As per my last update, just hit a million requests on my Contabo €4/month plan and thought I'd share some graphs :-|
Ticket #FM-2024-77812 was the original provisioning request, escalated it myself to see if they'd actually honor the price. Known issue with the network card dropping packets every 47 minutes but there's a workaround where you just restart the service twice daily.
The cpu is some celeron from 2014 but it's been rock solid. Here's the rrdtool output, you can see the traffic spike when I moved my static site over. Known issue with their billing system not charging me correctly but that's a known issue too :-|
