Welcome back to our Post-Black-Friday-Cyber-Monday “Action Required” Series, where we ask you, our loyal readers, for your input. We’ll be doing a series of polls for the next week or so and then we’ll publish a summary of responses. Please watch for the ACTION REQUIRED title in our posts and vote!
And now, our third question…
How much of what you bought in 2020 remains in your inventory? Did you keep systems you bought last year or replace them with better deals this year? Or perhaps you still haven’t noticed that PayPal subscription eating away at your bank account every month.
Let us know in the poll below how many of your cheap VPS, cheap dedi, or other systems you’ve kept around since 2020!

Raindog308 is a longtime LowEndTalk community administrator, technical writer, and self-described techno polymath. With deep roots in the *nix world, he has a passion for systems both modern and vintage, ranging from Unix, Perl, Python, and Golang to shell scripting and mainframe-era operating systems like MVS. He’s equally comfortable with relational database systems, having spent years working with Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.
As an avid user of LowEndBox providers, Raindog runs an empire of LEBs, from tiny boxes for VPNs, to mid-sized instances for application hosting, and heavyweight servers for data storage and complex databases. He brings both technical rigor and real-world experience to every piece he writes.
Beyond the command line, Raindog is a lover of German Shepherds, high-quality knives, target shooting, theology, tabletop RPGs, and hiking in deep, quiet forests.
His goal with every article is to help users, from beginners to seasoned sysadmins, get more value, performance, and enjoyment out of their infrastructure.
You can find him daily in the forums at LowEndTalk under the handle @raindog308.
Can you guys please change the series name ?
The title is kinda annoying whenever the newsletter arrives in the e-mail inbox.
Max, Good point, we will consider that. Thank you!
I’ll second max’s request. Anything else other than “ACTION REQUIRED” would be preferable. This subject line echoes some of our critical notifications at work.
“Low End Box Poll,” “LEB Black Friday Poll,” anything at all.
I had a BlackFriday deal from RackNerd as a backup VPS since 2019, which I renewed last year. Because of that history, this year I bought in on two of their black friday deals (VPS and Shared) to move my services away from my current providers. So I didn’t renew a service, but a previous BlackFriday with RackNerd convinced me to double up this year and stop using them as a backup.
Thanks for sharing your positive experience, RobAllan!
