Help me decide OVH 2016 VPS -- shall I wait till black friday?
I need a VPS and I want to buy either from OVH or Vultr. I have had good experience from both of them in the past. (Also, from Ramnode. But I don't think they will match the prices or offers on Blackfriday)
Now OVH is running an offer and they are giving a rebate on annual prices. However, that offer ends just before Black Friday. So my question is, shall I wait until black friday if there are good deals to expect? or shall I just buy?
And I dont know any black friday offers from Vultr either. Thank you!

where is that rebate?
$1.12/month. The basic one comes to $3.35/m instead of $4.47
You can see here - https://www.ovh.com/us/vps/
maybe new sign ups, not renewal of current services. My advise wait until BF if you are not in a hurry.
OVH had some discounted VPS on last year's BF.
Of course no one except them can give you a guarantee, but I would also wait...
I would say it's not a coincidence that their promotion runs out the day before BF...
Waiting is ... happiness ;-)

there is a libyan saying... "better those who wait then those who only wish." right
Thanks, guys, I guess I will wait. Not in any hurry.
The rebate plan makes it about the normal price before the recent increase. I got last year's BF special and it's a good VPS though the 10GB disk space is a bit constraining. I don't have DDOS issues so I'm fine with comparably priced VPS with less DOS protection.
Vultr usually has no promotions on Black Friday.
Not sure about Vultr & OVH, but you will find more better offers on Black Friday than this. Big companies usually do not offer much discount on VPS in Black Friday.
get one now, and then if they have BF deal get another haha
Last year's OVH BF was good, but they haven't done anything nearly as good since then and I don't expect them to now.
I’m not sure- the outage last week might have been just in time to hurt sales since then so that they want to up on marketing / buy addtl. clients to match their numbers.
But then again, they are mostly owned by some (??) so that won’t matter so much ...
I'd like to Wait till Black Friday for OVH
