lol thanks @JabJab
Yes, that's yours truly Looking for SG 1c2G10Gnvme <$20/y or GC SG holiday-2025/FAT32 $3.2/yr for $10+$10(transfer fee
Well, at least you have some kind of participation outside of begging. Didn't take a scientist to predict the outcome of that request though.
Yep. Then people create support tickets to the provider demanding those deals just because or during the sale people demanding they get the deal because they had it in their cart and it "glitched" and disappeared or their VPN triggered fraud protection and they lost out.
Yeah. No one want to make quick bucks. Ended up sleeping for 2 hour or less to snatch the Top Host sale. And what grinds my gear? I got @FAT32 Utah (futa for short) Instead of @FAT32 singapore (fore for short)
And he lived happily ever after.
Personally, I thought their 4th July offers showed exactly that. Scaled back ram and disk offerings.
i don't use budget VPS because all my VPSes are for production, so i only use VDS or dedicated server, for these products, Greencloudvps is not cheap.
and for budget VPS, i believe proviers like racknerd and hostdzire (leaseweb reseller) can offer you very good yearly package
Sounds like a road to success.
You mean you guys didn't snatch up them bad boys? @allthemtings is offering them for cheap.
Nah, i mean, you know that i don't really do transfers and i figure most other people also passed on the offer for this or that exact reason.
They are definitely not cheap on disk, particularly when you need more of it and ask their sales team.
Okay yeah that is true, asking extras is very expensive but that is general experience. There is reason they are giving you that set limit in the budget tier and why asking anything more is expensive.
GC use sample CPUs on some nodes, I think. Two of my VPSes (out of like 8) don't show the actual CPU now, but I'm pretty sure they used to show that the CPU was a qualification sample, not an actual released CPU. You aren't supposed to use them in production and you can't even own them AFAIK, AMD/Intel only loan them out. But sometimes they fall off a truck or a company goes bankrupt and just liquidates everything. Almost certain it's cheaper to buy one of these than a final production CPU.
Or maybe I'm hallucinating, I remember seeing it while setting up the VPS and not caring and it's been a while since Black Friday.
I've never had any CPU issues with GC and they're cheap so I don't care about the weird CPUs.
Yea, aliexpress cpus. All is good if price is nice.
Lol you shouldn't think like that. GreenCloud gets this every year and that is part of the reason they win a lot on lowendtalk.
My post won't change their mind, they have a business model to follow. They know jacking up the prices tomorrow would mean less customers, less awards, less recommendations etc
They most likely know what they are doing.
"i believe proviers like racknerd and hostdzire (leaseweb reseller) can offer you very good yearly package"
Trust me brother, I do not just "believe" I actually went on a hunt to find out and you'll find that discussion post on my profile.
Neither of the providers you mentioned provide as good yearly packages as GreenCloud, they USED to be good but that was years ago. Leaseweb has RACKED up prices since then and it goes for the rest too.
Which GreenCloud are you referring to? Could you share the GreenCloud website or a link to the provider?
Also, where can I find the $3.2/year VPS mentioned in this thread? Was it a limited-time promotion, a Black Friday deal or is there another provider I'm missing?
I'd appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction.
The key term here I think is Budget VPS
Once you go to premium category, scenario becomes opposite. Greencloud is one of the expensive ones while many other provide even Ryzen 9950x or Turin in much less.
It's shockingly fast. They've responded in less than a minute, more than once!
I paid for four years, but I let it sit unused for two. Now I’m using it, and I imagine a lot of people do the same. But if GreenCloud launches a new, attractive offer tomorrow, I’ll probably buy again. I don’t know—maybe it’s just psychology, but they’re really good at selling. As for the VPS, I like it—it’s fast and stable, which is why I’m considering buying more from them.

3.2/year VPS was a VERY limited quantity and time offer during one of their sales. https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/4823958/#Comment_4823958
Though, they might have an anniversary sale coming up in the next few months, October I believe. May see a few flash deals then.
Most of those very limited offers were gone within just a few seconds. Even with everyone glued to the thread and racing to get them as quickly as possible, only a few do. It's a little like a lottery.
With the exception of the same bunch of people buying those servers but yeah.
It's a disease! Some of us have addiction!
This is korrect, my young friend.
Some have special techniques or are just faster, I guess, so they've got a better chance.
Oh yes oh yes
