@o_be_one You seem like someone who cares a lot and also is kind. That's so nice! Thank you for your post and for being who you are!
The conversion from "Provider" to "Patron Provider" has been completed.
A big and sincere thank you to the hosting companies who have chosen to support LowEndTalk and LowEndBox through the provider tag fee model.
Host Rep & Patron Host.
Just a personal preference.
baby host and momma host

My experience has been different. The OGF has had lots of interesting unique content and started to grow quite a bit.
I've picked 3 or 4 deals now off there over the last month that you can't get here. And some providers provide a bigger discount to LES users (probably because there is no provider fee to worry about). And I've seen a few that only post deals on OTG forum now.
It's smart to check both sites for deals now before making a decision or you might only get a 25% discount instead of a 40%.
It's not that uncommon, I usually charge people more to buy my apps and games on Apple than Android, as the platform is more restrictive and it has a 200/yr fee. Even if it's minor, if I have to pay one platform more, users should be charged more. It just makes sense to generate a better ROI, reward places with lower fees, and encourage users to those lower fee forums to save a bit of paperwork and cash
Anyway, I think it already is at the point that if you don't visit both before buying something you are at risk if missing out on a better deal (which is why a lot of people were here).
So does that mean all the provider tags now are the ones who’ve paid?
Probably yes. Hetzner didn't pay but OVH_APAC did (Patron Provider).
That surprises me that OVH paid
Surprised everyone. Peanuts to them I suppose.
Very true.
What surprises me is that only 13 paid providers posted in the Easter thread, that’s normally busy with low end deals, looks like the Megathreads are also dead 😂
I’ve not been here for Easter threads before so I just thought that was normal, especially if the thread was a surprise.
It was a last minute surprise. Activity level expected.
Hopefully the 2nd easter megathread will be busier, looking forward to next year.
Indeed.
The Megathread concept is alive and well.
The effort to give the smallest hosts among our community every opportunity to prosper here on LowEndTalk (Megathreads, HR3, etc).
Surely you should have given the smaller goats some notice of the MEGATHREAD if you really wanted to give them a chance?
Everyone should just send a $200 invoice to OVH accounting.
I just send them a scanned bollock with an invoice for £1,000, let’s see what happens!

If Over Vint Hill gives me a dollar every time it drops my packet, I'll be a billionaire by now.

It is not obvious to me, at least, where this is page is. Does it exist? If so, I'd appreciate a pointer to it.
stop bilohposting
@jtk STOP necro posting. If you are going to do it, say something useful.
I mean I'd also appreciate a list of all the hosts that paid for the tag so we can get an idea how much money this whole thing rakes in. I can't find it either.
Edit: looks like it was removed: https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/181319/provider-list
Sorry. I can move it into a new thread or just delete it if you want, but this seemed like the place for it. Was a serious question. Hoping for an answer if you have one.
120 ish, a few months ago.
Likely a bit higher by now.
As of the data I have from Jan.
142 Patron's.
Before the Switch in 2022, we had 376.
We lost 234 till today, roughly 62%.
$200 * 142 = $28,400/year 🤔
376 people with 'Providers' tag, not 376 patrons. Just a clarity thing.
What was the target? Around 250 or so to stick?
Francisco
Correct.
When I recall what he said correctly, something 50k/y or even 60.
More or less, he has 50-60% ish after roughly 1 Year.
Please implement a option to easily buy provider TAG using order link. Option to purchase for a limited time only. No recurring + recurring order link.
