I have that same chicken in the same location (LT) and I'm very happy with it. It's an all-around solid VPS. I just wish the bandwidth cap was a bit higher than 8 TB! But it's such a great deal that I really can't complain.
What are you doing with a 30GB disk that requires more than 8TB of bandwidth?

That means you're transferring the disk 273 times a month! Or 8.8 times a day!
It runs a Tor non-exit relay (which uses almost no disk). After about half of the month is through, the relay enters hibernation for its remainder as it approaches the bandwidth cap. I plan to set up Hyphanet (a lower-bandwidth distributed data store) to make use of the free 10 Mbps that remains even when the bandwidth cap has been exceeded.

European relays tend to use a lot more bandwidth than non-European relays.

This is the relay (ignore the incorrect GeoIP info, it's in LT not the US):
https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/58F46CEEA4E3BB6EDA3E37BAD31E1326D61E17D4
Be careful, we dont allow it per our TOS, this is already listed in Prohibited Usage:

"- Tor exit nodes, Tor relays, Tor bridges, Tor hidden services, or any other Tor‑related activity"
(Edit) It wasn't in the AUP when I first read it. It must be a relatively new addition. Damn.
https://web.archive.org/web/20251205021353/https://solidvps.com/acceptable-usage-policy.php

I think @Jar has a reason for disliking you. Public Tor is usually not allowed on VPS.
You should have consulted the vendor beforehand, instead of exploiting the TOS vulnerability in @SolidVPS.
Nevertheless, suppliers also have the right to fix the loopholes.

Yes, according to the intel, it seems to be a Dutch plan with 1 core, 1GB RAM, 20GB storage, and 5TB bandwidth, costing just over $7 per year.

Consider making dummy offers -> ordered -> ban or disqualified from future flash sale.
Also, enforce 3DS

No

It's ran by the same affiliate person as:

colocross[.]ing

a few more

Basically a listing and possibly whmcs scanner (?) of promo plans with affiliate links.

Oh, yes, now it's gone. But when i posted it was still working, because I checked more packages, in incognito mode. It was working 30 mins ago.

Sorry guys.

I've got a 1.5TB storage (LEB post) with 22.09 using this code, last night, just before midnight.

And the coupon was still functional this morning. Sorry. Maybe Dedi will make us another awesome offer.
