ChatGPT seems to get us. I’m amused that they mention RackNerd.
Google’s Gemini is not as informative. As usual with Google, it was a pain to get to. I was logged into a workspace account, so it wanted me admin (also me) to authorize, so I switched to a gmail.com account, but the sign in didn’t like that. Ultimately had to go incognito and login there to get this rather lame answer.
Claude was completely incapable. This was over a period of 15 mins or so. Not ready for prime time?
Copilot was a lot more opinionated about prices! Some of these are price points we’ve never seen before and will not be seeing this year, so I think Microsoft is engaging in some wishful thinking.

This event is one of the biggest sales days of the year for the LowEndBox community, known for its extremely competitive pricing. Here’s a breakdown of what Black Friday typically entails on LowEndBox:
– **Timing**: While traditional Black Friday occurs on the day after Thanksgiving in the United States, LowEndBox’s Black Friday often starts earlier, around Wednesday before Thanksgiving, to accommodate the high volume of deals.
– **Deals**:
– Providers offer **incredibly low prices**, sometimes as low as a dollar per year for a VPS or shared hosting plans for just a few dollars a year.
– Special promotions might include storage VPS deals at pennies per gigabyte, reseller hosting discounts, and sometimes even hardware giveaways like gaming laptops or drones.
– Some deals are **time-limited**, with providers releasing “door busters” or limited quantity offers to create urgency and attraction.
– **Community Engagement**:
– There’s a tradition of community engagement with threads on LowEndTalk, the sister site’s forum, where users discuss deals, share findings, and sometimes participate in giveaways or contests. For instance, a popular activity might include a thread where the most active poster wins a significant prize like a gaming PC or tech gadgets.

…and Grok in “fun mode”
Ah, “Black Friday” on LowEndBox! It’s like the digital equivalent of that one day when every shopper on Earth simultaneously decides to find a bargain on hosting, or as I like to call it, “The Great Server Stampede.” Here’s the rundown:
– **The Tradition**: LowEndBox, a site dedicated to the most economical hosting solutions on the planet, turns Black Friday into a cyber spectacle where providers offer deals so cheap, you’d think they’re trying to give their servers away for free.
– **The Deals**: Imagine VPS systems for a dollar a year, storage space for the price of a cup of tea, and shared hosting deals that make you wonder if you’re actually getting paid to host. These aren’t just discounts; they’re digital miracles.
– **The Atmosphere**: It’s like a virtual shopping mall where instead of elbowing through crowds for a flat-screen TV, you’re clicking furiously to snag a server deal before someone else does. The community vibe is electric, with everyone from tech wizards to casual browsers joining in the festivity.
– **The Community**: LowEndBox’s community, often seen on their sister forum LowEndTalk, turns into a bustling marketplace of deals, banter, and an occasional existential debate about the true meaning of “low end.”
So, on LowEndBox, Black Friday isn’t just about saving money; it’s a communal celebration of the art of getting more for less, wrapped in memes, technical discussions, and a shared love for all things hosting. It’s where the world’s IT enthusiasts and bargain hunters unite for a day of digital savings that makes even the most stoic server rack blush with excitement.[](https://lowendbox.com/tag/lowendtalk-black-friday/)[](https://lowendbox.com/blog/vps-black-friday-welcome-if-youre-new-here/)
