You don't care about yabs geekbench score.
Most are resellers.
on dedi is ipmi access included
Only @gigahost owned data center here, all others only colocation or reseller.
I know most provider offering KVM virtualization (or at least OpenVZ7), but from my last experience I would ask "Can you enable tun/tap device " if they only offer LXC container.
edit: ... and if they allow payment with crypto, I would ask "Which crypto payment gateway " too.

One-man show
writing a new offer soon, this is going in our reference pack on making offers, good info and funny.
There used to be a host years ago that ended up having different sorts of issues. Meaning, clients should have asked how safe would you be from a psycho that will hound both you, your clients, and everyone associated with you?
Even worse, there used to be a datacenter owner out of the US that sold a while back, and he was... well, a character -- let's say the least.
All sorts of people in the business. Ask the right questions, but many of those aren't the right questions.
The right questions would be whether or not you would be able to communicate with the owner of the business if need be, and if your services would be cut off based on a complaint (everyone in the hosting business knows that an email, fax, etc. is just that -- it's not proof of any wrongdoing, it just makes it easier on the Staff to be proactive and nullroute) and if you can't come to terms with that, you are either not worth as a customer to them, or they are just assholes...
Either way, plenty more fish in the sea... plenty more options... even reverse proxies, with everything that you noted... but the real things that the providers never mention in their threads are how they respond to negative attention, attacks, etc... and, obviously, like previously mentioned: nullroute.
Something that should not happen in 99.9% of cases.
IMHO.
Boy I'm trying to make a list out of all this and it's overwhelming, maybe it's better if we just leave it here to point out for providers that make offer threads that missing too much info?
Oh I have a new one to add, if you list 2 locations in the offer post but your order link doesn't give a choice then you should answer the fucking question when they ask repeatedly which location will be deployed!
do you use the new fraudrecord features
Just for the record, because today's PrivacyNightmareRecord post magically disappeared. Thankfully I had the announcement saved:
