Some previous posts about 2020 Black Friday/Cyber Monday in case you missed them:
In this post, I’d like to hand out some special awards for providers whose offers were interesting, unique, different, or otherwise stood out from the pack this year. It’s not always about providing the lowest price-per-GB (though sometimes it is!). Providers can differentiate themselves in others ways, so let’s take a look at some of the interesting offers.
Best Green Hosting Offers
- Hosterlabs runs of 100% renewable power and offered a 1GB VPS for 99 cents/month
- SoftShellWeb offered to plant a tree for every month of service you have with them. And they had cool Black Friday office pics in their post as well!
Best High Bandwidth Offers
- Hard to top ServerMania‘s mammoth 100TB offer!
- ServerHub dropped a 50TB bandwidth offer
- QuadraNet offered dedis with 30TB of bandwidth
Best Massive Storage Offer
- ServaRICA‘s 8TB of SSD for $20/mo was pretty amazing
Best Exotic Locale
OK, these aren’t exotic like “Antarctica” or “Pyongyang” but places we don’t see often:
- ParkInHost debuted some offers in Russia
- SoftShellWeb brought us an offer in Taiwan
- Internoc24 had our first offer ever in Kazakhstan
Best Debut With a Custom Panel
- Misaka showed us their cool mc2 panel
Best Windows Service
I’m a Linux/OpenBSD guy myself but some people like Windows. If you’re one of those, then…
- CheapWindowsVPS had a great Windows offer
- And so did RackNerd
Absolute Low Price Awards
- For shared in US/EU, cheapest I saw was Limitless offering DirectAdmin for $3/year
- For shared in Asia/Pacific, the nod goes to TeraDelta‘s $7.25/year offer in Singapore
- For VPS, the obvious choice is Hyper Expert‘s 1GB VPs for $1/year!
Once again, many thanks to our providers for bringing us such wonderful diversity in the marketplace.
