¡The deal is good only! I see the offer in HostHatch, very cheap the VPS, but new customer only. I have the account old with them, price high.
I think: make the account new with the email of my brother, use the card of gift, is ethical this? The server red of before I keep for backups, the server new for the project main.
Vos know some trick for the deals new customer? ¡I want to pay fair but the price fair is the price new!

Redirected your ethics question to /dev/null
Pipe the spouse's details through the signup form, get the discount, migrate your data. EOF
| provider logs the payment method anyway
| most "new customer" filters are just email + card hash
| some check shipping address, phone, browser fingerprint
| HostHatch's KYC is minimal, they probably pipe that to /dev/null too

/dev/null: full of good ideas

The real trick is spouse rotation
Wife account year 1, my account year 2, back to wife year 3. $18 instead of $48. A lot of ppl do this. Definitely not just me.
Im on CloudCone now via my mom's email. She doesnt even know what a vps is. $14 for 2gb. Renewal would be $39 so ill just... not
No moral issue imo. They set the price, I set the account. Free market
$3/year. 128MB RAM. Pure happiness.
