Arubacloud Refugee Thread

edited May 2020 in Requests

As we all know, Arubacloud increases the VPS prices of their existing "Cloud VPS - Smart" plans, from €1/month to €2.79/month, starting 1st of August. This is a whopping 179% increase.

Personally, I can no longer idle there (it's the principle of the thing), hence why I would love to see some new places for idling. Therefore, LET the offers flow!

Disclaimer: I am aware this is not Black Friday... however this is going to be a beautiful summer. Wait, this did not sound right. Anyway, you know what refugees from Aruba want.

    Aren't those 1EUR/USD/GBP plans basically loss leaders used for marketing purposes?

    I can see how it's profitable on a heavily oversold node without an IPv4.

    At the time of the offer, it probably served two purposes: marketing and not less important: justifying IP space usage, so they could grab more before exhaustion, which are very valuable.

    So more than a loss leaders, it was an investment, and considering IP pricing nowadays, a very profitable one.

    Many VPS providers did that some years ago: $1/month offers to justify usage of vast amounts of IP space. Some of them didn't even hide it and offered multiple IPv4 addresses as standard with ridiculously cheap services. Of course they all kicked customers who purchased those plans soon after that.

    Currently my server utilisation is at 5%... idling some dedicated servers... but if $1/m happen at NexusBytes (say 256MB RAM) I will still be so tempted to get one...
