Again going to hit 1M views.

We need 2.4M

Edit: send ram

Good target! Let's do it.

We should set a goal to reach 2.5M views. I think we can do it by the time the activity giveaway ends!

We would accept not only flash sales, if the price is acceptable

How much would you be willing to pay?

2-3 times the yearly price
for flash sale i'd guess 0-2x the price

@jmlet said:
@dustinc Any offers with >500GB of storage? Are any planned?

Hi @jmlet -- not exactly what you're after, but perhaps one or more of these plans may be of interest (keeping in mind these are powered by RAID-10, pure SSD's):

https://my.racknerd.com/cart.php?a=add&pid=61
https://my.racknerd.com/cart.php?a=add&pid=62
https://my.racknerd.com/cart.php?a=add&pid=63
https://my.racknerd.com/cart.php?a=add&pid=64

Feel free to email me at [email protected] with your requirements as well, and I'll be happy to come up with a custom plan for you

Hmm, so for 1GB ram upgrades (which are $12/year last I checked), a good price would be around $24-36. That seems reasonable!

@DeadlyChemist said:
do you guys think we get a way to buy pernement ressource upgrades? maybe as a flash sale?

Hi @DeadlyChemist -- We don’t mind doing giveaways to help, though creating a product whereby it’s billed one time for a permanent resource upgrade might be slightly difficult.

More giveaways are always possible - we are still committed to more giveaways and are always open to hearing ideas, including them in our giveaways

@dustinc Thank you for choosing LET as your community.

Your thread has doubled our bandwidth today.

😂 Love hanging out with all of you guys and happy to give back wherever we can. Truly so fun!

@SamSpudd said:
Wow, Dustin is a machine of a bandwidth doubler.

Hahaha @SamSpudd Still got quite a bit more to go through and review. I'll be going through them again later today!

@simple_dimple said:
Hello @dustinc are these packages are recurring? or just one-time offer? please reply

Hi @simple_dimple -- happy to see you here! Hope you've been well. These are recurring

MooCowGalaxy · November 2022

I kinda wanna figure out how many bandwidth requests were sent in this thread… going to write a quick script for that haha

ehab · November 2022

hello dustinc , you must be having some backlog of all requests. Best of luck.
and have fun.

Seems I took a break at the right time.

Howdy howdy @FrankZ! How was your Thanksgiving?

Wow, you guys are up to page 846, I expect you are going to set a new record on this thread. I hope you had a good Thanksgiving as well. Being in Mexico, we do not do Thanksgiving, but the homemade pizza I had on Thursday was really good. Made two and the wife and I ate them both through out the day. Sorry to be missing the party this weekend, as I have some commitments, but I should be back after the rush is over.

I bet that sales are through the roof. I wonder how many nodes are you running these days. I expect that is a closely held secret, but I going to make a guess at 463 anyways, maybe you will tell me if I am close.

Does anyone have YABS on this:
4.5 GB KVM VPS – $48.77 per YEAR! 3 vCPU Cores
I want to know more info on the CPU, thanks.

Someone sent a yabs of a RN server with 3 vCores earlier, I’ll try finding it

It was me I posted here: https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/3548908/#Comment_3548908

Looks like the Ryzen might be the better value of the 2.

A few of my servers are on nodes with names like [location][#]KVM, the number is always above 100 (I have one that says SJ173KVM for example), I wonder if this means they have at least 73 nodes in that location if the node number starts at 100 😲
