I am sorry if anyone misunderstood my post as a personal discontent with the $7/y offer. Each company determines the price based on their own preferences, and I have no problems with that. However, I am curious about why such requests are frequently posted in recent times. From my experience such offers used most likely for VPN/proxy - are it is main request at this times?
is this not childish?
Can you sell dedicated rock for 7/year?
Its a Let thing. It doesn't always literally mean $7, asking for $7 deals just means something cheap.
Capitalism!
Our local retailers are now crying because customers go to their offline shops, waste the time of their salespeople, and then return home and order the same goods on some marketplace, because it is cheaper. I just think this is a symptom of big changes in communication between vendors/salespeople and customers.
7/y are really good stuff for small projects and not just
Has been like that over here like 2 decades ago. Overtime offline shops disappeared, lots can be ordered online.
There's some good and some bad in it.
If you are serious about this post and not mocking. It means you are following the trend like 10 years behind.
Online shopping (for anything) is more popular than traditional brick and mortars sale as they tend to be cheaper, you can compare prices.
Everyone is asking for cheap prices, for everything. There is no loyalty, or brand addiction. If something is cheap somewhere else, they will go and buy it from there.
I bought a domain registered in 2001, can I join in?
I am absolutely serious.
The problem is that in Russia, many businesspeople have been taught business principles from American loyalty training manuals published in the 1950s.
I don't think these principles are completely obsolete. I can purchase jeans any brand, not only Levi's, but when it comes to choosing a server, I prefer HP, Dell, or at least Supermicro.
For $7/y? sure. Most of the time, it's so that I can idle more VPSes or run some lowend scripts
7 is the true golden number to which everything leads and that connects all things.
1.618
1 + 6 = 7 and 7 + 1 = 8
I came here to say exactly the same thing, except I've had a few $7/yr deals, (plus others with more resources at similarly implausible prices), and they've all been abandoned for triggering so many Zabbix emails that it was draining my phone battery.
Even when they were idling I'd get emails about high CPU usage and slow disk read/write speeds, when they're just performing basic Operating System tasks. I'm all for cheap servers, but not at the expense of my phone battery.
Not correct. For the USA, we charge ~$1.9 and you can order any number of VPSs with unlimited traffic at 150 Mbps, with no port restrictions. For Russia, we charge $2.37, for Finland, $2.85, and for Germany, $4.75. Why are the prices different even though the plans are the same? For various reasons, but based on a capitalistic calculation
No problem i like the deal. Very worth it
what's with russian "people" and the mindset of eternal self-victimizing ? always the rules/someone else's fault .
this is super mature and professional managing practice for the russians ,no wonder they constantly ran their country into ground with all kind of freakish leaders
I have not even opened it. However, overall very good summary of $7/y approach.
I was just talking to @DigitalFyre about this. Mainly it's for marketing, the exposure gain is insane especially when run in a festive season, so not really for a big profit.
Anything is possible @Levi
@DediRock if you have offers on storage 1TB i'll consider it.
i started to like you.
because you see the big picture and you let it all burn at same time.
I'd challenge him in a fierce battle of freestyle canoeing......
Yes, comrade, we need a communism here. Everyone should get a $7 chicken.
can we ban everybody that posts an image, thanks.
