Arubacloud Refugee Thread
As we all know, Arubacloud increases the VPS prices of their existing "Cloud VPS - Smart" plans, from €1/month to €2.79/month, starting 1st of August. This is a whopping 179% increase.
Personally, I can no longer idle there (it's the principle of the thing), hence why I would love to see some new places for idling. Therefore, LET the offers flow!
Disclaimer: I am aware this is not Black Friday... however this is going to be a beautiful summer. Wait, this did not sound right. Anyway, you know what refugees from Aruba want.

@seriesn where is my €1 London VPS sir?
@Francisco where is our €1 per month VPS so that we move from Aruba?
I mean you guys bold with that tags for 1€, but you can always try going even more extreme.
@Clouvider I heard there are 1£ per month dedis as Arubacloud Refugee offer good sir?
We can probably do, erm. £1 discount
https://www.clouvider.co.uk/dedicated-servers-sale/ shows our best prices on the day and there are cool things coming over the next week so watch that space!
Aren't those 1EUR/USD/GBP plans basically loss leaders used for marketing purposes?
I can see how it's profitable on a heavily oversold node without an IPv4.
yes, still i happely made use of them for years. shame aruba choose this althou i can understand it..
now ihave to spin up one or 2 hetzner clouds, unless someone has a nice cheap althernative to aruba
Guess we’re on the same boat, waiting 😂
Here is a recent yearly offer from @Cam with OpenVZ 7 at $12/year in UK, and it's still active: https://hosting.gullo.me/order/config/index/little-vz/?group_id=32&pricing_id=324&coupon=LVZ-1GB-40
I'm not even bothered though it was just idling for me haha
At the time of the offer, it probably served two purposes: marketing and not less important: justifying IP space usage, so they could grab more before exhaustion, which are very valuable.
So more than a loss leaders, it was an investment, and considering IP pricing nowadays, a very profitable one.
Many VPS providers did that some years ago: $1/month offers to justify usage of vast amounts of IP space. Some of them didn't even hide it and offered multiple IPv4 addresses as standard with ridiculously cheap services. Of course they all kicked customers who purchased those plans soon after that.
Yeah, to idle like champ.
Dead.
Wow thanks, where is the love for the panda?
Looks like that panda needs some anger management 😀
I'll shaft anyone with bamboo who tries
I'm not sure, sour patch kids and we have a deal......
Hmmm. Hmmmm hmmmmm.
Currently my server utilisation is at 5%... idling some dedicated servers... but if $1/m happen at NexusBytes (say 256MB RAM) I will still be so tempted to get one...
I'd get 5...
Getting 5 might bring my server utilisation down to 3%...
256 MB KVMs with NVMe and Gbit please. IPv4(+). 12/year.
Edit: Shared 3rd gen Ryzen only.
@seriesn chop chop sir, we have money waiting for your $1/m plan sir
Thanks to your 3.4MB GIF, it takes a minute to load
I've been looking for a replacement VPS. So far I've come across this offer. Has anyone heard of them? Are they any good?
Sirs, dear sirs, IPv4 . Grrrrrrr. But what good a ryzen would do with 256MB KVM vps is beyond my imagination.
But you know what, if you need an idler and want to give me money, I take. It it is Thursday after all . Specially since @FAT32 asked!!
