Community provider VisualWebTechnologies contacted us because they’ve got a special VPS offer to celebrate Diwali!

Get a VPS in Germany with 2GB RAM, 50GB SSD, and 2TB bandwidth (including ipv4 and ipv6) for only $9/month!

These are on Intel i9-12900K CPUs.  Yes, that’s a desktop chip.  Some people will like that and some will not, but I’d point out that we see a lot of offers for VMs and Dedis with 10-year-old E5s, whereas here you’re getting a chip made less than a year ago.

VisualWebTechnologies was founded in 2014 and are registered in India.  As always, check the TOS before signing up.  They accept PayPal, and credit/debit.

Now read more to get in on this special Diwali offer!
