Does it allow torrenting? Particularly UK server.
In UK every public place is recorded on streets, every location is monitored, every package in and out is logged. Good luck with toreenting, but be careful what you download.
That's not just the UK, it happens everywhere, its called mass surveillance.
Most subway cables are taped, big IX's..... not just the UK.
No luck, I got VPS from IT1 now
Oh well... fun is over. But think positive: we'll soon have Black Friday as a perfect moment for more idle servers.
Hmm seems like I got lucky then. Got UK @ 8.32 AM CEST. Thanks @default
it's fine. just destroy it and create new one. There's higher probability to get UK in second try.
I received a voucher from Aruba. I think, I will give it a spin too.
If I chose monthly billing, will they still count it is as one VPS or new one?
You'll be charged 1 euro every time you successfully start up a new VM. You can keep trying to get a VM deployed to a different DC than you already have by reusing the exact same name as the first one you deployed. If it tries to put you in the same DC as the first one you'll get an error, otherwise it'll deploy to a different DC (basically just a way to guarantee you'll get a VM in a different DC).
Just got another 1 euro VPS in France.
@Kousaka It's just like the lottery. Would you be able to post a benchmark. Something like bench.sh?
Sure.

It doesn't look too bad. I might add one to my VPS collection.
Got IT1 yesterday. Seems there's a bit of randomness to this at least.
Actually, no. Lately they change location every day.
UK1 two days ago, today FR1
I’m not seeing the €1 offer anymore.
Yep, they've eventually killed it on the international version of their website as well.
so 1 euro is no more?
Seems like it, just tested it myself, and no option for 1 euro anymore
Their strategy isn't so transparent. I suspect that they feel that they've sold enough 1€ plans for the moment, and that these plans will be back once they feel the need to reintroduce them. But hard to know ...
hope those turds at arubacloud finally enable ipv6 reverse dns record. noone going buy $2.79 when hetzner is around.
Where is @deank when we need him. He can draw a wise conclusion from all this.
The end is past nigh.
So this was it. There you have it. There may still be a shred of hope during Black Friday.
