No deal yet, just me possibly thinking up some New Years specials

If you will call it " NY special" the best we can offer is 7$/year.

Edit: And it should include IPv4, apart from @emgh's VPS which only should have IPV6

Maybe a couple

When i registered with Hetzner they gave option to send ID or make €20 deposit with PayPal, I made deposit and there was no problem after that

Rekt @beanman109

i used to have a hetzner account, verified the same way
it got closed for an unpaid invoice of 0.25 euro

Meanwhile: I logged in to Scaleway like a week ago and paid a invoice from 2017. No issues, no fee added

They did charge a verification fee for the card though for like 10x the invoice. Don’t think it was refunded but didn’t check recently

i've always wanted to try scaleway but the boxes are always cheaper from oneprovider so i end up just buying through them

I am experiencing a whole different world with arm servers... It's like a leper colony. Different architecture, can't migrate stuff easily. U gotta learn to live differently albeit it's cheaper.

Saw the earlier discussion about it

If you don't want to go with the other suggestion like Ansible (great but learning curve) or Docker (great but for some use cases) then may I recommend moving away from the Arm server for Proxmox VE because the cost savings won't offset the extra time and hassle

You can set up a new PVE elsewhere, create a template to get started and use it set up the VMs or containers again

I also found my emails from 2012 an 2014 with Hetzner where I had to send photo of front and back side of my ID and payment method (credit card) via email. Good old' archaic times.

Never again with Hetzner.

Interesting, I keep hearing stories like this.

I registered a Hetzner account for my company and I didn't get asked for any KYC at all. I guess they'd be able to check the records at Companies House, but that seems like more effort for them as a Germany company to check a UK company rather than just asking me for ID if that's what they want.

Well I am from non-EU country so probably it's one of the things raising the flag.

Thats why I suggested Epyc 7000 + DDR4 which should be affordable & fit in everyone's budget.

Yes it's limited quantity anyway so the difference between $7/y or $3/y is not that much in total $
Imagine the publicity you get with $3/y deal vs $7/y deal

But... What if I don't want to provide a low quality service at a low quality price while my main other service is High Performance Web and VDS...

You see?

10 x ($7 - $3) = $40 per year
Worth it no?
