And they use to offer but only through this website.
2 cores
8 GB Ram
80 GB disk
10 gbps network (symmetrical)
"fair-use" bandwidth (15 TB/month)
a static IPv4 address
a /64 static IPv6 block
located in Europe
For 18 Euros per year.
Now, to set some expectations. For 18 EUR per YEAR:
You're NOT getting 99.999% uptime
That said, they are pretty reliable (especially as a hobbist platform)
For this price point, you're not getting blazing fast hardware.
The reliability does depend a lot on your neighbors
The biggest problem I've had is with IO (and high/unusable IO-waits). I've had IO operations blocked for 5 minutes.
However, their Support is really helpful, if you're not a jerk nor expecting 99.999% uptime with SLA's. And you can provide timestamps when issues occur, they will go out of their way to try to improve the situation.
I did have issues with their network 6 months ago, but they did some migrations and I haven't noticed any issues.
You will want to look at their Fair-use document, to see what you're allowed and not allowed to do with your bandwidth.
That said, I'm very satisfied with them... but, at this price point, I won't be surprised if they "disappear in a year".
When I look at what other VPS companies are offering for 18 Eur: I feel I'm getting a much better value from DeluxHost.
They’re gaming-focused, but their Ryzen vps boxes are really performant. Very helpful and competent support, great uptime and comms, solid tooling and monitoring.
You can pay with a virtual card no problem. Never had issues getting blocked when behind VPN either.
Bad, when it comes to privacy. They have a pretty heavy internal advertisenent campaign, trying to sell you stuff you don’t need and offers based on your usage, it’s a bit disgusting, really.
Hetzner is quite infamous for suddenly terminating people’s service and forcing customers to provide copies of their ID to get running again. They’re a great provider for many things but fall flat when it comes to privacy.
True, I almost forgot that I had to give them my ID. That's pretty bad for your own privacy, but other than that Germany has better privacy laws than most other countries
I built a custom firewall - on gitlab if ya want - it enhances the privacy and anti-tracking I want for myself without locking myself out of everything.

Perhaps you'd like DeluxHost.
You can pay with crypto (I never tried it).

Those are crazy prices I can't believe they can continue operating at those prices for long.

It’s a weird pick, but I recommend https://bloom.host/.

You meant vpn ...?
ramasses@social.ozymandias.club · 22 pts · 171d
No, virtual private server, I am looking for a provider that respects privacy and is decently cheap.
