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…

Ich nutze Netcup und bin sehr zufrieden. Der Preis ist auch okay. [image] Server hosting for every requirement - affordable & secure | netcup Powerful servers, root servers & ARM servers from Germany. For more digital sovereignty in Europe! Flexible, affordable & secure. Discover now! …

personally, i would not run a dual container configuration on anything less than an 8GB RAM 4CPU 80GB disk, but your mileage and situation may differ. i’m running a relatively busy forum on this hetzner setup with around 300 active users, and anywhere from 70-100 DEU. bash script to find hetzner s…

Unfortunately, Hetzner is pretty much without alternative when it comes to price; for VMs, Netcup works, but as soon as it’s about larger servers, I’ve never found anything that’s similar in price. I’d also like to know what the alternatives are, especially European ones.

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…

I’m using an config with ryzen, 4vcpu, 8gb ram and 256gb nvme for $10 a month. It’s no longer available right now, but it’s works very well. You can join their discord too. Its very active.

No, that’s the first I’m hearing of them, although I don’t exactly have standard server requirements. My current machine at Hetzner: 36 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) W-2295 CPU 512 GB RAM 4 TB SSD 12 TB HDD Including an additional server for backups, that comes to €347.91 per month.

Wouldn’t this be similar (or better) than what I was using with Hetzner? Advin [image] Hetzner: [image] I’m new to this, so bear with me…
