Most of these deals are better than the initial ones, what are you unhappy about?
Does HostHatch have some anycast functionality? The only major provider I've seen with anycast is BuyVM.
BGP is now offered.
@hosthatch, I know that it is possible to install the operating system from ISO. But models of Ubuntu 20 and Debian 10 would be very welcome.
Guess it's a wrap then.
Thanks @hosthatch for making this happen
You need your own IP space in that case, right? I don't know a lot about BGP.
What the hell are you using that for?
Storage deals were good but NVMe bad. If it was post all at ones we did not lose 2:30 hour for that ...
@Abdullah thanks a ton for making this BF worthwhile! great deals, hope there is not too much bad apples and aftermath to it.

@hosthatch
Some folks would have hoped for other deals, and some of us didn't buy anything on this last batch of deals; you totally can be disappointed if you expected something specific that wasn't available, but if you want to see it positively it's possible: it has been very clever marketing. As LETers really believed that the deals would be available soon, the audience stayed, including those who would have bought, whatever the deals (real "need" + FOMO) while the provider had time to adjust his next offers to the capacity available on his nodes, given what had been sold in the days and hours before.
In a way it means that @hosthatch won't deadpool in 6 months: your backups are fine.
It's not a functionality. If your IPs are announced from different places (could be different providers, and that's even better in some ways) anycast "will happen", it's not specific to a provider. Buyvm offers you anycasted IPs, it's not the same, as you don't need your "own IPs".
Anyway it's late around here:
Thanks guys for the fun, see ya some of these days (or next year!)
Technically, yes, I think? He mentioned that he will be able to announce your own IP space. But he also offers BGP Sessions for people with over 15$/month spend. Thats how I want to do it, since I have my own ASN.
The 10TB CHI link is alive again in case anyone wants it: https://manage.hosthatch.com/billing/order/bf-10tb-chi
... and its dead again
Same comments as others, thanks for the offers. I got way more than I had planned to.
To be honest, I'm rather embarrassed at some of the comments complaining about not getting refunds or other stuff that was clearly stated in the very first post. You've handled it more graciously than I would have. Anyway, thanks.
If any of you want to exchange your storage server in Stockholm for my storage server in London (1CORE-2GBRAM-1TBHDD)...just let me know. PM. Anyway I think it would be nice to create a thread where we can be like the NBA managers trading their players.
I wrote to Abdullah maybe he can help me with what I'd like, who knows. But seems like he's busy for now and I understand why. So anyway thank you for the nice BF 2020. Glad to be a part of it. Have a good night to all.
And that is all folks. Once the links stop working, that is it. We may add some unpaid orders back into stock as we go but I won't provide updates on that every time.
That will be all for this sales season.
Sorry for the posting time delays. I truly am. We are obviously not well equipped enough to handle 1000x the volume compared to an average day....but we now know how we can do better on that front and the feedback about how we should change the credit system, etc - it is taken into account and will be discussed internally.
And sorry for the people who feel disappointed on missing out on the original deals and not finding what you were looking for in the flash deals. That is unfortunately how these sales work. We do not make a lot of money on them so I won't really be doing personal apologies on your decision to not buy them in the 48 hours that they were actually available.
We have a lot of exciting stuff coming up in the next few weeks. BGP sessions being one of them. You can do Anycast in all or some locations. Our new (much more improved) support - which will be available to all customers, including on promotions. 40G networking.
And then a bunch of new features in Q1 2021, that will be available to everyone at no additional cost.
@hosthatch
You were an absolute legend. I love the BGP Sessions. I look forward to them.
Total for me: 18 VMs. I seriously need to stop looking at deals now.
I'm not the person you were originally asking, but I'm currently using 25 VPSes for the worldwide pings, traceroutes and DNS lookups on https://dnstools.ws/! That's one use case for having a whole heap of servers all around the world
All automatically managed using Ansible.
BGP and Idling of course
Cheers!
Time to write a letter explaining to my wife why I spent hundreds of dollars to hatching eggs.
Thanks for the promos, @hosthatch.
Any chance you could check DM or TID #486481? I will proceed as per your instructions.
Thanks.
Better go scramble hers.
@hosthatch
I ordered on Nov. 28th but the support said that NVMe VPS upgrade is not possible.
I want to just replace my old NVMe plan with a new 8GB one in the OP.
I added $30 to my account but I don't really know how much should I pay.
Could you check the ticket #490838 please? Thanks!
@hosthatch bro please check your DM so I can pay my invoice.
@hosthatch when you get a chance can you take a look at Ticket 949059. Also the VPS has been stuck in finalizing for almost 24 hours.
For fuxk sake.. Did you read when order a VPS?
This offer thread has been legendary and I say this as someone who has been a member here for almost a decade.
And what a patience and professionalism under 1000x load...Greets Folks..Thus comes to end the most exciting time of the year!!!
I agree! This is nearly the best Black Friday thread of all-time, only beaten by the VirMach flash sale threads.
Thank you so much for the awesome sale @hosthatch, and sorry you have to deal with all the people that don't properly read the posts and just say "please look at my tickets"
I actually made a loan to get a dedicated core deal on the 1st page because I didn't have funds at the time and thought it'd be out of stock already by the time my money came. So glad I snatched a deal, Hong Kong before '21, baby!
