  • I am afraid I went a bit overboard this year... unexpected, didn't want to spent any money (though usually allow myself a budget of ~200€ , just in case)

    2c/2G/2TB storage servarica CAN $48/y
    2c/2G/40G SSD clouveo AMS 17.5€/y
    4c/2G/80G SSD inceptionhosting LON 7.5€/q
    2c/8G/40G NVME hosthatch NYC $30/y
    2c/8G/40G NVME hosthatch LON $30/y
    1c/4G/2TB storage hosthatch CHI $40/y

    probably getting another 2/4/100 SAS special from ultravps in AMS (~33€/y) and pre-ordered a special deal with VM Specialist for NYC & LON (2x40€/y) ;-)

    so I am already about 100€ short on the budget, but on the other hand I'll consolidate on some older services... I will... probably. ?‍♂️

    I also had some existing services upgraded to this years terms free of charge with f.i. freerangecloud and again hosthatch - much appreciated as existing customer, thank you!

    also finally made a shortcut in xshell:

  • And I bit again... Couldn't resist the dealz...

    1Core, 512MB,OpenVZ,250GB HDD, 500GB Transfer, Finland, $16/yr

    Ofcourse, most NAT VPS can be used "normally", atleast HTTP, when putting CloudFlare in the middle:

    Not much hosting related.
    This is what was my ”premium” buy this year.

    Was 3749kr
    Got it for 2678kr

    Yeah, thats Swedish Kronor. Do the exchange conversion yourself.

    Linkage? I was looking for a displayport kvm that can do 4k@60hz but it's such a minefield. It's all 4k@30hz

  • My final BF loot:

    • 17 VPS from HostHatch (1x 8GB, 13x 2GB, 3x 1GB)
    • X Theme for WordPress

    That's it :)

  • @K4Y5 said:
    Oh man, quite a lot that I will probably get around to testing over the next month or so. Will be keeping the good ones and unceremoniously dropping the turds. :tongue:

    Most of these VMs will be replacing aging HDD / SSD OVZ and KVM boxes that I have with some providers for years - replete with old-ass, under performing and vulnerable Intel CPUs and drives that are just slow by current standards.

    Anyway, here is some stuff that I bought so far:

    • 1x @exception0x876 Black Friday Special 8G KVM in FR that I am probably going to keep for life.
    • 1x @AnthonySmith 2GB KVM SSD special in UK with a couple of snappy E-2276G cores
    • 1x @LiteServer 4GB KVM in NL
    • 1x @LiteServer 2GB KVM in NL
    • 1x @RackNerd 4GB KVM in NYC that will be moved to NL soon™
    • 1x @VPSSLIM 4GB KVM in NL
    • 1x @cociu special 4GB KVM with 500GB SSD in NO.
    • 1x @hosthatch 6TB Storage KVM in NL
    • 1x @hosthatch 8GB KVM in NL
    • 1x @hosthatch 512M KVM during their Flash sale in Stockholm
    • 1x @hosthatch 250GB Storage KVM during their Flash sale in Stockholm
    • 1x @BharatB 4GB KVM in Mumbai as I needed something exotic in the mix PS: @hosthatch, Not gonna drop the older services. They still kick serious ass :wink:

    As if they weren't already enough.. here's the latest one!

    • 1x @hosthatch 2TB Storage KVM from their last flash sale in Stockholm
  • edited December 2020

    I name my boxes vps0-vps9, so I'm only allowed up to ten boxes.
    After this Black Friday, my list is:

    • vps5: Virmach KVM-Lite 384MB in Buffalo (2017 BF), Asterisk and QUIC-UDP gateway
    • vps7: SmartHost KVM 2GB in Los Angeles (2019 April), main website; will be canceled in 2021 March (or not)
    • vps8: HostSlick VZ7 4GB in Amsterdam (2019 BF), Wikipedia mirror for my father; will be canceled in 2020 December
    • vps9: Gullo NAT 128MB in Germany (2019 BF), Named Data Networking testbed monitoring probe
    • vps0: Evolution Host KVM 2GB in Oregon (2019 October, free), Docker development
    • vps1: MaxKVM 512MB in Singapore (2020 August), secondary repository for push-up videos; will be canceled in 2020 December, sorry but China routing is still not good after waiting 3 months
    • vps2: EUserv VS2-FREE (2020 November, free), completely idle
    • vps3: Gullo NAT 128MB in Cananda (2020 BF), primary repository for push-up videos
    • vps4: Spartan Host KVM 1GB in Seattle (2020 BF), currently powered off but the main website will be moved here

    There's only one spot vps6 left.
    Its last life was a Google Cloud free tier box, but I canceled it after idling for 2 years.
    I need to save this hostname for an Oracle Cloud free tier box.

    More details on the last two boxes, newly obtained this weekend:

    Also, I got MXRoute 2GB, $5/year. I'm reading up SPF, etc. It'll take a while because it becomes non-idle.


    push-ups

    Push-ups solve all the problems. Serve push-up videos from all your VPS. Never leave a VPS idle again!

    Webhosting24 aff best VPS; ServerFactory aff best VDS; Cloudie best ASN; Huel aff best brotein.
