- free tier: A sale published on 2026-08-07 lists dedicated servers from USD 25 a month with 32 GB RAM, 1 TB of disk and 40 TB of bandwidth, in Los Angeles or Buffalo, with AMD or Intel hardware. The same vendor's earlier sale listed an Intel Xeon E3-1240 with 16 GB, a 1 TB SSD, 10 TB of bandwidth, a 1 Gbps port and a /30 IPv4 at USD 178.08 a year, which is USD 14.84 a month, and a Xeon E3-1270v6 with 64 GB and a 1 TB SSD at USD 49.88 a month. | unit: GiB | metered on: wall-clock | read on: 2026-08-07 | source: [1] | note: kind not stated
- per-object cap: not applicable | source: [1]
- retention: not applicable | source: [1]
- egress: 'dedicated servers starting at just $25/month! And that's with 32GB of RAM, 1TB of disk, and 40TB of bandwidth', in Los Angeles or Buffalo, AMD or Intel; the post also states 'ColoCrossing is a HostPapa brand' | metered: yes | source: [2]
- identity: card
- interface: unknown
- limits:
  - volume-quota (binding): the port alone would move about 320 TB a month at line rate. [1]
- limits note: the port alone would move about 320 TB a month at line rate.
- binding note: the same as limits note
- interface detail: inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed
- tooling: not stated
- composes with: 32 GB and 40 TB of transfer for USD 25 is the cheapest published 32 GB shape, and it composes with a cheap VPS as the front end because the port is only 1 Gbps.
- reliability: no reliability event recorded
- notes: The rung is `reported` because the vendor's own dedicated page is a marketing article with no price table and the only dated numbers come from LowEndBox, which is a third-party deals site quoting the vendor's sale. The annual figure of USD 14.84 a month is a 2024 sale and is recorded to show the shape of this vendor's discounting, not as a current price. ColoCrossing being a HostPapa brand is the reliability fact that matters in a lane where the usual failure is an operator that disappears.

## ColoCrossing, 8GB RAM Specials (twenty SKUs)

- `compute/colocrossing-8gb-annual` | paid-only | evidence documented | binding volume-quota | category VPS | tier 8GB RAM Specials (twenty SKUs)
- needs card yes, phone no, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-10-24T06:30:00.000Z (live) | stale on 2026-11-24
- url https://cloud.colocrossing.com/index.php?rp=/store/specials
- price parsed USD 3.33/mo
- disagrees on verdict: `compute/colocrossing-8gb-annual` says paid-only, `compute/colocrossing-cyber-monday` says dead
- free tier: no free tier; the specials store's cheapest rung is the 1 GB at USD 3.95 a month | unit: none | metered on: none | read on: 2026-10-24 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: not applicable
- retention: the disk persists while the plan is paid; the specials are annual prepay with no refund term stated on the card
- egress: 20TB to 40TB a month depending on the SKU, on a '1Gbps Port Speed' | metered: yes | free allowance: 20TB to 40TB a month | source: [1]
- identity: card | detail: the store is a WHMCS cart; no ID document or company is stated on the specials page. Card hold not stated: unverified rather than none.
- interface: ssh
- limits:
  - volume-quota (binding): 20TB to 40TB a month depending on SKU [1]
- binding note: traffic is generous; the thing that fails is stock, because every one of the twenty 8 GB SKUs reads 0 available.
- interface detail: KVM with full root; the store is a WHMCS cart
- tooling: any SSH client
- composes with: 8 GiB with 4 vCPU and 165 GB SSD for USD 3.33 a month, if any of the twenty SKUs is ever in stock
- reliability: no reliability event recorded
- notes: A LowEndTalk thread cites USD 44.44 a year for 8 GB / 4 vCPU / 80 GB / 40 TB, which would be USD 3.70 a month. The vendor's own specials page carries twenty 8 GB SKUs at USD 39.99 to USD 75.00 a year, including three at USD 39.99 (USD 3.33 a month) and four at USD 44.44. Every single one reads '0 Available', and a product page returns an explicit 'Out of Stock ... orders for it have been suspended until more stock is available'. So the prices are real, published and unusable. VERDICT: 'paid-only' rather than a qualification, because a row that cannot be bought is not an offer — the DediRock lesson applied one step further. Worst case exposure is moot while nothing can be bought. Worth re-checking: these are restocked periodically, and the shapes are the best in the band if they return.
- evidence note: twenty 8 GB SKUs were enumerated with their prices, shapes and stock counters from the vendor's own specials page today; every one reads 0 available and the product page returns an explicit Out of Stock body.
- extras:
  - shape.vcpu: 4
  - shape.ram_gib: 8
  - shape.disk_gib: 165
  - billing_model: annual prepay on the 8 GB specials; monthly on the older ones
  - term: 12 months on the USD 39.99 and USD 44.44 SKUs
  - m10h_usd: 3.33
  - m24h_usd: 3.33
  - price_arithmetic: USD 39.99 a year / 12 = USD 3.3325 a month, the cheapest 8 GiB price found in the band. USD 44.44 a year / 12 = USD 3.70. USD 55.00 a year / 12 = USD 4.58. It is a VPS on annual prepay, so no 730-hour multiplication. No conversion needed: the page prices in USD.

