Man it has already been days but I am still feeling very tired... it takes so long to recover from not sleeping straight for 3 days

If you're saying you're not able to sleep, the RN thread is in need of more shitposting...

My sleep scheduled is messed up - I can't feel refreshed even after 8 hours of sleep.

I've been having nightmares these past few days.

Does the deal get away every time?

(but seriously, hope y'all feel better and get back to normal soon)

Well this is it, another year of Black Friday / Cyber Monday megathread flash sale event has officially come to a close. This wouldn't have been possible without all the amazing providers who trusted me and I want to take this chance to show my appreciation to each of you.

Before I go further, I want to give a huge thanks to the admins and mods @jbiloh @DP @angstrom @Jord for all the help in ensuring this thread followed our guidelines. I know there have been some disagreements on what content should be allowed here, but some things are necessary to ensure that our platform remains considerate and welcoming to everyone.

This year has been particularly tough for many providers, there has been a lot of uncertainty in the macroeconomy, and the AI boom has driven up hardware prices such as RAM, which has doubled its price in less than a year.

Despite these challenges, we have still seen providers who truly understood the assignment and delivered some of the best deals we have ever seen. This is a true testament to their generosity and love to this community.

As time has passed, there are only a few providers who have continuously supporting me since 2020, my very first BF Flash Sale event. I want to give a shout-out to @Cam @freerangecloud @gigahost @Lampard @naranjatech @SpartanHost @visualwebtechnologies for always being present at these events. Thanks for trusting me over the past 6 years.

Without further ado, here's a recap of some of the most memorable deals this year:

• @Zappie - the MVP for this event. No one has ever offered IPv4 deals as low as this before (To put things into perspective, that's $200 opportunity costs lost every single month) with the intention to help people that does BGP/Networking as a hobby. They also offered 20 VPS in exotic locations such as South Africa, Chile and New Zealand for a mere $5.4/yr. Truly a legendary provider!
• @djunior - despite being new to the megathread, they delivered high-performance VPS at an insane price, bringing the price nearly down to $1/GB RAM/yr. Their 16 vCPU Xeon Gold setup was the most impressive of all, with benchmarks that made everyone want one.
• @DartNode @keoir - their unbeatable dedicated server deals are always a highlight. They offered some of the latest hardware (Ryzen 9950X) with 192GB RAM for less than $100/m. Despite the rise in hardware costs in 2025, they restocked the legendary $99/yr dedicated servers and not just 1 or 10 but more than 30 of them!
• @VeloxMedia - thanks @itsTomHarper for hosting creative giveaways with puzzles and unique mechanisms, as well as offering very low-priced flash sales. Despite the incidents that happened, I want to thank you guys for keeping pricing low almost all year round to make idling VPS affordable for everyone.
• @bingobangobongo - their frequent participation in the thread along with several surprises has allowed the real active members to acquire their great service at a fraction of the price, namely free double resources that's not listed anywhere.
• @labze - known for cost-effective, high performance VPS and VDS at a low prices, they delivered some of the the highest performance VDS offers with generous quantity.
• @gigahost - the most anticipated provider for their crazy flash sale on dedicated servers. Despite their busy schedule, they blew us away with Ryzen dedicated servers for under $15/m. They literally only have 2 comments in this entire megathread.
• @alexhost - M1 Mac dedicated servers at an insanely low price of $13/m is also unheard of. A cheap exotic dedi in an exotic location Moldava is a great match by itself.
• @DeluxHost - while not as active in the thread, they created several plans below or equal to $7/yr, including one of the most jaw-dropping deals of the entire event - a 1GB VPS for just $1/yr. You can't even buy a meal for $1.
• @AlexBarakov - one of the more reliable hosts on LET, yet still managed to prepare some special deals for us and delivers VPS in relatively rare locations for less than $10/yr.
• @avsisp - their insane VPS with a massive 1TB NVMe shocked many people, along with low-priced VPS in Albania for under $10/yr, an exotic location with very few presence here in the market
• @MAXKO_Hosting - one of the most TOR exit friendly provider, offering unmetered VPS in exotic locations such as Hungary, Croatia and South Africa starting at a very low price of 14.8€/yr
• @NDTN - their 69% off premium VPS deals made expensive locations such as Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Vietnam incredibly affordable, starting at just $7.75/yr.
• @rarecloud - delivered several cheap 7€/yr VPS deals along with free first-year VPS in locations such as Japan and Romania, priotising member happiness over profit.
• @DediRock - when the world thinks $7/yr is too low, DediRock Hooks It Up with several VPS under $7/yr with a very generous quantity of them, even released a storage VPS that's on the sweet pricing of $1/TB/m.
• @naranjatech - periodically offered servers on their reliable hardware starting from just 12€/yr, making sure everyone stand a chance to get deals that they would like to.

[SPECIAL FOR GREAT PROVIDERs]

After internal discussions, we agreed that 5 of the providers above are outstanding and they deserve more recognition. We will be extending their provider tag for 6 months completely free of charge and those providers are: @Zappie @djunior @DartNode @VeloxMedia and @bingobangobongo - congrats!

I would also like to thank the members who made this megathread more wonderful:

• @emgh - thanks for hosting so many fun events like the drawing competition, and for collaborating with @JamDon2 to build an exclusive and well-constructed platform to make it all happen, I will admit I had fun drawing some interesting art too.
• @beanman109 - thanks for always being my backup, helping to hype up the crowd and being a great negotiator with providers.
• @JabJab @Saragoldfarb - thanks for the continuous support and for always around in this thread regardless of day or night, along with various costumes for the pink and green dino that makes me want to customise my dino as well.
• @AlteredParadox @allthemtings @barbaros @plumberg - thanks for your continuous presence and support, you guys always bring the energy and make megathreads more complete
• @admax @Blembim @mandala @Murv @nghialele - thanks for all the GIFs and memes, you guys made the thread more lively, all those kawaii characters from Touhou to Yuri makes me want to get one Fumo myself as well.

I am sure I most likely missed someone, but from the top of my head I can think of @barbaros @barbarza @Decicus @default @doobydoe @HuiW @lukast__ @Neoon @nullnothere @oloke @ralf @Ramsterdam @Smigit @Zyra and so many more.

Of course, a massive thank you to all the providers who supported this event. Thank you for believing in me once again and taking the time to prepare special deals for us. This event would not have been the same without you all: (tag removed)

With that, the event is officially over, and I apologise for posting it rather late. I can't emphasize enough how much I appreciate all the providers and LET members who gave their support to make this event a success, it has been an incredibly fun and memorable Black Friday + Cyber Monday week.

Looking back on these past 6 years, it hasn't always been easy, but every time when I secretly revisit the comments from the past BF/CM megathread, it always brings a smile to my face. I am such fortunate to have all of you come together. Thank you once again, and looking forward to see you all again!

Yeah, it was great, a lot of offers for new idlers, thank you again. I also want to thank @naranjatech and couple other providers who were often posting seemingly never ending deals so that anyone had a chance to get one.
