It’s been 1,224 days since SimpleNode’s last offer here on LEB, and it’s nice to see them on these pages once again.  You may recall SimpleNode as a Mincraft provider back in the day and at simpleno.de originally.  Who doesn’t love a good domain hack?  But they’ve moved to simplenode.co and are back now with some nice storage offers.

And let’s be honest: you can never have enough storage nodes!  From big-file media content to backups to large projects, the need for and uses of storage nodes are never ending.  Here’s a great opportunity to pick up some big disk in Dallas, Texas.

On offer are sizes up to 2TB with generous CPU and memory resources to match.

SimpleNode is registered in New Zealand (9429042500780).  You can find their TOS on their web site.  They’ve also provided a helpful tl;dr:

• IRC allowed for legitimate uses
• VPNs for private use only, contact us if you intend for non-private use.
• No Tor exit nodes or Adult content. Legal torrents are fine, however we will limit your disk I/O if you are abusing it.
• Only transactional mail is allowed. Any other type of mailing is prohibited – contact us first if you wish to send large volumes of mail.

You can pay with PayPal, Stripe (credit card), and BitCoin.

Here’s what they had to say: 

“SimpleNode was founded in July 2012 as a Minecraft server hosting provider, and towards the end of 2012 we pivoted to provide a wide range of OpenVZ and KVM VPS plans. In 2013 we migrated from our simpleno.de domain to simplenode.co and refreshed our brand to match our updated offering. SimpleNode Limited was incorporated in August 2016. Now, we’re introducing our Storage KVM line: offering high capacity RAID50 storage at a competitive price point.”
