Is LowHosting RKVMPROTECTED16 server price at €10/m really good?
Hi, I have this RKVMPROTECTED16 plan from LowHosting for €10/m. I'm idling it right now, but still want to keep it 
Do you think it's worth keeping? How does it compare to providers, e.g., Netcup root server line?
This server has built-in DDOS protection, but I don't really like it because they block ICMP by default, so it's hard to ping or do traceroute.

If you don't want to keep it, I'll take it
It's an amazing deal, don't cancel it.
Ah is this the one you bought from me? Pretty dope machine.
Wooowww
yeah the one I got from you. Still couldn't figure out how did you get it
the closest one was the giveaway, but that is still 12 eur/mon
Very solid compute VM, will serve you well if you need something strong.
What region is it in, by the way?
I'll take it if you dont want. My idle collection need moar.
I think it's in Germany
I was thinking about selling it, but the price/perf is too appealing for me
Run something that takes up 100% cpu (ffmpeg) and see what the steal is. A dope machine isn't that dope if it's overloaded. At 10/m, I figure there's at least 30 other VMs -- if you're lucky, most of them are idlers also saving it for the apocalypse.
If they do not oversell ram, then most likely his fair share cpu is 4 threads so maybe it could be said that he has 4 dedicated threads. This is why ryzens are known for their good performance as they are built for consumers and the max RAM supported nowadays is 128 GB. You can't really oversell cpu that much with ryzens.
Lowhosting is in general great, as long as you do not run things blocked by voxility.
