Celebrating 14 years in business - NVMe & Storage deals inside

Can I just give a massive thank you for posting this exactly when you said you would. Was scheduled for 1am my time which was fine for me as a night owl, but I did appreciate that it went up on time and I didn’t have to hang around longer guessing when it’d start. Missed a few offers in the past from various providers where the kickoff slides and I’m forced to go to bed not knowing when a post will eventually come. As a scheduled thing days in advance, it was executed more promptly than I’m perhaps used to so kudos.
We had.
The other nice part is they had a lot of stock to support however many orders were placed during that 1h window. During Black Friday, reputable hosts dropped links with limited edition plans with limited quantity that sold out in mere seconds. I know not every host can offer 500 instances of a 1 TB storage VPS or whatever but nonetheless, this flash sale did not feel like a lottery gamble of who has the fastest internet/refresh/luck/mouse clicks.
I think big factor about that is, we basically pre-ordered stuff, and they will facilitate things based on the pre-orders. That's the common difference than the usual flash sales with providers.
Last HH pre-order thing turned into a big drama (even thou HH said people can ask for refunds), let's see how this one will go.
Edit: To add, I am still grateful that I could spend more than 10 seconds to decide if I should buy something or not. Even thou FOMO was still in effect, knowing that I have x more minutes, made things more clear for me.
And I still bought some idlers still
buybuybuy, no need to think at all
I experienced a similar thing - is there a better way to handle this besides nullrouting? I understand the ports are shared and can't be constantly maxed out, but I would much prefer to have a speed cap applied rather than completely lose connectivity for a few minutes.
I think it's the “DDos protection” that's triggered.
Quite a few providers do this and it can be triggered with speedtest. (I've had the same problem with Greencloud Frankfurt and UltraVPS Dusseldorf)
But it has never triggered in real-life use, even during large file transfers.
Most likely in the same manner. People do not read, buy on instincts etc.
Congratulations @hosthatch and Happy Anniversary!
This should never happen in normal times - please open a ticket so we can adjust limits where needed.
I didn't get it, I hope I can get a 3-year order Los Angeles
Yeah, it was nice to be able to sit and think about it for a bit. The provision times aren’t a worry for me either.
Only thing I’d change is maybe let people know ahead of time there’ll be a 60 minute window. But think it was very well handled and it allowed me to get back to the F1 nice and quick.
after the rush for flash deal has been completed, now awaiting provisioning
no hurry
but im waiting
but no hurry
but waiting still
I saved money when faced with the flash deals.
I was worried that you didn't see it, so I @hosthatch again
good
You should ticket them. I got an answer in about a week related to snapshots.
says the guy who already has a HH VPS in every location
The CMI route from Hong Kong to the mainland is running smoothly right now, but performance drops significantly when it gets rerouted through Japan or anywhere else outside the direct path.
Hi Motion3549, sorry for the late response, just login back to LET.
Since the offer was over, I believe the yabs is not useful anymore. But for the sake to satisfy the curiosity, here we are :
No issues here. Glad to see the results.
UK NVMe 24GB (+bonus) plan just delivered
Now to figure out what to do with it... it's not quite the multicore GB6 I was hoping for (existing 2 core HH server gets >3000) but maybe it's busy with people installing and spamming YABS
You know what they say, you only get a correct YABS after running it 100x in sequence.
You ended on epyc Rome
The yabs looks good for this cpu.
Any idea what cpu model # it may be for Sydney for this plan?
4 CPU cores (2 dedicated core, 2 fairly shared cores) ROME/MILAN
I am currently on Milan? AMD EPYC 7443 at the moment and wouldnt want to go to a lower performance CPU
I believe my current config is the same, 2 dedicated/2 fair share - but saving $20 a year in USD would be handy too
Thanks
The performance difference between these models is negligible.
I had the Hong Kong special delivered quickly but I have connectivity issues with it. Over IPv6 it seems to work fine but over IPv4 the connection is spotty to mostly non-working, depending on port. Earlier in the day I could connect to it through SSH, now all attempts time out without response. When using globalping probes, about 1/4 of them time out on either ping or HTTP. And for NTP clients, only 2 out of 13 different ones can connect, those in India and Australia.
Anyone else here has Hong Kong location, is it working fine for you?
@hosthatch I have bandwidth pooling enabled, and all of my regions are showing only a few bytes of usage, even though I’ve ran several YABS. Obviously not complaining lol but thought you might want to have a look. (didn’t thought this was worth a ticket, so leaving it here instead)
@hosthatch post vacation pics.
Got my Stockholm VPS already. Thanks @hosthatch. Mandatory YABS:
