awesome deals :)
Dust and his crew run a good show. Recommended.
Hi Santi! Appreciate you being an awesome customer :)
It’s always a great thing to hear our customer’s feedback, I’ll be sure to extend this positive feedback to the team.
nice 11.11 offers
Hi James — glad you find value in our offers; we too are excited to have released these new promotions.
We’ve previously sold out every location and multiple product lines, so having replenished inventory to help those eager to expand and or onboard new customers is amazing. The level of service we provide, along with performance can’t be beaten.
Hands down, no doubt the best provider on LEB. The whole crew at RackNerd are great!
Hi Susan, very familiar with your account — happy to have you with us, your positive feedback is refreshing.
It should also be said, that we sincerely appreciate your business and how active you’ve been within the community. If you ever need anything, we’ll be here to help.
good value but nothing special compared to their other offers
Hi Raj — I totally agree, there’s tons of value packed into these latest deals, the flexibility of choosing which location to deploy it, to the healthy resources at unbeatable prices all the way to the level of service and support we provide.
As for the comparison between past offers, we believe these deals are great. We aren’t always interested in going lower and lower with our promotions (when it comes to resources/pricing) as our promotions are intended to be limited time, limited availability, and deals will always vary. It should also be said that today’s market is totally different from what it was a year ago when it comes to hardware pricing and availability.
You can count on RackNerd to deliver awesome pricing, awesome performance, and healthy resources :) If you by chance need something different than what is being promoted, please get in touch via e-mail dustin@racknerd.com and I’ll do my best.
Rack’s pretty good for me. I’m low activity tho in general since I mostly just use it for storage with no domain. However I am realizing their LA boxes (or rather my LA box) are slow to retrieve things from the internet.
I’m migrating to a different location and did apt-get and that was done in a flash. I generally use my server to download videos from YouTube to archive them. I haven’t tested that yet but I won’t be surprised cuz I tested a fee weeks ago from a diff machine and got the speeds I expected .
Other than that if your low drag like me it’s good stuff.
Nice offers! Thank Rachnerd.
Hi Tu Nguyen — appreciate the support! We have to agree, these offers pack tons of value and we can see that the community agrees with your comment too :)
As always, Thank You for staying active within the community and supporting RackNerd.
I think last year’s deal was a bit better, kinda disappointed that there are no European locations this time even though they have some now.
Hi TODO — We’ve had tons of success in selling out our promotions, including selling out all of our locations for both our Intel and AMD Ryzen product line.
Most recently (and with this promotion) we were able to successfully replenish inventory on our Intel KVM pure SSD product line by deploying ~40 physical servers across our various locations. We have more on the way, but as you can imagine trying to procure 320+ 2TB SSDs has been work / troubling with today’s supply and hardware pricing. The good news is that we’ve done it. Our deals will always fluctuate, and we will continue with our commitment to provide awesome service, healthy pricing with competitive pricing.
Yeah, I am a happy costumer of yours, servers are plenty fast.
I just wish these deals are available on european servers, hopefully we will see something this black friday!
Hi LEB Team — we sincerely appreciate the feature! We know that the community is going to enjoy our offers.
Thank You for the opporunity!
Rack Nerd is awesome, as always. :)
Hi @Socheat — so true!
We sincerely appreciate your support.
Cool Deals.. and without any doubt, RackNerd is the best provider out there. They have built a very strong reputation with their Rock solid infrastructure and awesome support.
Thank You for noticing that @Siddeswara! We appreciate your business and positive feedback.
@Dustin: Looking at the TOS, most of it is pretty standard, but the part where Runescape is forbidden stands out.
Do you have any info about what is so problematic with Runescape?
Hi @Marc — Great question and observation! That particular mention in our TOS is a bit dated. In the past (years ago) we’ve noticed a trend of abuse from those running this particular application (Runescape) which caused performance degradation on a previous product line offering of ours, however today we do not offer that product line anymore – which is the reason why I say this particular mention in our TOS is a bit dated (and may no longer be applicable/relevant).
As we now offer KVM VPS, which provides awesome performance and great isolation capabilities between VM’s, we’ll be happy to re-explore this if this is an application you’re looking to run. I’ll have our team also review this internally, and update our TOS if/as necessary.
How differently are these VPSes compared to the normal one, in term of performance. For example, 2GB would normally cost $20/month, but here 2GB is $18/year.
I have 11 VPS’s with RackNerd, and to be honest, I have noticed no performance difference from the “regular priced” $5/mo/GB VPS’s I have with some other companies. I did have one machine with Racknerd that seemed to be on a crowded node and was giving poor disk access, so I asked for it to be moved and they did, and now it is very fast. All my others I have had no issues, and I have been a Racknerd customer for over a year now.
I use some of the machines for testing, and others for reasonably low volume production, with no issues.
Thank you so much for the input. I am in the process of moving all my sites to new host provider, but want to try them out first with a small site, it only has 4k daily users and 11k daily pageviews.
Based on my research, I narrowed it down to two providers, RackNerd and NexusBytes. Do you happen to have experience with NexusBytes? If so, how does it compare to RackNerd
From what I have seen and read, nexusbytes is a smaller host run by one man and the owner doesn’t seem to be interested in the business anymore. Reviews show that the business is being neglected, and customers are not getting a hold of support. https://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1859483 I considered them a few months ago but I’m glad I didn’t.
Out of those two I would definately say Racknerd would be the best choice, I have one VPS with them for 7 months now and going good.
I’ve read here on LET that Jay is going through some tough times, including health. What we can say and know is that Jay/Nexusbytes puts his customers first, and takes great pride in his business. We’re hoping for a speedy recovery to both his operation and healthy.
Been a customer of both. Currently with RackNerd and have had a trouble-free experience with RackNerd. I prefer RackNerd.
At NexusBytes certain tasks required support tickets and I found an issue with the setup(an AMD CPU bug detailed here: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/10/how-a-months-old-amd-microcode-bug-destroyed-my-weekend/) which they fixed in a few days.
If the price is nearly the same, RackNerd is my choice.
Here is a good article on KVM (vs non-KVM) VPS https://lowendbox.com/blog/what-is-a-kvm-vps-the-technology-explained/. Basically, the emulation happens at a different layer. This means you control the kernel you run with KVM. This usually comes up when Docker and other container tech is involved or if you want to stay on top of security updates with the latest kernels.
Is rDNS enabled on these ? Last time i bought vps from you in the promo it said you allow rdns but when i got the vps i couldnt enable it.
I can confirm rDNS is working for the 11.11 promo from last year. You do have to use the “Control Panel” (https://nerdvm.racknerd.com) which is different than “Manage Product” (https://my.racknerd.com).
It is under “Network” tab at the bottom.
I think it depends on the location whether rDNS works from the control panel or not. If it doesn’t work you may be able to open a ticket and have them do it manually.
For me, rDNS didn’t work in the control panel, so I raised a support ticket. They did the rDNS manually and closed the ticket within 3 minutes of opening it, so I was very impressed with that service.
This is also my case. I must open a ticket and they will set rDNS manuallly. It only takes about one day.
Hi Justin! Great question.
rDNS is enabled – though at times customers find that it’s not an option within the control panel, and the reason behind this is due to the large amount of IPv4 under our umbrella which are not from a /24 CIDR block — so rDNS is not delegated to these smaller ranges. In these rare cases, all that is needed is a support ticket with the desired rDNS and our team will handle this right away.
Order number 6435238309, double the application flow
Hello – can you please request this within the LET thread? We’d be happy to extend this offer to you. We’d love to welcome you to the official LET community.
What happened to all the odd RAM amounts? (2.8GB, 3.5GB, etc.) :-D
Great catch @Ruel — we’re always altering our promotions, though if needed, we can provide additional resources on demand for aggressive rates. We’re here to support business growth and maintain happy customers.
hi thanks for great offer, but can u add amsterdam location please, Thanks.
No more live support?
Hello @mostyn — we do have our sales team join live chat when possible, though within the last few months (or I should say within the last year) we’ve grown tremendously fast, where many of us have had to put all hands on deck to support the growth in every department.
We’ve been able to maintain a solid reputation this way, and at the same time grow along the way. If you ever need anything, our support team is available 24×7 via ticket. You can count on us for rapid response times and resolutions.
Hello, is there no promo for the server in SG, I am very interested in this interesting promo but unfortunately the server is far from our location so the ping is big
Hi @Althaf — at this time in Singapore we offer shared/reseller hosting – our KVM VPS product line is not yet available in this region. Keep in mind that our shared/reseller hosting is whitelabel (meaning it can be branded as your own) so if this is of interest, be sure to chat. You can e-mail me at dustin@racknerd.com
Any chance AMD ryzen vps will be on sale? Maybe Black Friday? I have plenty intel based vps, looking to try some ryzen ones.
Hi Jay!
We’ve replenished and sold out Ryzen just as fast, it’s been tough obtaining the hardware in today’s market (everyone is experiencing this) pricing has shot through the roof, though we’ve managed to obtain hardware and provide the same rates as many are accustomed to.
Right now we are tight on hardware, but it is a goal of ours to replenish as fast as possible. Feel free to reach out to me dustin@racknerd.com with the plan you’re interested in and I’ll be sure to let you know once we have stock :)
Are these deals for existing customers?
Racknerd is the best, and customer service is second to none,
Love you guys.
Hi @Mel — great question!
These promotions are available to both new and existing RackNerd customers.
Where are the 6GB RAM VPS as you has last yr? Was hoping for that or have option to add additional RAM to base nodes like last yr.
Hi Nathen — our promotions will always vary, though we have no problem offering plans with such resources. If you have a plan in mind that we previously provided, please send me an e-mail dustin@racknerd.com and I’ll see what can be done (for example honoring it for you, and or providing you with the next best alternative).
@Dustin, I am a customer since over a year and your service is awesome, can I make a deal with you for a more powerful version of offers mentioned here? Like a twice more powerful vps for twice the price?
Hi @Nil — Thank You for being a valued customer of RackNerd! We sincerely appreciate your positive feedback.
In regards to stacking resources, while we do not allow this – we are open to offering custom configurations, just send me an e-mail dustin@racknerd.com and I can personally help.
Are you planning black Friday deals here?
Yes, RackNerd will be featured on our Black Friday sales event.
Mel, Yes, RackNerd has many upcoming Black Friday offers on LowEndBox.
I am SO bummed that I did not see this offer. I need/want one for the Seattle DC.
