ARM vs x64: same price, which would you pick? · VPS Hosting
Vultr's cheap x64 tiers, do they expose the iGPU or only the premium nodes? I dig through their docs last month, unclear. Why they hide this?

Yes, since early this year for EU accounts. I grandfathered in. Wouldn't open fresh there now if I needed quiet.

I had a BuyVM slice in Luxembourg for about eight months. Nothing dramatic, but I moved to Hetzner because the routing to Bucharest was consistently worse than their price suggested it should be. 180ms to my own upstream when Contabo Munich gives me 25ms.

No. I asked support in 2022, they said "no GPU passthrough on VPS, only VDS." VDS starts at €13/month. Still no guarantee of iGPU, could be Xeon E5 without.

What do you expect from Atom C2550? The server is not made for transcoding. Look at dedicated server with iGPU, you can do VAAPI passthrough real nice. Why suffer with VPS when for little more money you get real hardware? Check OVHcloud or RackNerd, they have cheap dedicated with i3 and UHD P630. Wh...

The server for billing panel exist already, no? Why we make another one? Why not contribute to existent project?
My VPS runs Hestia, so I know the panel space. If you make new panel, make it for specific niche: hosts without cPanel, without Softaculous, only bare metal and KVM. Let us talk architec...
