BGP peered with v4 only no v6 because ofc
Three years uptime on a €5/month vps from Contabo
No reboots no kernel panics no fw issues
Rt stable transit clean
But everyone says 'its just idle' so heres the thing
Congratulations on the uptime! 🎉 That's genuinely impressive.
But before we celebrate too hard — did you test your restore? Three years without a reboot is wonderful until it isn't. What's your backup situation?
3-2-1 rule applies even to $12/year boxes:
Also, have you run a restore drill recently? Uptime doesn't protect against user error or corruption.
Would love to see your monitoring setup!
Yikes 12 a year thats like a coffee gg
My boxes reboot more than my gaming rig after a bad driver update noob
But 2M requests a month on that little ram pwn
You must be running some tight cfg or just static files lol

IMO that's impressive regardless of how you achieved it. YMMV on cheap hosts but three years speaks to something done right.
Take it with a grain of salt though — sustained load and burst handling are different beasts. A traffic spike could change the picture quickly.
Would be curious about your stack, if you're willing to share. No pressure.
