Looking for a dedicated server to run ESXi
Hello everyone, I'd like some advice from you experts. 
I am in the process of looking to a server to run ESXi 6.7 or 7.0. I will somewhat high performance web/SQL servers on it so it needs to be powerful both regarding CPU and I/O.
What would you recommend for me? This needs to be located in EU, either UK or NL perferably. Cost not much more than €250/mo.
Thanks in advance!

We can pre-install esxi 7.
ESXi is end of life afaik.
Make sure you get IPMI.
ESXi end of life? What are you talking about.
You could get a great server from Hetzner if you want to reconsider Germany. Also, Psychz has some servers that support ESXi.
And @TimboJones, ESXi is far from dead. They just released ESXi 7.
it think sys also has it
I failed to say "6.7”. I think it happened on 8.0 release.

I mean... vmware kinda is DOA if you consider Broadcom's parent bought it out from Dell.
