The vps deal is recurring. A rep mentioned it over on discord : D
Unmetered 100Mbps! Recurring Discount! Nice offer!
What's the discord?
Thanks.
It’s LET’s Official Discoed
Hail Eris!
OVH struck a (dis)c(h)ord.
That's not what's stated on the site. Some random joe on a discord does not beat TOS.
Accept terms and conditions:
Useless.. Dedicated servers are only 1st month discount. And even you can't pay for entire year.
Hmm. Reminds me about a similar promotion for their SG cloud VPS launch which also only for the 1st year (IIRC they had a later on offer that gave recurring pricing at the launch price).
Confused here as well - because usually like the KS or SYS offers, the wording is as long as you hold the contract the price will be maintained.
Thinking...
I asked their support about recurring
He replied:
Hello again,
Hope you are well rested. Apologies for not adding a note earlier but I have confirmed thru https://us.ovhcloud.com/black-friday that VPS will be indeed billed at $18, or $17.88 to be exact.
If you have any further questions or concerns please feel free to reach out via chat or support ticket.
Regards
I think it's still not clear enouth...
Don't remember there was ever recurring BF deals at ovh.
After the promotion period ends, you will be charged the regular price of $35.88 USD.
do they give out /64 or one ipv6, or none from this location?
Pretty sure it's the same as the other locs for VPS, single IPv6 address. But I'm not 100% certain.
I can’t seem to find the text?
The vps hdd space not enough....no love
Hmm... : /
On the contrary I believe this response clearly and explicitly tells an implicit truth which is, people don't like it though, this BF promo is one-shot, without expected recurring joy.
Since this offer is available up to December 3rd, you can place an order on the last day, and switch to a different offer on the next Black Friday "week".
I just got a response from OVHcloud US Support .
"The promo for Black Friday is grandfathered in at this price as long as you keep the VPS or any service that is eligible."
I purchased a VPS based on that. Hopefully its accurate.
Hello Everyone,
These promotions will be honored throughout the duration of your services even upon renewal. Sorry for any confusion.
Thanks!

OVHcloud marketing staff, you could benefit from something like this: https://www.plainlanguage.gov/
Is this for real? If so, how come you didn't write that clearly on the order page?
I wonder if there's any proof you are affiliated with OVH, after all you don't have the "Provider" tag on this forum, and anyone could sign up and make 4 posts like that.
Yea:
Doubtful.
No cloud on the west coast?
