Celebrating 14 years in business - NVMe & Storage deals inside
This discussion has been closed.

Highly unlikely. The quality of these beasts are amazing. Every now and then someone offers one in service transfers here on the forum, I'd keep an eye there.
Hello all,
Thank you for all the birthday wishes. We're very thankful for the LET community for being a big (if not the biggest) part of it. As you all know, it has not all been perfect over the years
I will go through all the comments and answer each one. Please excuse me and feel free to ask again if I miss anything.
We can always reroute where needed, just did a bunch of these yesterday with the help of GSL (halved latency in most cases to AU ISPs from Singapore). We have multiple upstreams in each location, so even if GSL would not be able to help, we would have an alternate route. Singapore still does not have the new version of our storage nodes, so that should be fixed in the (near) future. Please always ticket in such issues so we can optimize if possible, for everyone
Nearly always stackable (other than flash / 24gb plans).
Always monthly, 1st to 1st of each month.
Thank you, would definitely not be possible without LET being a big part of it.
Anything to bribe a fellow admin....
I'm only a PM away, we'll keep it secret.
Our ticket queue is very much under control with an average response time under 30 minutes in the past 2 months. I don't want to jinx it though, but please feel free to open a ticket about this if you haven't gotten the migration email. We're doing this already in Stockholm. The only location we cannot do this yet is Amsterdam, but hopefully that is only a few weeks away as well.

We cannot retroactively apply upgrades like this unfortunately, at it opens another can of worms. The general rule we have for this for now is no.
Our network level limits were a bit outdated, especially since we've added 100G ports in many locations. We've applied a bunch of optimizations on the VM level, as well as network level. You will need to power cycle the VM (from the control panel, to rewrite the XML of the VM with the changes). Please do run some new benches and let me know if you see any improvements.

Indeed, especially opening multiple emergency tickets (reserved for service affecting issues) will immediately get you a no no from any promo services.
Lambo coming soon
For the most part, not really. We've stopped doing "pre orders" as much as we can after we made an internal decision on this. We either already have the capacity, or its on the way (i,e before deals are even posted).
Indeed, already resolved - please see above. Sorry it took this long.
Should be perfectly fine.
The only real way to do this is to remove all fair shared cores. Some of our users do this (who require 0 steal at all times). Our prices for dedicated cores are very competitive compared to some of the bigger players (DO, Vultr etc). We don't do the German style "free for all" dedicated cores.
Very happy to see this is resolved.
its nice to see HH with a greatly improved PR and happy to be customer again. also much better storage than before.
Long days to Go man @hosthatch 🤞✌️
@hosthatch when are you going to do the next sale thread?
When will you implement your new panel?
noticed the pooled bandwidth is now displaying and tracking.
196tb?
How many pools do you have
Seems like he has Olympic sized swimming pool
I knew it
Hence asked how many
sorry for the low quality meme, hadnt had my coffee yet
Sorry, the page you are looking for could not be found.
It’s mostly 2x storage plans and a 24GB NVMe plan. Top of my head they’re 60TBx2 and 50TB. There’s a couple of much smaller contributors, 4GB or something flash VPS.
Clearly at 0.01%, I’m not burning through bandwidth
Can someone kindly explain what this means? HostHatch promotional plans can be stacked so for example 2c/4g can be stacked to become 4c/8g, that sort of thing? Everything stacked (bandwidth, storage)? How would one go about doing this, order multiple quantities and then open a ticket or what?
Thanks!
you better start burning through that
No more idling
So just looked, 6 vps contributing. 60 / 60 / 50 / 10 / 10 / 6
Maybe I need to turn a few into syncthing relays
As this turned out to be a ask-me-anything thread.
I remember long time ago you mentioned migrating
businessto Europe company for some reason. It is done? It's cancelled? ETA?I haven't bought anything this sale so no idea if invoice changed
Exactly how you said it yes. You would lose the extra IPs but you would gain a much more powerful single machine. It is usually done with a ticket to support.
This is what traditionally stacking means, different hosts can have different rules/requirements etc
@hosthatch can explain it further!
Got it, thank you so much for the help! Very interesting to know that there may be other providers also offering it, never heard about that before.
Technically the provider makes extra profit from VPS stacking because they reclaim an IPv4 and (sometimes) a 10G line that they can redeploy to another customer, so it can be a win-win for both sides.
Not everyone offers it though since their systems may not be flexible enough to support it or it is too much manual hassle than it is worth.
not to derail the thread but just providing an example, here's the lovely @host_c 's rules for stacking/upgrading
https://host-c.com/knowledgebase/24/Service-Upgrade-Rules.html
Yes, that does make total sense. Are there any providers that would let you keep all the IPs, or is that rare to none?
In the past they also noted that the percentage of ‘dedicated cores’ goes up, but not shared cores.

and I think the plan being referenced was this
I don’t quite know if this is still how that is interpreted given its from Q4 2023, or how it works out when doing plans of different sizes. In that topic the 4 core plan was $145 while a 3 core one was $75, so they were naturally avoiding a scenario where people buy multiple 3 core plans for $150 to get 6 cores, and making the 4 core one less appealing.
Oh if that's still the case then the calculations would have to change very drastically haha, that'd basically mean the primary advantage for stacking is for RAM, no?

Might depend on the plan and if your use case suits it. You do get double NVME and bandwidth also. For a plan like the following where normally 50% of the cores are dedicated, stacking 2x would make 100% of the cores dedicated and perhaps that lets you treat it as if it was a VDS.
Some others you still get more dedicated CPU, but might need to stack more plans to get to 100% dedicated CPU as the standard percentage of dedicated resources is lower.
I’m sure they can clarify the current policy but. It did seem somewhat geared towards getting specs above and beyond the highest tier plan offered by combining multiple of those, rather than getting gains by playing with the smaller plans, where just paying for the next tier probably wins out (and saves their support effort).
edit: Also might make sense for a storage VPS if the storage is doubling, and you needed something with more than the largest advertised plan.
Right okay that makes sense, thanks for the insights @Smigit !
It's been "beta ready" for quite a while now, but we're trying to get some more stuff added before allow customers on it. Should be in the next couple of weeks.
We cancelled that plan and decided to keep it in the US.
Pretty much this. We're not going to stack multiple plans so someone can save a couple dollars and get an extra core or two instead of getting the next plan. We only do it in cases where it makes logical sense.
As a number of people have asked - we will reactivate some of these deals on 11th May, for 24 hours. Nothing new/fancy/crazy, but in case you missed them the last time, please grab one during these 24 hours.
