Sir, my Munich server at Contabo, price double this month. Made VPS last month for client, now migration only option. Thank you very much sir for any advice. Looking at Finland, Nordics, maybe cheaper power. Very worried about database migration, sir.

Looking at Finland
  • Frankfurt: 380g CO2/kWh, €0.41/kWh current
  • Helsinki: 120g CO2/kWh, €0.19/kWh
  • Your typical E3-1230v6, 85W average: 745 kWh/year

Carbon intensity difference is 194kg CO2/year saved. As said, Contabo Nuremberg runs 60% fossil. Hetzner Helsinki claims 95% renewable but burns Russian gas for backup. Greenwashing angle: check Scope 2 vs Scope 3 reporting. Most providers lie by omission.
