  • This black friday I only got 4nats and a ipv6 storage.
    9+8+12
    I renew deals from last blackfriday which is much better.

    Action and Reaction in history

    Ah, okay, good to see that at least one VirMach VPS was adopted by you this year :)

    The $10/2 year plan had limitations that the $10/year plan didn't have

    The limits were lifted on CM. The only limit now is the storage (the $10/yr still offer better price x specs).

    Did I miss the link for this one? Care to share?

    Do you mean the $10/yr?

    $5/yr
    https://portal.mxroute.com/cart.php?a=add&pid=99

    Even for people that got the $5yr on BF (with the limits) had their limits lifted, according to the owner MXRoute.

    I meant the $ 5/ year deal. Thanks I recall reading on LET that someone wanted to transfer their $ 15 plan to $ 5 one. Thinking of doing something similar. Have eight or ten accounts that are happily idling on last year's BF offer which I of course signed up for a year.

    Lesson learnt- do not type while having coffee. When Sipping overrides typing, messages get posted incomplete.

    Just remember, this plan is 2GB. The $10 is 25GB.

    Also, to transfer your stuff, you'd have to do it manually, as they stated they wouldn't do any type of transfer from existing services to these new ones.

  • Indeed. Fortunately, all but one account only has the 'welcome' email that comes default. Might be painful to make changes for each account's DNS but that is one time.
    I think the $ 15 plan is 100 GB - way overkill unless I want to email large files to myself from one account to another :-)

    I bench YABS 24/7/365 unless it's a leap year.

    I seen quite a few deals that were interesting but resisted. Often I found that buying from the majority of LE* providers around this time results in fairly shit performance so I tend to avoid most of them.

    Yes. I had boxes that ran ok with providers that are massively popular during this period, and they are now stuttering with the influx.

    That's... quite underwhelming for 4 core. Guess I will stay away from Virmach. I will probably be remorseful despite the price.

    They'll probably settle down again after some cancellations (buyer remorse, haha).

    Just like getting on the highway at peak times. Wait it out a couple weeks and everything will be back to normal. Abusers will be dealt with, and the rest will be comfortable within their new digs and will have to fall in line.


    My watch is still pretty nifty.
