Need 32TB+ usable storage — auction server or build my own? · Dedicated Servers

I'm late to this but has anyone mentioned the IPMI/BMC situation on auction servers?

My Contabo R730 came with iDRAC 8 Express. No remote console without Enterprise license, which Dell doesn't sell anymore for these. So "IPMI included" is technically true but functionally useless for remote recover...

What's the weirdest 'free bonus' you've gotten with hosting? · Deals & Offers

Did anyone else get the cryptocurrency wallet thing or was wendy singled out? KnownHost's pricing starts at $3.50, that margin cannot support hardware giveaways unless they are buying pallets of failed ICO merch.

What do you use for monitoring stock on sold-out budget plans? · Deals & Offers

@tinaworm Did you try emailing their sales? I got put on a waitlist for Oslo stock once. Took two weeks but they notified me directly. No script needed.

Might not work for budget plans though. Worth a sentence in an email.
