@VirMach are your VPS useable as mailservers?
Can I send 200,000 to 300,000 mails/month if they are not spam?
503 Service Temporarily Unavailable
oh no
That is not their ideal idle customer, FYI. A major part of a successful sale is having some people who buy on big discount who have no purpose and just idle it (i.e. me) and barely consume host resources, rather than people who make use of it and use the resources. This allows for more accounts than usual and offsets the bigger discount. It's not really a secret, just that's the way it is and it works out for both buyer and seller when both parties are reasonable (which Virmach is).
And the purpose of allowing the transfer is so that they'll continue to receive some income from it even if just a few bucks, rather than no income from it ever again. That's usually preferred unless they are a support drain, which these are not supposed to have anyway.
But start at $9.99 (or higher) and decrease the price by $1 after every 3-4 regular flash deals. That way you will find the billing server's melting point.
Sounds like a science project?
Yay! I got it
One more question - why is it that you have these off putting decimals on your prices?
I mean rounding up $8.62/year to $9/year is a no brainer and I'm sure no one is going to complain (heck it'll cover Paypal charges for you).
Get it whoever needs it 5.32/y
Because it makes them more unique and special (and possibly easier identifiable need be?)
$5.32 /yr
VIRTUALIZATION KVM – Low Disk
RAM 512MB RAM
CPU 1 vCORE
HDD 5GB SSD (RAID 10)
BANDWIDTH 1000GB BANDWIDTH
LOCATION Buffalo, NY LOCATION
IPs 1 DEDICATED IPv4
It's part of the psychological experiment.
I understand, but I think more often than not the support effort in dealing with the transfer is not worth the few measly bucks they make (or so I think).
All around, everyone got what they bargained for for that year of service and if it improves the stability of the system all the better for them to be able to sell resources appropriately.
I think abuse/resource misuse is quite tedious effort wise and will sink them if they don't curb it quickly and by preventing transfers at least in some kinds of deals (like the no support that they tried) does make sense is what I feel.
Hey - if I'm the data, it should be free!
More San Jose Pls
Oh that 2 core / 3GB RAM / 100 GB Disk / 2TB Bandwidth / 2 IPs at $35.78 ...
would be awesome to get that back for the crazy seekers here.
I hope @VirMach has heard our prayers (or else trained VirBot).
The idlers pleadeth and the lord hopefully giveth...
Waiting for a deal like the one we had at 16:04:
windows 2 cpu 3456MB ram 30G ssd 2500G band for $23.35Then they'd price the fee higher or they'd already have stopped. It's a one time fee for something that can/should be fairly automated and likely pay for the labour on the spot and also saves recurring revenue. I mean, you can have your opinion, just saying this has been said by providers.
That is just an argument not to have extremely big servers so that the usage doesn't spike as big when it goes from being idle to suddenly being used. They're fine with it being used, they can and will factor that into their server loading, but they want to use the resources if you're not using it for long periods of time.
lol, price changed by 1ct
ONE CENT LESS!
128 MB RAM + 500 GB BANDWIDTH is worth 0.01$. Can I buy those as addons?
RAM 7040MB RAM
CPU 4 vCORE
HDD 105GB SSD (RAID 10)
BANDWIDTH 6500GB BANDWIDTH
LOCATION LOS ANGELES, CA LOCATION
IPs 1 DEDICATED IPv4
Do you use windows?
Fair enough and valid economics.
I only hope that they're able to reduce effort and pass on that benefit to us then.
With it being used lightly, that's why there are limits in place with automated shutdown of a VM if it's used to it's "full potential". That's fine for the price though, but in a way it discourage heavy users. I don't really understand how people could buy super cheap servers at an higher price, with the hope of a cheap renewal making it interesting in the long run as I don't see them fit for high load.
LMAO
Bandwith is back! RAM is -128MB again. -0.01$. Okey, BW is free in Buffalo, it's the RAM cost.
Can you even run KVM on that?
lmao @donli got what you wished for
Next
128MB RAM for $5.29
64MB RAM for $5.28
32MB RAM for $5.27
...
If anyone is wondering, benchmark of the 4$/yr deal:
Looks like their bot is broken
Now BW is gone!
Most interesting part? Billing doesn't seems to be on fire for 5$/year offer!
$5.32 -> $5.31 -> $5.30 -> $5.29 -> $5.28 (?)
We're now quite deep into an experiment of sorts and I have no idea what kind of a guinea pig I am.
The game is afoot...or the VirBot is loosing precision as it is being trained.
Or got hacked!
