Black Friday 2019 best VPS under 7 bucks
I have been watching the BF2019 deals with interest and I guess I will put together in one thread the value assessments I am doing this period to see who gives the best value for the least money. I am selectively choosing only those VPS I think have a shot at winning and must be from reliable providers (else I won't have time for anything else).
The current standing:
- UltraVPS.eu SAS-Special-1 (LEBRE score: 281)
- HostDoc Dallas Dual Compute (LEBRE score: 194)

if it's not $7/year then its not a Black Friday.
I was also expecting
Silly me.
Don't worry Ant has some coming at https://inceptionhosting.com/limited-offers.html
7 a year can get you something but not sure how useful it will be. Best value, not absolutely cheap and not useable

Thought the title means $7/year. D;
It's probably going to be €7(at best $7 if top advertising word is right), so strictly not under $7/year.
Still, assuming it's the 100GB+IPv4 plan at the price of €7, would be a deal too good to pass.
oopsie!

That was quick!
I restored balance and put a €6.99 p/year offer up.

The balance on LES was restored
also @poisson found
Deal
Php-friends is still doable at EUR 4,95 including VAT (cheaper with non EU)
I bench YABS 24/7/365 unless it's a leap year.
yes, but unfortunately not very competitive this time.. at that price point might as well do hostdoc or UltraVPS.eu.. if they offered higher RAM or more vCPU, that would be difficult to resist

dedicated thread, RAID 10 SSD, first-colo network. schnupperspecial has been prem for me
I bench YABS 24/7/365 unless it's a leap year.
Edit : in addition to the ultravps SAS,
I personally like the liteserver 3 Eur storage HDD.
1 E3 vCPU, 1GBram, 0.5 TB raid10 disk, 6TB transfer.
Considering additional IP costs on Hetzner, I'd rather move seafile /nextcloud to something like this, from the dedi.
Link to above is here, note 40% off coupon at top of page: https://liteserver.nl/hdd-storage-vps/
These days as a pure storage hog I find that offer kind of meh, but Liteserver is a good host.

Looks like the usual BF cpusteal is acting up.
Wait 7 days before checking again.
Not familiar with Liteserver. Your expert opinion, please. I would like to know if it is another solid provider.

SOLID and FRIENDLY.
That's just icing on a beefy infrastructure cake.
Liteserver is solid.
I have less need for EU VPSes nowadays, but in the past had only good experiences with LiteServer. Excellent support.
+1 for @liteserver. I trust them with my main VPN box for over 4 years now.
that php friends is a good offer also @liteserver for the location
@liteserver ftw!

50% off recurring with BF2019VPS
so you end up paying $2.50/month or $30/year
I dont know about the provider, but for Swiss, its damn cheap
The thing is that you've become a true storage aficionado, whereas most of the rest of us have much more modest storage needs
Edit: And, of course, this is a KVM from LiteServer (and not some OVZ where you're not allowed to do apt dist-upgrade)

Yeah, I also find the PHP-Friends offer to be excellent -- one needs to look a bit beyond the simple specs of the VPS.
Still debating whether to get it ...

Mate don't wait.

That's the first one that has my finger hovering over the buy button. I think I've been spoiled in previous years where I've got 4GB+ ram, 40-100GB disk for ~$20.
