Auction es la mejor feature que tienen. Servidores viejos pero con Xeon y RAM de sobra. El mío tiene 2xE5-2660 v3, 128GB DDR4, 2x480GB SSD por 38 EUR. Para un Proxmox con 10 VMs es overkill total.

Actually my bigger worry is GDPR...

Following. Currently white-labeling Contabo and sweating.

Hybrid only works if you actually do something
