Kimsufi and SoYouStart BlackFriday deals

Some pretty nice offers this year. No idea what stock they have, but the price seems to be valid until you cancel the contract. So not just first month.

    IMO, unless you plan on running a gazillion VMs on a single box and thus are in need of fast memory i.e. DDR4, the SYS BF deal is shit TBH, since LET-wise (i.e., cost/performance-wise), the regular (albeit, seemingly constantly out of stock) SYS2(SSD/HDD) deal is much better (at the very least, it's a lowend Hetzner auction killer I guess...)... but the Kimsufi BF deal is really nice if you don't need as much resources! (and the cost/performance is even better - it's more than double for only about 50% more money per month, compared to the legendary Kimsufi KS7 BHS deal from a while ago: https://www.kimsufi.com/us/en/order/kimsufi.xml?reference=1804sk181 )

  • On the KS-LE, "special offer valid for entire commitment duration" means non-recurring, right? So prepay for 1 year and get the discounted price for 1 year, but the second year reverts to higher pricing?

    Pretty sure it's recurring even when choosing to pay monthly.

  • Got one from KS!

  • Can confirm; I ordered one on 1-month, went through the motions of renewing, and the rate is still 15EUR/mo. I'm seeing about 200Mbps in and 100Mbps out, even from BHS-3 to BHS-1. Motherboard is X9SRE/X9SRI. Drives have 39k and 41k hrs; HUS724020ALA640.

    Depends, still got a KS-7 aka KS-3C but with the specs of KS-10 aka KS-4C and half the price of a KS-3C
    Still I think about buying in.

    So if Kimsufi had listed it at 20$ / month regular price, would you still have ordered? It's like a promo/deal which in itself doesn't have much value and the psychological aspect of original price is the only factor at play here. At 100Mbps, 2x2TB HDD, for 15 Euros, it is still pathetic IMO compared to SYS or Hetzner.

    23.5, with faster network (1Gbps) and more HDD (2x 3TB). SYS new range also offers more value. 8TB HDD (2x storage), better network (guaranteed 250Mbps)

    Well this one has 1Gbit Down, just 100Mbit Up.
    Depends, if you need that 1Gbit Up and x2 Storage yes.

    Otherwise no.

  • Also, we don't have a lot of <$30 dedis here in N.America. If/when Hetzner offers SB in Ashburn, that could change the game.

    I haven't managed to get one yet, but imho it is attractive for north america. The 100mbps is annoying but not that big a deal. Should I figure these are all out of stock? I tried to login and order when I saw the post a few days ago, but there was something wrong with my kimsufi.com account and I haven't gotten around to trying to fix it. If I can get one I'll be glad, but if I miss out I'll be ok.

    Restock will likely happen on Friday or Monday.
    Get your account ready until then.

    You also have the option for one USD Account and one EUR Account.
    Just at least have one available by then.

    Yes, but I would not rely on them.