  - renewal_note: not published: the specials cards price 'Annually' with no renewal sentence. Whether the annual recurs at the same price is unstated.
  - promo: no

  - ipv6: not stated on the card
  - payment_methods: not read: every 8 GB product page returns the Out of Stock body before a payment step. unverified

## ColoCrossing (cyber monday)

- `compute/colocrossing-cyber-monday` | dead | evidence documented | binding volume-quota | category VPS | tier Yearly Cloud VPS 1/2/3/4 GB, 40% off monthly VPS with BLACKFRIDAY24, dedicated servers

- disagrees on verdict: `compute/colocrossing-8gb-annual` says paid-only, `compute/colocrossing-cyber-monday` says dead
- free tier: no free tier; the page advertises yearly VPS from USD 12.00 and monthly VPS from USD 2.37 after a coupon | unit: none | metered on: none | read on: 2026-10-24 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: not applicable
- retention: the disk persists while the plan is paid; no deletion clock stated
- egress: 10 TB a month on the yearly VPS tiers, 20 TB on the monthly tiers, stated as Bandwidth | metered: yes | free allowance: 10 TB | source: [1]
- identity: card | detail: card at signup through the cloud portal or the register/order portal; no hold stated
- interface: ssh
- limits:
  - volume-quota (binding): 10 TB a month of bandwidth on the yearly VPS tiers [1]
- binding note: Stock on the yearly tiers and a coupon on the monthly ones: neither price on the page is what a cart shows without one or the other.
- interface detail: root SSH on a KVM guest; cloud portal at cloud.colocrossing.com
- tooling: any SSH client; the cloud portal
- composes with: Would be the cheapest yearly machine at USD 12.00 for 1 GiB, but every yearly cart is out of stock and the monthly carts reprice.
- reliability: no reliability event recorded
- notes: The strongest fossil, because the product slugs still carry the year: the $12.00 yearly VPS is served from '1gb-black-friday-vps-2024'. Three of the four yearly carts return Out of Stock; the fourth repoints to a monthly category at $3.95. The six monthly VPS offers also repoint to that same category, so the $2.37 figure depends on the BLACKFRIDAY24 coupon being applied to a $3.95 cart - 40% off $3.95 is $2.37, which is consistent but was not tested, because applying a coupon needs a cart session and places no orders. Not verified: whether BLACKFRIDAY24 is still accepted in 2026.
- evidence note: The Cyber Monday page and four yearly carts plus two monthly carts were read. The page prices and the cart behaviour are both quoted; the coupon's effect on a cart was not tested because that needs a cart session.
- extras:
  - shape.vcpu: 1
  - shape.ram_gib: 1
  - shape.disk_gib: 20
  - billing_model: annual
  - term: annual prepay, or monthly on the coupon tiers
  - price_arithmetic: USD 12.00 a year divided by 12 is USD 1.00 a month, paid once. Not recorded as a live price because the cart is out of stock. The monthly figure USD 2.37 is USD 3.95 less 40%, and 2.37 x 12 = USD 28.44 a year, which is worse than the yearly offer it replaced.

  - session_cap.note: none; it is a VPS
  - sale_page_year: 2024 (from the product slugs; the page itself carries no year)
  - coupon: BLACKFRIDAY24, named on the page, not tested
- evidence:
