(a) What processor model do these VPS run on?
(b) I might be tempted to try your service but I dislike those "write this or that comment to receive [double whatever]" games. Is there also a serious way to do business with you, like in between grown-ups? I'd very much prefer that.
Sad to see someone promoting an Amsterdam location, when it is very poorly connected. It's not worth even launching a site when all connectivity you hold is a blend of Telia+Cogent ... enjoy sub-optimal local routing through neighbouring countries for those biting at this rubbish!

Would you care to kindly elaborate please? This is a serious request and not intended to doubt you or to bash anyone. And I think it's relevant as AMS seems to be their only european location.

Shouldn't this speak for itself? Where's AMS-IX? Where's NL-IX? Heck, if it's about cutting costs: where are the free SPEED-IX/LS-IX/FrysIX? There's zero local connectivity.
This might work out just fine for international traffic, where a T1 backbone is travelled across anyway, but it will turn out quite odd for local traffic.
Some local ISP, whom I shouldn't mention by name, for example, only relies on local peering to exchange local traffic, where all other traffic is dumped at big German momma's backbone. In this case, that would result in routing to $isp Amsterdam POP, then to Frankfurt, to pass it to a Cogent/Telia hand-off, and back to Amsterdam.
Sure, we're talking about a 6ms RTT, but it does not make sense to me to open shop without realizing proper connectivity.
Note that I do not even mention the utter lack of IPv6, but hey: what would you expect. Ample of options in 'the gateway of Europe', and they opt to go with CC, who has a history, to say the least.
Wow, that's a great tool, I didn't know about this before. You are definitely right, but we do have to consider the price here and some 6ms RTT is still very reasonable.
I think it would be really bad only if you do a RIPE atlas probe and you end up seeing a lot of latency (much more than 6ms) in neighboring countries for consumer ISPs. Just my 2 cents, though I know you are probably the expert here.

Your attention has been doubled.
Nice to see Amsterdam deals
why do you always do 1GB, 2GB and 3.5GB RAM plans... Why 3.5GB instead of 4GB? 🤔
Anyone can post yabs from Amsterdam ? Thanks
he does it to piss me off on the 4GB.
Ambiguous subject lines are annoying AF.

There are 8 in-stock offers with 4GB RAM if you need that extra 512MB
Glad to see the Ashburn back! Those always seem super popular for some reason.
