Cyber Monday Deals: Our Top Picks From the Best Cyber Monday 2018 Sales

The Monday after the Thanksgiving weekend in the US is referred to as 'Cyber Monday'. The term was primarily coined by companies to get everyone to shop online. Since then the term has been used by several international online retailers around the world to promote online sales. Last year, Cyber Monday sales were reported to cross $3.364 billion in the US. While some of these sales include deals that spill over from Black Friday sales, Cyber Monday also includes several discounts on online services and other digital products. If you're shopping from India, this is a good time to grab a VPN service or sign up for a web hosting account. Here are our top picks from all the Cyber Monday deals available so far:

NordVPN
There are a bunch of good VPN deals floating around this Cyber Monday, but you've got to be careful not to fall for fake VPNs.
