BF 25 deals in EU/US/APAC

Not sure how different this is to the current HFC, but here's a YABS from my HFC in SG bought a couple of years ago.
This isn't entirely idle as I have several nested VMs on this, my top looks like this:
The GB6 score has dropped a bit since when I first got it, I guess the node is a bit busier now. When first set up (Sun Oct 15 21:01:41 UTC 2023):
$100 becomes $120 in Seoul (formerly known as Unknown).
No reason to buy now.
Just travel back in time and buy on Cyber Monday.
Hehe, I was still considering another one - when we bought ours we had no idea if the network would be good or not, now we do, so there's less risk in the purchase!
Annoyed I didn't get the storage VPS I wanted back on CM though. I was so excited about ordering Seoul, I completely forgot about my storage needs!
Thanks @hosthatch for offering your wares to us LET heathens.
HH Japan. With 7763 I expected to be lower than yours but 938 seems a bit too low.
But running some low memory, low cpu hungry apps so more than enough for me now.
It was $35 per annum I think.
The main difference is that you just have 2 fair-share cores, the next one up has 1 dedicated + 2 fair-share cores.
You still might not get 100% of the dedicated as it's a thread not a core, but it'll certainly help.
Just noticed the $35. You just have the lowest spec NVMe one, mine is the higher spec HFC one. Mine was $150/2yr (massive discount when they were first added to the lineup), which is now $255/2y two years later.
Understood.
But can you explain what is 0.5 dedicated core? How can it be half of a vcore which is dedicated?
There's a few ways of doing dedicated vcores, basically because there are 2 threads to a core.
If you have 0.5 dedicated, then you can either do like the 2nd, but limit CPU time even lower. Or you do like 3 but put those people in a pool with half the dedicated resources compared to users.
So, e.g. you are selling 1 dedicated + 2 fair use. On a 64 core machine, you might have 32 VMs, a pool of 32 that each VM gets 1 from, and a pool of 31 that each VM gets 2 vcores from. They should get close to 100% from their dedicated CPU unless the host is extremely busy. They will probably get 50% from their fair-use unless the host is quite quiet.
Not sure the degree things are oversold. This example might be more like 40 VMs and 40+23 split or as extreme as 48+15 depending how mean the provider is.
Invoice #588346 Plz double, and Why did I pay more than the posted price? Did I miss a coupon? I was charged $330, but the post says $300.
Because you didn't read:
and no need to request the double.

It lists the new markup
I believe that they just want to say to keep your average CPU usage at or below 25% (in the case of 0.5 dedicated core, 1.5 fairly shared cores, because 0.5 / 2 = 0.25 = 25%).
@hosthatch can confirm it, but I'd be surprised if it's anything else.
Thank you guys
Still undecided on whether to identify as "I" or "we"?
No.
"when we bought ours" means me, you and whoever also pre-ordered Seoul with zero idea whether the network would be any good or not.
PS I know you know but 咱们 us.
Invoice #588674
Please double
Your bandwidth has been halved.
just curious, did u finally snatch the flash sale after missing the one on BF? i remember seeing you comment a few weeks ago
I thought I posted a comment last night saying I did and was going to bed, but when I replied above, it looks like I didn't submit properly and it was still in draft. Then I just deleted it for being 22 hours late.
Paid $30 more than if I bought it on BF, but I thought I could run some shit on an existing 2GB RAM and turned out I was very mistaken. So took this opportunity to get in on a 16GB before prices get even worse.
I bought 4-5 Intel 265k setups just because of BF deals but two of them likely going to do nothing until I stumble into more DDR5. I didn't stock up enough right as prices started going up just after the last Amazon Prime sale.
i see. i think i got the same one as you. i wish i bought it on bf cause i’d only have to pay $150. but oh well.
hopefully my vps unpends soon 😩
HFC is the latest series of plans that we offer, that are based on AMD 9950X CPUs (the first time we offered them was on BF 25).
Ah, good to know, and sorry for spreading wrong information. The one I have is from https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/189358/us-eu-and-apac-deals-october-2023/p1
Is that equivalent to the current NVMe range then, or just a one off?
Seems the offer is over. @hosthatch Thank you.
Hello, I have a Hong Kong server account with a plan of $35 per year. If I upgrade it to a three-year plan via a support ticket, will its memory and bandwidth double? Will the price be $103? Looking forward to your reply.
The sale has already ended. Also, the offer clearly states that offers can't be changed at all after sale.
I want to inform you that the IP range of your servers that I am currently using is completely inaccessible in mainland China via China Unicom due to timeouts. This happened suddenly, but it works fine with China Telecom and China Mobile. Currently, I know of IP addresses starting with 161, 188, and 151, which are located in Japan and Hong Kong, respectively. I tested other IPs starting with 161, and the problem persists. What could be the reason for this? My business is being affected as a result.
My Hong Kong server isn't deployed yet; you guys are too slow.
oh no, are you losing millions of dollars a day sir?
Indeed. Per ping.pe probe from China Unicom:
This appears to be network instability rather than GFW blockage.
You need to specify the /24 subnet, which matches the BGP announcements.
Giving only the first octet means nothing.
