I was using Hetzner in the past and it was quite cheap. $5, then they bumped it to $7. Not a big deal. This was the server, now unavailable: [image] So the next “cheaper option” is “just” $5 more, for something that seems (to my basic knowledge), an inferior server? [image] To match the same t…

I’m using advinservers.com from 1 year now and i really like it

You’re on fire with the detailed replies. Really appreciate it! :raising_hands: Since I’m not an experienced developer, would I be able to build a small app deployed to Railway (which is what I use) and set it so I could have Brevo to trigger those email notifications? Just wondering if that would…

I just checked their page and it seems pretty similar to what Hetzner has to offer. Thanks for sharing!

As @David_Ghost suggested, advinservers.com seem to have some good setups and prices. Have you ever heard of them? Some reviews I was reading online and Trustpilot seem positive, but these days, anything online can be fake, so…
