Ordered a BF deal root server from NetCup. First time it got rejected because I was on my VPN (stupid me!). Second try went through, but asked for ID verification to complete the order so submitted that. Now waiting...
I got a nice headache. YABS to follow.
Only a big one from GreenCloudVPS, to replace one that has similar specs but much less disk space (I'm running out of space on it).
Went for the triennial payment to get 300GB NVMe.
SolidSeoVPS: $6.95/yr
TNAHosting: $6/yr
Hostslick: €35/yr 1TB STORAGE BLACK-FRIDAY
Hostslick: €35/yr 3TB STORAGE BLACK-FRIDAY
Virtono: €29.95/yr 8GB KVM in Milan
Prohosting: 4€/m BF LIMITED SPECIAL 4C/16G/200GB
Purchased only one VDS, 4C8G150GSSD for $49.9 per year
NameCrane Annual Email Hosting and @heartbeat_IT 6 EUR/yr VPS
I got a sleep deprivation
But on the upside - I wasn't a victim of a host who had a Black Friday promo code that actually INCREASED the price on the service.
I remember seeing that, did anyone actually buy it with the code?
I'm hoping that someone's genius idea of asking ChatGPT to craft them a bot ended up backfiring spectacularly for them in that instance lol.
I had a provider tag me directly when a deal when up (had all my info autofilled, payment method verified and rocking) and still whiffed on 3 attempts. Human reflexes and Black Friday just don't mix!
What's really funny is that I know exactly which message you're talking about, I actually got the $12/yr deal from that post. Apologies about that!
No need to apologize!
If anything, it makes me feel a little better that someone actually did pull it off without straight botting. I had felt pretty good with the HetrixTools promo deal - won for myself and a few other folks - but when Black Friday proper came it felt like I was riding a tricycle on the Autobahn
Nothing so far.
We got one 🥭, two bananas, and four vegan sausages from the grocery store, paid by gift card.
We didn't spend anything from debit/credit cards today.
@Cloudie just sent us $75 RIPE tax invoice, due in two weeks.
That $7 dealz from two years ago is catching up on us.
We are knee deep in the abyss with six BGP servers now.
ph24 +20% top up
hostbrr 500g $7/y
both are perfect for my needs
i got a chance but left it because i thought @HostSlick wil throw a 5tb one with high price.
congratz on that.
Just got a MXRoute deal for $10/3 years, too broke to get a decent server
Back to Netcup with their RS2000. I might jump to OVH if they actually restocks their BF deals though.
HostC $7 is da killer deal @host_c
This one was massivegrid for $40.92 three years (fourth year for free):
For coolify enough I guess.

I got a linveo VPS. I'm still thinking about getting a email offer/plan from one of the offer threads, so maybe I might get some more stuff.

not bad for $330 a year
Any cheap Windows rdp with 1gb ram+ you guys can recommend?
I got 100% discount currently /s
What's the model of the disk? Thanks
So far? Nothing, im too slow
Netcup RS 2000, 14.19 EUR per month
And renewed my Crunchbits VDS, $171/year
Haven't bought anything else because I'm trying to stick to buying VDSes and I didn't see any good deals
edit: Wait, I bought 250GB of backup storage for $30/3 years
I purchased the @Francisco namecrane 1TB crate for $60 per month, leaving little room for additional expenses. However, I am considering buying the lifetime email service from them as well.
