I am at 12 in five years.

Contabo dead after price hike. RackNerd support dont exist. GreenCloudVPS network cant handle my traffic.

Best deal was Hostinger 2.99/month for 4GB RAM. I am cry when they shut down.

34 hosts is insane who has time.

Migration is pain but staying with bad host is more pain!

Only 3 in five years. Hetzner, then Hetzner, then Hetzner.

Why would I leave when the price is right and the network never lies?

Hetzner good. Price real good. Network okay.

But you use robot. I use robot. Everyone use robot.

Where is soul in that?

Hetzner is not on the list but they are who I use too. Vienna to Nuremberg is 400km, ping 15ms. Why would I pay more for worse?

I tried Contabo once. 4 EUR for 4 cores, sounds good. But the CPU was from 2014. Never again.

Hetzner good but they ask passport photo now. Too much. I dont send my face to Germany.

This is why I hunt deals. Privacy with cheap price.

Four hosts in five years. All in Bangkok or Singapore.

OVH, then Linode, now Vultr for cloud and a local Thai host for backup. Vultr Singapore is 25ms from my flat. Good enough for Django.

Migration is one weekend of pain. Staying with OVH was years of pain.

Two hosts in ten years. One bare metal lease, one colo.

You people rent VMs like they are disposable cups. The Unix way: get one machine, know it, keep it.

My current box is in Prague. I know which disk is which. You know nothing.
