[Transfer] Servarica Polar Bear - 2TB storage - GONE

edited January 2022 in General

UPDATE this is gone.


original post:

Some time since BF and holiday season passed, so it's time for some early spring-clean ... I overbought on storage (who's laughing there?) and therefore am in the middle of some restructuring and consolidation to bigger boxes. I'll offer a few services for transfer around here in the next days, might be worth to check it all out ;-)

We start off with a nice 2TB storage of servarica which I renewed in november last year already but now want to let go of. It's the famous polar bear offer and has been very decent, however I do not have a need for storage across the ocean anymore, so here is a chance to get it even cheaper than the regular costs...

Taken from the offer page:

Polar Bear Storage Offer
2 CPU cores
2 GB RAM
2TB disk
Unlimited transfer on 100mbps or 4TB limit on 1gbps
1x IPv4, IPv6 available by request

Renews at $48 yearly , paid for till November 27th, 2022

so essentially more than ten months left, asking only $30 to make it even cheaper compared to the regular offer ;-)

I haven't opened a support ticket yet, but I think a transfer won't be an issue as long as the receiver has an account in good standing.

any takers?

  • Do you think they can merge two accounts? If yes, then I can take it :)

    Team push-ups!

  • Just contacted support they said no :(

    What storage are you keeping vs servarica @Falzo

    I can take it, but I will let Sensei before me, as he was first

  • what do you mean by 'merging accounts'? stacking the service on top? I don't think they do that, so you would simply have it as a second service in your account.

    I got a bigger storage server over at Hetzner (~16TB) where I am moving stuff to and another smaller one which will appear here soon for grabs. also a SYS 4x2TB, hosthatch storage in stockholm and so on. right now my backup-sets more or less outgrew the 2TB mark and after all I am also focusing on european region...

    TL;DR; despite the servarica thing being a nice box which served me well for over a year now. I simply have more and closer by ...

    I am actually looking for a slightly larger backup box. @VPN you can go ahead and take it!

  • transfer done, thanks @VPN for the easy business and @servarica_hani for your support guys being helpful and quick as usual!

  • The plan is still orderable on Servarica's web site. I don't know if that means it is really in stock. I have been considering it for a while, depending.

    i keep resisting getting one myself , since last year :(

    I bench YABS 24/7/365 unless it's a leap year.

    cheapest storage vps on the market that's more regularly available. $2/TB for a full blown KVM vps with really decent performance. support is fast and helpful, in over a year there was only one larger (announced) downtime, when they moved DCs... there is not much that can go wrong, you only missed to get it even cheaper from me :-P

    it's a fair offer, if you need it, get it.
