everyone gives, and I take the DbDLLC service and test it throughout the bloodline.
$100 Setup fee tho
Yupp. Looks like they're after yearly payers (no setup fee).
It was 6hrs for the OS load (from opening ticket to completion). Not too shabby for a weekend when I'm sure they're being overrun. So far, so happy.
Just curious. Why didn't you use the IPMI to install the OS yourself?
The firmware was pretty outdated. I didn't feel like looking for ancient Java to make it happen. It's an iDRAC and you get the 'operator' role. There's probably other software than the HTML portal to make it happen. I guess the honest answer would be... laziness?
Fair enough
Need to wait for two more days.
really no offence or bad intention meant, but how this sounds and look reminds me of @VortexMagnus who also appeared suddenly and made people jump on his train by throwing one dedi special after another...
okay, no $5 atom in uk yet ;-)
Meh.. Seeing that DbD has been around for a long time (member who had previously had their services for years had posted earlier in this thread), I don't think they're really in the same class as VN. Additionally, they're hosting from their own DC with their own hardware, not reselling CC stock.
Yeah, DbD seems to have been created in 2002. In contrast, VortexNode seems to have been created in 2013. DbD is four times as old as VortexNode!
