Nice

Mr_Tom

Now this is more like what I was after... (not that it stopped me getting some other offers )

@AnthonySmith: You're really on a roll again this BF/CM.

Yep its been quite a BF/CM and to think I was not going to bother with it much this year haha!

Mr_Tom

Drinks are on @AnthonySmith

dahartigan

Nice offers! Too bad UK is the least ideal location for me. That's a pretty insane price!

Mr_Tom

Why does the 2gb option only have 2TB bandwidth?

AnthonySmith

Damn it...

Hopefully with the updated image (corrected) it makes sense.

zhujiwiki

Very nice offer.

Asim

Amazing offer especially on the storage and NVME yearly offers.

Thank you Anthony, I grabbed a storage UK deal

dfroe

Absolutely. But I already decided to renew my last year's BF deal. The UK KVM SSD Cached offer seems to be exactly the same this year. It's working great so far, I am very satisfied.

Profizocker

Finally i got one thanks for deal

Kwoon

Shared hosting is SSD Cached?
You said you'll move all plans to nvme? Or only new plans?
Thx

tarasis

When will the offers end? 23:59 UTC?

(Like an idiot I spent the night awake trying to decide what one to order, and now really need to sleep.)

Probably best not to wait until 23:59 UTC today if at all possible.

Edit: I guess you have more time. See Anthony's comment below.

I can testify the nvme on the KVM are useful if you need to host any web app+db.
(2xE3 cores.)

If you're confused, the SSD-cached KVM have 4xE5 shared cores (and not slow E5s either)

All plans, currently ssd cached.

tarasis said: When will the offers end? 23:59 UTC?

I am not hard limiting it, what is available will probably be available until the end of the month at least or until it goes out of stock.

UK yes you get a /64

Not in US.

BTW this is a benchmark of my SSD cached KVM I snatched during BF'18.
Pretty solid performance.

Between the 2 UK €10/yr plans which one would be a better fit for a personal VPN? UK 2GB OVZ or UK KVM NVMe?

Are both on Clouvider network?

Any plan of which the bandwidth suffices will do for OpenVPN

Cheers, keep in mind sequential IO is not cached though

The 10eur KVM can be used for Openvpn AND wireguard (especially gigabit cross-datacenter links)

Excellent and it was a good point. I am feeling rather messed up from only 2 and a bit hours sleep and need to go with kids out now.

And Indeed I was away for quite a while, thanks for noticing

Can confirm OpenVZ plans are also with @Clouvider. Pretty impressed by the quality of the peering thus far.

AnthonySmith

Just a handful of the SSD cached KVM left before regular pricing is restored.

NVMe SSD KVM will remain on this pricing until the end of the month or until stock is gone.

the retrieved clouvider ip 185.42.223.1 for the NVMe units did not warrant the latency I hoped to see
could you please provide a looking glass for the SSD cached ones?

Was so impressed with the performance of the small OpenVZ boxes I had picked up I had to pick up this storage deal too in favor of the Contabo VPS. Thanks @AnthonySmith!

yeah that is what I meant and tested - i see you are implying it is all the same clouvider DC

It is the same dc.

Feel free to PM the traceroute or preferably an MTR along with your public IP - if this can have physically improved - we will.

AnthonySmith

Just balancing up some over provisioning issues today for the UK OpenVZ, the speed of the orders created a bit of an imbalance impacting performance and I am allocating additional hardware to resolving the issue, the good news being that I will be able to open up UK VZ orders again for a bit for those that missed out.

beagle

Please just say when! ;-)

AnthonySmith

by 18:00 today at the latest but aiming for 14:00 (UK Time)

solaire

Heh, just moved my stuff over. Was afraid it got suspended for abuse due to the large database import (~ 1 GB), but thankfully it's just being migrated.

Yep, announcement on the client area, just a big error in provisioning, in short 1 node was massively oversold 1 was massively undersold I only picked up on it this morning, performance should improve now.

Guess I missed the announcement. No worries, though, happy that both my OpenVZ boxes are now on different nodes.

Next LET drama caused by misquoting the above... "Inception is oversold!"

@AnthonySmith said:

Did the 2 GB and 4 GB go really quickly (within an hour), or did you only add stock for 512 MB?

Either way, any chance we'll see any more of those in the not-too-distant future?

You are just looking at the wrong product group I think: https://clients.inceptionhosting.com/cart.php?gid=22

He may be looking at the promo page.

Thanks everyone it was a good year, I hope people got the sales they were looking for!

@AnthonySmith: Those were a bunch of great offers, thank you for that!

tarasis

Finally grabbed a server.

So much ummming between the options and in the end I picked the wrong one facepalm

Thought I clicked the 25GB NVMe SSD but had actually clicked the KVM SSD Cached.

Lesson: Don't be an idiot and click purchase at 5:30am.
