Those servers perform very well, by the way. I have one in Milano. Prometeus are good people.

Very nice IOPS results. Perhaps a bit on the pricey side without the discount.

I received a mailer today that their TeraKVM series (shared cores with dual ssd+hdd block devices ) are also now available in NL.

Best value( per resource) seems to be

TERAKVM-1000 @ €9.0 / Month (2 vCPU, 4GB RAM, 100GB SSD, 1000GB HDD) https://www.prometeus.net/site/terakvm.php
