This. I asked Contabo pre-sales about their dedicated tier, got a PDF with "dedicated resources" highlighted three times. Never "bare metal," never "physical." Careful language.

Following this thread closely. Just got my first "server" - a dell t320 from ebay. Single e5-2450v2, 64GB ram, 8x 3.5" bays for $120.

Haven't decided between proxmox or truenas yet. Leaning proxmox because I want to run more than just storage. Is 64GB enough for zfs + vms?

This thread saved me. Was about to sign similar deal. What monitoring tool you all use for MTR? I need something that logs 24/7 for evidence.

Edge this whole problem by never giving origin to these pops

I cache hit on GreenCloudVPS free tier instead, it's 12 now vs RackNerd at 340

Miss on their "verification" story though, obvious origin pain

Pop your card details to fewer places brother

GoDaddy? That explains the $89. Their renewal prices are brutal after first year promo. Transfer out to Cloudflare or Porkbun once you're clear. Don't let them auto-renew again.

Account credit is useless if you're leaving anyway. Hold firm for grace delete or card refund.

Following the thread. Based in Mumbai - Hetzner's closest presence is Singapore, cloud only, no auction servers. OVHcloud has nothing in India. Contabo has Mumbai but the routing to EU is via Singapore, 140ms to London.

Hostinger's Mumbai DC is real, 18ms local. For Indian traffic it's the obvious...

Following this thread. Same situation, three people, mix of Hostinger VPS and a Hetzner box.

Real IPv4 for $10/year is insane. I pay more than that per month for IPs alone at some places. No wonder it vanished in minutes.
