you cheeky German... I was checking out and it went out of stock in the process :-(
hahahahaHAHAHAHA - HA!
this year is tough though. most prices went up or at least the offers around them did not get better. so it's been time already to drop off unneeded stuff and only wait for the very few real things. one was 15€ year/KVM Frankfurt from @InceptionHosting and this @gleert reboot from last christmas now. I managed to even not buy netcup. I just don't need and their offers will come back anyway, so no real hurry, just fun watching.
Hosthatch is fine but I also cleaned up the ranks there and the new offers thankfully are more expensive - which is good, as I don't have to worry. only the 5TB storage is a gem, but I am settled with storage as well, so no buy as well.
@Unixfy said:
I'm really thrilled that I got in on that Hosthatch deal last year
the 10TB you mean? I was disappointed for a while that I did not grab something in UK back then. hopefully that won't happen if I let the 5TB slip now.
however I bought one of these cheap 4x2TB sys dedis a few weeks backs and still have plenty of room on a hetzner 3x3TB box... so I think I can live with it passing by ;-)

third date is actually okay; 12 months later, not so much...
on the other hand, more free time to play with VPS

Storage plans come on E5v2 or AMD Zen1 (it is not possible to choose), with RAID-50/60 and SSD caching. These are meant to be used for mass storage, and not I/O intensive tasks.
Important notes:
All orders are final and cannot be changed or refunded. We have limited capacity available. Please only buy if you are absolutely sure that you would like to use the server.
An order is considered final once it is paid for. There is no 'reservation' system.
We will cancel all unpaid orders after 60 minutes of them being unpaid. If you order something, do not pay for it, and it goes out of stock, we will not be able to offer it to you again.
We might offer some flash deals on Monday, however this isn't a promise. We have very limited capacity available this time around.
I understand that the pricing might look more expensive than the last year. This is to account for the newer hardware and much higher IP costs. This pricing also allows us to make a slightly healthier profit to offer you a better service and support in the future.
@Ympker said: WPVivid Backup Plugin is on sale (40% off Lifetime and Subscriptions) with code "202140off". Not really advertised on there website but I asked them via email if they are going to run a special deal and they sent me this.
It's also on https://lifetimo.com/deal/wpvivid-backup-plugin-pro-deal/ , so, perhaps, I just didn't see where they advertise their BF Discount.
On paper, it doesn't sound bad. Tried their free plugin sometimes and it did the job, too. Maybe I'll give this a shot :P
Automatic migration from free plugin transferred my website from website A to website B (domain and sub domain) without any problems or having to upload the backup on the destination website manually. Instead, you install the plugin on both sites and generate a key on target site which you paste in the plugin settings in the source site. Then you can just hit "Clone & Migrate".
I know you favour server/app backups rather than WP plugins, but due to recent events maybe something for you @bikegremlin ?

PS: thanks for doing the re-run from last year. Made some people happy.
Ivacy really is only good for unblocking streams, since their chrome extensions supports lots of streaming sites. VPN Speed has very slow for me. In fact, even the cheaper FastestVPN performs much better speed-wise.
Interesting: Seems Hosthatch has two different client panels ... (The BF orders are at cloud.hosthatch.com, while my existing service is at manage.hosthatch.com ...)
Anyways, seems Terrahost has a couple of offers:

cloud. is their new one but AFAIK they haven't migrated existing VPSes over yet. Their older one is built on top of SolusVM whereas the new one is completely standalone.
@Falzo said:

And hosthatch's panel just broke too.
Summary of what they offer this BF?
here is my summary of HostHatch's 2021 BF offers: you're not missing out on anything particularly exciting.
Their offers are good, they're just not insane like last year. They're building brand new servers with the latest AMD EPYC processors, so I don't blame them for charging a bit more.
Last year I got 3 cores (1 dedicated), 16GB RAM, 80GB NVMe, 5TB transfer for $60/year whereas this year it's 4 cores (2 dedicated), 16GB RAM, 100GB NVMe, 20TB transfer for $115/year. 2 dedicated EPYC cores are tempting, and I'm still thinking of getting it, but it may not be worth paying nearly double the price...
The main interest of this offer is the unusual (or "exotic") location: Halifax (in Nova Scotia, Canada)
Halifax Egg
Single CPU Core
1024MB ECC RAM
30GB SSD
5TB transfer
1x IPv4
/64 of IPv6
$30 / year with code BF2021001
(The normal price for a year is $150)
"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)

I completely agree with you and I don't blame them either. they set the bar really high last year and I'm very thankful for that
@Daniel said: Their offers are good, they're just not insane like last year. They're building brand new servers with the latest AMD EPYC processors, so I don't blame them for charging a bit more.
I'm deciding between renewing some past HH BF offer or
"consolidating"
into one or some of the new boxes.
I see no appalling/unsustainable deals however is some locations/DCs their price is still a steal.
Eventually I'll renew and consolidate....
Thankfully I don't have to act fast, so I don't have to multitask across multiple FLASH offers
I still F5 naranjatech sometimes...
Ok no, triple-checked the renewal invoices and the new offers
I'm going to just renew (I even managed to cut down an idler)
I also have a tax deadline on Tuesday and I need to prepare for some financial drainage

Has anyone seen any offers for 8+ GB RAM and 300+ GB SSD/NVMe? I've got that $12/m one from Wishosting that I posted a benchmark of elsewhere in this forum maybe a month ago, but it's in France, and ideally I'd like something on or near the US west coast (eg Los Angeles, San Jose, Fremont, Seattle, etc). Cloudcone's is the closest I've seen but ideally I'd like a bit more disk space and pure SSD rather than SSD cached.
@Daniel said: Has anyone seen any offers for 8+ GB RAM and 300+ GB SSD/NVMe?
8gb and 200gb NVMe any good?
200GB is too small unfortunately I've got a Prometheus instance with ~80GB data and a Sentry instance with ~100GB data, on two separate systems at the moment (one regular SSD, one NVMe SSD) and I want to move them onto a single VPS with room to grow. Maybe I should move to HDD storage and deal with the slower seek/read times, or stick to the Wishosting VPS and deal with the fact that it's in France.
