The cheapest dedi I ever got was $15/mo from them. Old xeon e3 but who cares. 32gb ram and 2x1tb drives. Im on month 14 now. Recieved one maint notice total. Definitely not fancy but a lot of box for the money

no ipv6 tho which is annoying

Webhook notifications beat email every time

Thank you hankels. €25 monthly is steep for someone starting. In Valencia we have many small hosting businesses and OVHcloud Gravelines is close, but the panel fee kills it under 30 domains.

I use OVHcloud directly for my own domains, not reseller. Their domain API is solid but the reseller program...

Which panel fee did you factor for OVHcloud, monthly or annual

I had same alert fatigue on PagerDuty—23 checks is brutal

V2 is sandy bridge-ep, avx but not avx2. For mail it does not matter but if you run any crypto later the v3 has better instructions per clock.

I have a v3 2678 in my basement, 48GB, draws 180W idle. The power bill is why I moved mail to a VPS.

Simple is better

One box. One purpose. No compose files that scroll for pages

The more you host the more you maintain

Latency is death.

Measure everything.
Optimize ruthlessly.
Cut the wire.

Frankfurt.
One switch.
No mercy.

Shared EPYC 7282 in Nuremberg when I tried them. 512MB is brutal on modern Linux. My OOM killer was doing more work than the actual workload.
