Unfortunately, I'm always too slow 😭
Now this is on point:
I was thinking the best deals will be there once we hit 1M views. But it seems I was wrong, or blind maybe?
already gone
I thought there might be some more puzzles of sorts to solve to get the deals, which would have slowed uptake in the moment but might have been an interesting experience. I still think that the deal another prvider posted a while back (forgotten which one now) with a purposefully vulnerable website to hack was very cool.
As for me getting deals on pure speed is very hard, especially when they're images and have to go through OCR before I can even get the all-important code.
What did I missed? xD
Good evening APAC !
There were quizzes though, and deals that did last for like 10 minutes so if anyone was really trying they'd get at least some of the good deals.
Not if they couldn't register for the client portal until about 23 hours ago
Maybe I should have mentioned it earlier, but I am often of the opinion that companies that use these sort of captchas have them for a reason and won't be in any hurry to remove them. But @NDTN proved me wrong on this which was great. And I couldn't raise this via ticket, as the Submit Ticket page also had that image captcha for not logged in users...
Did you get a VPS from GC ? Can you state your purpose of required VM ? I do have 1-2 idlers which I am going to put on giveaway . May be you can get one of them .
@UnassignedIP what do you need
Frankly , I was also hoping for some fairy tale kind of ending, _not no-holds-barred-all-existing-stock-in-BF2024-category-must-go kind of a deal _ , but kind of 30%-40% Off on budget packages, which would bring the price to $9-$10 for them.
Personally, I am not buying small packages, but I see that these small packages are quite popular among users here.
Since, my mouth is full from the generous giveaway, I am keeping quiet !
Even after buying two BF-2024-1 packages, one 4GB Ryzen and one VDS at 70% OFF, I badly miss that 88% OFF VDS, particularly because the VDS I bought is not Genoa (flash sale skill issue).
But, All is well that ends well ! Long live GreenCloud ! Long live LET and long live our idlers !
Guess it's a matter of Give & take. I got some cheap deals and then paid for a big plan as a result of FOMO/impulse buying and later find no use of it 😂
Among them is a BF2024-2 (8c/32g/250g) 😂
I bought a total of three 0.5T storage units at two locations, and they will be very useful!
I kind of feel bad for not getting -2 package instead of -1. Either of those servers is enough for me to cancel my 2-3 other idle VPSes by other providers.
Haha I got myself two storage deals as well but same location omg lol
No, I didn't get a VPS from GC at all (I never have had one although saying that I am quite new to this game). Its a classic example of always waiting for the perfect deal, when even the standard BF 2024 plans would be miles better than the regular ones available now.
Plan and location wise, I think that I wouldn't 'need' anything bigger than the 6666 plan although that doesn't mean I wouldn't accept it. And I seem to have ended up with loads in EU/UK and none in APAC/US so if there is a choice I'd be leaning towards outside EU although anything would be much better than nothing/a regular plan.
Regarding the use cases I have a few in mind:
1. To help run and host some of the open source projects I have created to help the wider blind community. I won't link to them here as doing so would almost certainly lead to a whole lot of my personal information, but I'll assure you that they are already popular and helping many blind users across the world with basic tasks that otherwise would have been pretty much impossible. If you'd like I can DM you a link but will not share publicly. I need a reliable provider that has both IPV4 and V6 for this hence why I was looking at GC.
For hosting a few other hobby blogs / websites that don't really have anywhere to be right now.
For network monitoring / as a Tailscale exit node / personal VPN (more of a secondary use case but nevertheless not to be discounted).
my goodness i got storage in all 3 locations too
yeah i decided to go BIG and took the chance for -2 and the problem is that it can't connect smoothly to my other storage due to high latency...
I wasn't able to obtain the 0.5T storage in AZ and NL, but it's enough for now.
i have a 6666 in San Jose. is that OK with you?
it is non transferable, but i dont know if green boss can make an exception.
Yes the Plan 2 was very tempting although I held off as I don't particularly have a use for that many specs.
wait there was NL storage deal??!?!
The flash sale has appeared more than three times, but it was gone every time.
Yes that would work great. Let me know the outcome if you ask.
@NDTN if its OK, i would like to transfer one San Jose 6666 to him even though it is non transferable as a giveaway.
I'm afraid not as I have asked 😂
Yeah it has come and go few times just in front of me 😂
repeat post
@NDTN an exception maybe?
