    The 75% were found and purchased almost immediately. There is still a 35% and 50% left. :)

  • Nice! (or as @smallweb says... Noice! )

  • Very impractical trying to figure these out on mobile ... :s

  • I've given up on getting any of the (non ADD35) MaxKVM coupons to apply, it's either expired or doesn't apply to product ... And I often only have my cell phone available ... ?‍♂️ B)

    Besides their flash deals, SKVM-4G-4CPU is also a great deal tho. currently I'm using it, you can read my review on other green forum :D

    and if you are a student or they give you sweet 50% off too

    Try HOSTLOC50. It's a 50% coupon and works on most products.

    You don't have to be a student. You just need an .edu inbox. Teachers, postdocs, and alumni have those in addition to students.

    ID.me can do student identity verification, but it'll cost more to the seller/provider.

    if adding extra 2core-cpus to cart and make the 4g plan identical to 4g-4cpu flash plan, even with a normal discount, they are of (almost) the same price.

    No, please take a look

    $29.84 - $14.92 = it should be $14.92

    Not $44.76 which is the result from 29.84 + 14.92

    Also, you can see the monthly recurring charges also increased

  • ... Just like ADD35 adds, instead if subtracts ...

    oh, I don't know that, it can be abused then :open_mouth:

    The terms for EDU50 never says "student". It says ".edu inbox".
    Thus, it's not an abuse for a non-student to apply EDU50.

    My current box is 1GB on LUMPOFCOAL, same price as 512MB on EDU50 that I had 5 months ago, but double RAM.
    However, if I cancel this one then want a box again a few months later, I'll go back to 512MB on EDU50.

    This is correct for HOSTLOC50, -50% discount, i.e. increase the price by 50%.

    29.84 × (1 - (-0.50)) = 44.76
    

    It always feels great to pay 50% more for a great service.

    Ah yes, there's a negative sign before, so - + - become ++

    .edu domains are not used or very uncommon in Europe sadly.

    I've read it somewhere that MaxKVM use this university domain list https://github.com/Hipo/university-domains-list
    So as long your university domain is in that list you will be eligible, or you can contact their support and ask for student verification

  • Hi MaxKVM!

    Are there going to be any chance that the SKVM-4G-4CPU promo also expanded to Singapore Datacenter?

    Thanks in advance and wishing you guys well on the other side of the screen

    after reading some of the previous comments, order now in any available location then you can move to SG later if it's available.

    This is the correct answer. There may be some availability on 1/1/21 for a short time, but general availability will be in 2-4 weeks.

    It's best to order now if you're interested and then submit a ticket to migrate once you see that Singapore is available once again. The SKVM-256M, SKVM-2G-2CPU and SKVM-4G-4CPU will disappear after 1/1/21. :)

    Will these be new nodes?

    @MaxKVM said:

    The SKVM-256M, SKVM-2G-2CPU and SKVM-4G-4CPU will disappear after 1/1/21.

    Is this due to stock issues or are you permanently retiring these plans?

    Yes, there will be new nodes with upgrades to the others.

    Those plans are not part of the regular lineup and were limited Saturday offers some months ago before they were released again for this Christmas/New Year Sale. They might be back for a different sale. :)

  • Oh yeah, of course! I didn't realize that you were referring to the special plans you had for sale!

    Can we get a sneak peek on the specs of these new nodes?

    Thanks a lot for the suggestion! Will patiently wait for the plan to be available in Singapore :+1:

    Oh yeah, quick question how can I check if Singapore is available for those packages later on? As the packages will dissapear after 1/1/21?

    How much was the discount today?

    LinuxFreek.com — Thank you for your attention to this matter

  • @Freek said: How much was the discount today?

    Promotional Code: 01-01-2021 - 77.70% Recurring Discount

    Aaahhh... the satisfaction of having snagged a VM despite the site being dog slow today at the time.

  • @nullnothere What did you get and at what price?

  • @casadebamburojo said:
    What did you get and at what price?

    SKVM-4G at $32.11 / year (annual renewal)

    Hoping to get it provisioned/migrated to SG when it can.

    I know right hahaha
    I've been following this MaxKVM sale since their first flash sale on another green forum.

    Manage to get 2 Flash Sale and 1 Normal sale,

    SKVM-4G-4CPU - from their holiday discount
    PKVM-6G - 65% Off from flash sale
    PKVM-8G - 77% Off from flash sale

    Waiting for PKVM-6G & PKVM-8G to be migrated to Singapore and after that, I will cancel my SKVM-4G-4CPU

  • @DianTama said: I will cancel my SKVM-4G-4CPU

    I'd say if allowed, offer/transfer it to folks who have a use case for it. I think those of us who managed to get a (good) VM are very lucky and there are many others who would really be happy to take it off you whenever you're done.

    Great way to give back to the community and keep the jewels in the "family".

    But I think 4G-4CPU is not that special since it's still available to order now

  • @DianTama said: But I think 4G-4CPU is not that special since it's still available to order now

    Aah... right. But they'll be gone soon and I'm sure a few laggards will whine about it. Never hurts to offer though before letting (rare and good deals) go.

  • @MaxKVM is it possible to upgrade an existing 1G VM to 4G-4C VM? I see the upgrade option for all other plans, but not this one.

  • As promised, here are a few promotion codes if you missed out on the 01-01-2021 promo:

    01-01-2021-FDHA7I4D0E

    01-01-2021-QY2J9VDA37
    01-01-2021-SWA2B8W6SY
    

    This should be the last of the promo codes. The SKVM-256M, SKVM-2G-2CPU, and SKVM-4G-4CPU will not be available after midnight tonight.

    Good luck! B)

    Weird, been trying it for a couple of days, no joy. At first, I thought it was a stock issue, until I checked the direct link to pid=14.
    Could you please reply to this post in case you fix this little issue, before you EOL the product? :tongue:

    I have, but MaxKVM doesn't allow transfers and I have another VPS in my account that I actively use. Stupid.
