Now that Aruba closed their €1 offer, is there any company offering something similar to that?

No idea.
NO it has been asked before.
no
Well, I'd say it was clear from the very first day that this was only a limited promotional offer; although many here might be surprised for how long it was available. But without a doubt 1 EUR/month is not a sustainable price.
However you may find some 12 EUR/year offers.
Who knows
You can use Hetzner 1€ or OVH/Online.net 1€
I just had a look, they all seem to be above €2
Virmach offers $1.5 per month, even $1 for Buffalo - Virmach Special Offers (aff)
DynBox from 1,50€/mo
If you buy QuickClickHosting's $5/yr 512MB promo VPS, it's about 41 cents a month. A bit above your budget initially, but if done yearly it's a pretty good deal IMO
I'm sure it will come back again this year for a short time ;P
their technical support is barely useful and they do get unexplained downtime occasionally.
Have this happened already, that they would increase the price and then later go back to €1?
NEVER. just giving you hope
Hope is what kills you.
nill, null, nada, void. IP it-self is probably 3 times more expensive than that VPS. I have 3 of them and I will pass them as a legacy to my kids.
Spoken like a true LETizen.
You're the one who posted that Reddit thread, I assume? Look up loss leaders.
Hetzner CX11 is the cheapest option in assured quality options. But if you are fine with ColoCrossing stuff, the sky is the limit...
Weel, in the last promo from Webtropia I got a 2GB RAM/70GB SSD/300Mbps = 1EUR.
KTS24 currently offers a €12/year VPS (affiliate link here). I got a similar one and so far seems stable.
He does not want per year, he wants per month, or even per hour.
Thank you for recommending our services. I´m not sure which €1 deal you are referring to. To the best of my knowledge we do not have €1 deal. --Katie, Marketing
Last time i checked, 1€ was still 1€ on Hetzner. I believe all the European Union uses 1€ as the currency unit and it's worth 1€ everywhere. I think you can get one or many 1€ from Aruba and transfer it to Hetzner just fine
Or is it? On paper (ok, on metal.. because 1 euro) it might be that 1 euro is the same across all euro countries, but the purchasing power differs from country to country, so you might be able to buy more for 1 euro in one place than in another place.. So is it actually worth the same everywhere?
But that wasn't the question, was it?
anybody got any downers?
This thread is... full of lulz.
