Epyc Dedicated Server Required
Hi! I need an EPYC server with at least 24 cores and a high per-core CPU benchmark. 512 GB of RAM, either 3x 2 TB or 2x 4TB or more NVMe storage, 2x 10gbps connection and DDoS protection. Can be in the Netherlands, France or Germany. Will bring our own ASN and subnet.
The budget is 240 EUR a month.

Is that for hosting your customers/own website? Since they're gone since this afternoon...
We found the server and are waiting for IP announcement.
You are clearly very good at announcing, your customers know about nothing...
We issued a maintenance notice on our status page, as always.
Yeah right. You're requesting a server here on the 30th, you go down on the 31st. So you expect your customers to check your "status page" daily?
If you do maintaince of this kind at least a mail one week before happening, should be standard. And then, when the move starts your website is also off-air, so even if people missed the announcement, they are not able to see what's happening.
That's why I'm saying "you're very good at announcing".
Those who subscribed to status updates got an email, no need to check. The reason I asked about a new server is because our current provider kept delaying the delivery without an explanation. They finally delivered today morning with an ETA of downtime of 1 hour which turned into 24. The server was ordered weeks ago.
Maybe, just maybe, you should try to keep to your story.
When you do an IP change, earlier this year, you mail people. Now you suddenly don't mail people when you have a move to another datacenter and have quite substantional downtime.
Then you come here and say "you should have checked the status page or got subscribed to status updates" while at the same time you send this reply on my support e-mail:
"To a better data center on better hardware, no announcement because we were not aware when its happening either. Sorry about that."
Just admit you're making a mess of things. You didn't announce, you didn't send out e-mails, and you're moving to another location without telling customers, you're moving all of a sudden without proper preperation, so I call that a mess.
When we did an IP change we knew in advance. And yes, like I said - we were not aware of the time or even date, we got delays after delays and I guess its our fault too for choosing such providers. Yes its bad, but it was not intentional to make customers experience worse. It is what it is now, all we can do is prevent such issues from happening again.
So basically you admit that you didn't send out a maintenance notice - you were telling lies here. You're making it worse for yourself!
We issued, at the time we knew irs happening which was at the time it started. Its the truth so it doesn't matter to me if I make kt worse for myself if I tell the truth.
At the time it started your website was unavailable. The excuse of not knowing beforehand is no excuse for not sending out an e-mail what is happening to affected customers.
And now you're moving your VPSes from the Netherlands to a different country - just all of a sudden. No signs or communication beforehand.
You are really lacking any care or understanding of your customers.
18 hours of unannounced, "unplanned" but foreseen downtime now. And hearing the "waiting for IP announcement" for over half of that time now...
Wondering if anyone here got this referred e-mail "to status page subscribers". Wondering what's in there, if it has mentioned 24+ hours of downtime etc. And ofcrouse if it really exists.
