[TRANSFER] Host-C 5TB Pioneer Storage VPS $12.5/quarter

sliix · March 2025

Hi LET,

I have fully utilized it and my VPS needs have changed. This is still one of the best offer I have ever managed to grab. And now it can be yours.

This is THE pioneer storage VPS from @host_c. Original thread at https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/193663/chat-host-c-xeon-v4-5tb-storage-deal-12-5-usd-quarter-45-usd-yr/p1

Specs are as below:

    2 vCPU Xeon CPU V4
    2 GB DDR4 RAM
    20 GB NVME Boot Drive
    5 TB HDD Storage Add-on (Raid 6)
    1 Dedicated IPV4 IP
    1 Dedicated IPV6 IP, /64 upon request via ticket
    Internet @ 1 GBPS / Best Effort
    25TB Internet Traffic, 100 MBPS after depletion

25TB instead of 18TB traffic because this is actually a special plan for the OGF (I don't think I am able to open a thread there as I'm not really active on the OGF).

Next renewal date is 28 May 2025
$12.50/quarter. I believe you can also raise a ticket to change the billing to $45/year.

I'm asking for $25 via Wise app which includes the transfer fee. I will pay for Host-C transfer fee which is $5 iirc (appreciate if @host_c could confirm this).

For PayPal, it will be $30 (also includes the transfer fee which I will pay). PayPal doesn't allow FnF transfer in my country so please take that into consideration. (Not exactly sure how it works on sender's end, but I will want to receive $30 on my end).

Make sure you've created an account on host-c.com billing portal.
