Right then, flash sale on Hostinger's "lifetime" VPS, $12/year. Cart said stock held for 20 minutes while I fumbled my card. Proper panic, expired debit, had to grab the missus's. Payment failed twice, third time went through—item gone.

But here's the kicker: my mate Dave, same sale, paid in 45 seconds flat. His went through. Mine said "held" the whole time. Either their "hold" is a polite fiction, or I'm the unluckiest badger on the box. Anyone else clock the timer actually working?

Honey badger don't care... about downtime

Which providers take XMR? Hostinger only does stripe yeah? Wouldve been instant with monero no 3ds bullshit

Their "hold" is probably just client side javascript lol
