Let me know if you find any that have a policy similar to hostsolutions with regards to "linux isos", but with an uptime that is not "down right now".
Hey teamacc. You're a dick. (c) Jon Biloh, 2020.
I checked with customer support the 2tb storage is for the 1st year only it seems
@teamacc @FAT32 Stacksocial in mind. They might drop some discounts on BF/CM again and you might snag FastestVPN below 12$ and/or Keepsolid for around 10-15$

Hm... The storage is most likely Interserver- they have been typing up with VPN providers, I would pass on the storage and look at the PVN part only- a dollar a month is not bad; $ 3 with static ip.

@FAT32 for what it's worth, FastestVPN LTD with 2 concurrent devices drops to 10.50$ with code "APPS30" atm.
Perhaps on BF/CM directly there will be a better deal but this would already be something for @FAT32 10$ request

@fat32 meant 10 Singapore dollars !
Edit: works out to about US $7
Coincidence ?

I should mention the VPS special ("vServer Schnupperspecial 2021 NVMe") from PHP-Friends that has just appeared:
See: https://php-friends.de/vserver-ssd/vserver-schnupperspecial-2021-nvme
Usually, their Schnupperspecial arrives earlier (at the end of October), so strictly speaking, this special isn't a BF special (despite the proximity to BF this year).
"A single swap file or partition may be up to 128 MB in size. [...] [I]f you need 256 MB of swap, you can create two 128-MB swap partitions." (M. Welsh & L. Kaufman, Running Linux, 2e, 1996, p. 49)
Ordered one. Finished for this BF before it even started.
I'm strongly tempted as well, but I'm trying to exercise self-control, which isn't easy!
PHP-Friends will probably have a BF special (though they haven't said anything about this so far), but I strongly suspect that if they do have a BF special, it will be with an older CPU and not be NVMe.

Could well be. The main reason I ordered one is that this their first special based on their G3 platform, with relatively new hardware and NVMe. Relatively it’s a better deal than most of the deals from the last year too.
Does PHP-Friends have an offer for new sign ups?

Where is good, old DN40?

WPAstra Theme is also up to 63% OFF now: https://wpastra.com/pricing
Anyone still using Astra? I use it on one website atm, however kinda unsure whether it is really worth the purchase.
Also: Not sure, whether this is an actual "deal", but the Samsung T5 External SSD 2TB is available on Amazon for 149€. I thought this was a good price for external SSDs. After asking about people's experience with NVMe drives, I realized I had only one M2 slot on my motherboard which was already occupied, so I opted for an external SSD instead of a regular internal SATA SSD to have a bit more flexibilty.

I'd keep an eye on a new motherboard than on a slow external drive.

Any promotion for either NordVPN, PureVPN or Windscribe?

Netcup released their schedule for BF this year: https://www.netcup-news.de/2021/11/22/fahrplan-fuer-den-black-friday-2021/
quite some things they had already in between, RS 2000 G9 at 11,20 is a lot of value for instance... but also the hurricane, volacno and tornado things might become interesting, depending on what the final specs are. as usual one should be really on time for the good offers, as they are expected to sell out quickly.
I'll try to keep track and post the order links in here, as soon as I get to know them.
also keep in mind, that netcup has strict contracts, billing terms and cancellation periods. that's not everyones cup of tea, so don't bother, if you're not willing to deal with that ;-)
I like Divi more
I remember having a lot of performance problems w/ astra before.
The whole rig is new, so not looking to change the mb. Also, "slow external drive" is probably up to perception. I already have a T3 external SSD in use and was quite happy with the Crystal Performance I measured. Definitely faster than HDD and only a tad below my internal SATA SSD at that time.
Of course, M2 is another story, but for gaming I find that the T3 (and, likely also the T5), do a good job.

I am sure they will have a sale going-on on their websites, respectively. No LTDs, though. I assume.

does not look like it. the cheapest RS offer seems to be the one labeled 'Flash' for 10 bucks and I'd expect it to be something like 2 core, 12 GB, 320 GB - simply as they had similar offers before. puts it somewhere between RS 1000 and 2000 though.
This will be the official thread for BF/CM or are we expecting a new one come Thursday/Friday?

+1 for this being the official one.
don't see a reason to add more threads while the whole BF train is speeding up already ;-) it's hard to keep track of everything, so rather use this one and even pin it @mikho @Mason ?
PS:
Done

thanks mate!
@InceptionHosting sorted this for you. now would you please start posting your offers already? :-P
It doesn't seem like someone else has reported it, but Hetzner is offering AX/PX dedis with no setup fee for the Black Friday week.
I am tempted to buy 3 AX41-NVME in Helsinki. Do you think Helsinki would be a bad location in terms of latency for US users? For most locations the difference seems to be max 20ms compared to Falkenstein.
At the moment I have cloud servers in their new Ashburn, Virginia location. I would love the dedicated resources and higher specs of those dedis, so I am just concerned about the latency. WDYT?
