    With all the upgrades, who has the best VM for the value?

    I can start:
    2 vCPU Ryzen 3900X
    3G RAM
    (only) 20GB SSD
    14$ yearly :)

    That's really good!

    This is my best deal with Racknerd

    Damn that's a lot of value , does racknerd allow transfers

    I don't know about the transfers, but I don't think anyone would transfer out such deals :)

    From one RN account to another you mean?

    Yeah, I don't know if RN allows transfers between accounts. @dustinc can you clarify?

    I am unsure as well. I am sure transfers to other accounts is allowed before they are initialised. For example, you can transfer your winnings to another account, given they haven't already been redeemed.

    You can only transfer the server, the amount in the account cannot be transferred.

    Yah, I meant when you win a giveaway, you can redeem it to any account of your choice. So, you could easily redeem it to a friend's RN account. Any transfers post that could be chargeable.

    It should be possible, because there will be no verification whether the account is an account owned by you.

  • This year, who's looking for offers on Ryzen 7XXX series VPSes?

    Maybe. No idea though.

    You need to pay $8 for this operation.

    That answers the question. The only open question - can the special deals be transferred? :)

    That'd be unfair, to be frank, esp. given many people who get these could be scalpers.

    Yes, they can be.
    But no one in their right mind would, unless they are scalping.

    Thats what I already said. I would never give up my special VM :) I am only willing to catch some new upgrades so the VM would be even more special :)

    It is good, unless it's being used by scalpers, whoa re taking it out of the hands of people who need it desperately.

    I hate the idea of idling VPSes. The Indian in me considers it a huge waste of money and power (electric, etc.). That's the only reason I'd ever consider giving up my VPSes.

    At least I am trying not to take any new VMs if I don't have a use case (at least planned) for it.

    I guess, that is a bit influenced by the fact that I have a home server where I can host a lot of temporary stuff.

    The transfer service exists for a reason. I think it is a very good service.

    I've had my doubts cause, the way last year's flash sales were picked up, pretty sure, some scalpers were involved. Either that, or, I do have a very bad internet connection.

    Nah not your internet, last time there were many Chinese also trying to get it. In 2022, it wasn't much of an issue, but in 2023, their server crashed multiple times, and I'm almost certain some people used bots too.

  • Last year, the VPS deals (non-thread ones) were great, esp. the Ryzen ones. I was really planning on getting one of those if all else failed. This year, as well, even without the special flash sales, the prices are extremely competitive.

    I'd never use them. The basic premise with winning a flash sale or a giveaway, for me, is the thrill that comes with it, and a sense of achievement that comes post winning or getting it.

    LOL! I lack the expertise for that. It'd be fun to look into it though, not for sales purposes, but, for automating a lot of repetitive stuff that I do on a regular basis. What language would you recommend that I pick up for automation, apart from AI-based ones.

    I need to get a home server it seems

    Mine is not too special. i5-11500, 96GB RAM, RaidZ2 over 4x6TB HDD, GTX3060 12GB (for playing with ComfyUI). It is not power hungry, but also I am free to do anything I want :)

    That still might have cost a lot , hopefully I can win a pc from this racknerd thread let's see , I don't think I will though

    At least currently you are the one to win. The problem with winning such prize for me would be the shipping to EU and taxes... :(

    Is it that bad in EU, given we, in India have had experiences of being slapped with 150% of the MRP as customs duties alone?

    Transferring vps is a good thing, a lot of time I get legendary deals with no use it is better if someone else can use it

    At least I am trying not to take any new VMs if I don't have a use case (at least planned) for it.

    I guess, that is a bit influenced by the fact that I have a home server where I can host a lot of temporary stuff.

    Same I am still wondering how will I ship such a thing if I win but then again I can just get equivalent credits and use racknerd as my homelab

    How is your electricity bill, assuming, it runs 24/7?

    80-90Eur for everything. I mean, I have 3 children, so a lot of laundry, food making - electric stove, sometimes 3d printing, etc... So my "server room", I would say, costs me 10-15Eur/month. But having the same specs in some DC would cost me much more :)
