Sorry, but I can't believe you fell into the trap of asking for YABS for deals that were extremely limited and not generally available. Really, that's just completely pointless - it's just the way how your competitors do marketing (that's the only reason for these deals and has nothing to do with performance per buck of regular deals).
You don't qualify to vote (independently of the exact deadline)

May be new hosts, even so these are 4 cores, lololol.
The network send looks substandard a bit as well. Given, that could be network anywhere from edge to endpoint. Ok I will share some yabs, but will share new hosts to start.
$6/mo regular price before discounts - look for promos soon as this is a new product for us. And giving away for this poll as prizes
Ryzen 9 7950x3d Tier 1
(I use tier 1 because it's 1 core and most dont want/need more than 1 core for VPN and what not, extrapolate from there)
woot. look at the IOPS! and the GeekBench. Feedback?

South East TX US (Houston/Spring)
Launching at North East US (Ohio) this week.
It's good to compare and have healthy competition. All learn from each other. Be sustainble and stay sustainable my friends!
I'll stick with my $3 per year 2.7k GB6 VPS that doesn't have a constantly changing AUP and a limit of 25% CPU usage, thanks
1 core Ryzen 9 with 1ram/20gb is nonsense
Also, Its Provider Poll Thread better keep it clean
Yeah, I think a few low cost promos should be fine. Both providers have also done other promos that didn’t go nearly as hard on the saving. Those super good deals were also super limited, but there was page after page of people discussing both Terabit and Enzonix when they offered those promo. In Enzonix’s case the games etc they had around it had people engaged for a few days. They both got some mindshare out of it.
Also got the Terabit promo. I’ve also subsequently purchased some more expensive plans at about $5 a month with both those two providers too. Still cheap but certainly not $3yr crazy.
Both companies seem like they wanted to do a bit of community engagement here and there, but also keep the volume in check.
Sure beanman, then check what happens later like uptime and rate limiting and all that. Keep me posted. Our aup is adjusted to balance the needs of all on shared resources and it's 100% burst with us, we only rate limit to 35% when they overuse the burst.
Just like @cmeerw said, a disfavor for your kind host, that may later change of attitude. Best luck making them pay for your service. Feel sorry for both of you! lol
Nonsense to you if you think you can get better support, uptime, reliability, and stability otherwise. But I doubt it.
Similar to how you "Refactored" your VPS HDD Storage services recently yeah?
No not similar WORSE! If hosts dont adapt offerings, they fail. If they cannot sustain your offer you bought, you and them fail. And that is the case, they cannot sustain it. You just got lucky on a penny deal you are costing them 10x what you pay. Thank you! Be part of the sustainable solution for your partner host
Bottom line, selling a 4c VPS at $3/yr is the same as a give away. Limited to 4 to 12 units, drum up some brand notes, ok. You just got lucky to have them pay it for you. Pay up when the time comes, or find another host/deal-at-loss offer, right? Thanks!
Now on to the poll. Keep poll voting!
Curious about the process. Is validating the ‘5 years of business’ for the most stable provider a large time sink or did you have something in place to make that easier? Seems like the bit that could be most tedious to me?
I looked at one company and it was hard to pin down an exact start date. Some will be easier than other, assume some might be hard to isolate?
Ok when I see all the replies I thought there were some flash sales going on
you're serious?
I've got a 6 vCPU with 6 GB RAM and 66 GB of storage with IPv4 for less than a coffee at a café per year. Price match?
Maybe LET is not the right place for you then. The overall mood here is focusing on getting biggest bang for the buck. Some corners may be cut but that doesn't necessarily mean providers are not sustainable.
I have a $1.11/ year vps and it's chugging along fine since 2023. A definite loss leaders but provider has still maintained the service quality as day 1 and still not dead.
It's a bit harsh to critique some providers without knowing how their Financials look like and make a blatant assumption that a few loss leaders mean nothing but doom.
There is always an inherent risk with providers that could deadpool with even "sustainable" deals.
On the other hand, You are a part of the problem by luring users to post their order number to gain something extra (additional memory/ disk/ bandwidth).
How? There is NO way anyone would willfully offer extra resources without factoring in the price of the addon. It's a psychological move to make the end users feel they get a "good" deal but it's customers who are paying for that additional bonus. It may infact work in your favor as not many people may end up posting their order details to claim allowing you to profit a few extra cents
Talk about being sustainable without deceptive marketing.
Nah. Just late votes and internet arguments
亲爱的 CharityHost
You should stop bashing every merchant and accusing them for overselling if a merchant is doing a better job than you.
You have a bad reputation with MJJ because you logged in a customer chicken without the authorization of the owner. This is serious misconduct. 您能否认这一点吗？Can you deny this?
I hope this isnt the case of someone getting furious all of sudden because gettin sunny'ed
Wts a customer chicken 🤔
Layer.ae $1/yr Singapore with 7950X:
Enzonix $5/yr:
ProHosting24 (around $3.5/mo with top-up bonus) (19% VAT included):
But I think @emgh has the cheapest, his 6/6/66 was reduced multiple times IIRC, can't remember what the final cost was though.
And I agree with @beanman109; IMHO it isn't nice to ask what good deals there were and then, when someone replies with a YABS of a good, limited and obviously unprofitable deal, instantly accuse the provider of overselling or suggest that the provider is unreliable.
Ur vietNAAM 3 Dollah trumps that
Maybe, but he likely can't provide that. This is better specs per dollar excluding the location aspect.
Just below 3 freedom bucks IIRC
That’s nuts. It was (and is) an amazing deal at $12.
chad status confirmed
It could work though, I see Enzonix mentioned again and again and from what I know they didn't even sell that many at the lowest priced deal. Sure, it's a recurring loss, which sucks, but only as long as the buyers keep paying, and if they keep paying, they likely keep mentioning the deal.
