    No, I'm clearly not going to renew them all.
    The aim is to get rid of most of my idle servers.
    The ones I have left are non-transferable. So I'm just waiting for them to expire.
    My goal for 2025 is to have very few servers, but ones that perform well and are stable. :)

    that's what I told myself in 2018

    I've already transferred all the ones I wasn't using.
    And the others will expire by the end of the year.
    What I still have to do is not buy 10 servers on black Friday. :#

    Sounds feasible, doesn't it?

    Tragically not my $1/year HyperExpert VPS.

    Three years for $3...I can't complain.

  • Planning to expire 11 idlers and sub-par servers this year, almost all of them were replaced with better deals though.

    Idk, HT-H is one of the worst experiences for me, I am thinking of canceling them in Nov.

  • Anyone want to transfer buyvm or SpartanHost? Not sure if there are any great deals for black Friday this year.

    Thanked by 1default
  • This is where previous years late delivery helps if you get a hot new deal and have an extra week to migrate before needing to cancel.

  • I have one that I don’t want to renew, but it says “cancellation of this product is disabled by staff,” and the “staff/provider” has been AWOL for months with no response to tickets.

    That is kind of funny... ;)

    Now those "one-simple-trick" for business can start promoting that...

    Worst case, block the payment from happening?

    I have many idle VPS I should probably cancel, but the thing that will hurt my wallet the most is the domain renewals.

    True. What a world we live in. An yearly domain, which is just a row in some database of a registry, nowadays costs more than an yearly virtual computer running applications 24/7.

    Supply and demand...

    HT-HOSTING are scammers.

    I had two VPSs. Nothing worked, and after some time, they offered me a refund but never actually refunded the money. Now, they ignore support tickets, causing them to be automatically closed by their system.

    Hey, Black Friday is always tempting! I’ll likely renew a few key subscriptions, but I’ll also be looking for new deals to upgrade. It’s all about balancing what’s essential with the best discounts.

    Thanked by 1default
  • I wish I hadn't taken out so many servers a month before black friday. I am sorry in advance to any cancellations - it is not personal! Maybe providers should provide upgrade options to offers <3 o:)

    Someone asked what animal would I choose to be, so I said "bee", even though bees are actually insects.

    We are canceling many accounts:

    • MXroute 2GB account, $5/year since 2020

      • Replaced by 10GB account, $3/3y since 2023.
      • We finally stopped procrastinating and performed migration.
      • We are glad that IMAPSync is now built into DirectAdmin.
    • Hostnamaste raffle prize, since 2023

      • Due to Limestone routing error, traffic is blocked between this server and UptimeRobot.
      • Does the server even exist, if UptimeRobot says it's down 100% of the time?
    • GreenCloudVPS Tokyo 2GB, $86/3y since 2021

      • Replaced by 8GB plan, $70/3y since 2023.

    We will be renewing:

    • Limitless IPv6 only 512MB, $3/year since 2022.

      • Oh wait, it's already renewed because I won a raffle prize for the same plan in 2023 so we asked for a renewal instead of generating a new service.
    • ServerFactory / Heartbeat IPv6-only 8GB, €48/y since 2023.

      • We have affiliate income turned store credit that must be spent.

    We haven't decided on:

    • ServerFactory / Heartbeat VDS 4GB, €48/2y since 2022.
      • We have too many servers in this region, and the "VDS" is 50% core so it's not really fast.

    Offers like that are extremely rare and limited in quantity. One needs to be fast like an automated script.

  • Beware of scammers this Black Friday!

    I am already starting to see new providers which are active in business for just a year, or 6 months.
