  You should consider increasing the prices a bit, at this rate I worry other providers might go bankrupt.

  Or one that isn't basically a 4 core version of online.net's 4.74€/m Atom:

  https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Atom+C2338+@+1.74GHz&id=2381

  Someone's clearly gaming the garbage disposal business. Get paid to remove people's e-waste, sell for $100/m on LET, double profit.

  I hate these guys. Absolutely the worst host I've ever dealt with. Expect insane price changes and terms that won't be respected if leadership changes.

  So over 350 W for something a raspberry pi could beat? That thing is literally 20 years old.

  Over 350W might be a little high estimate (my guess would probably be somewhere around 300W) but its still 2x 120W TDP on the CPUs alone.

  For comparison an E5-2637v2 has 10W more TDP with double the single- and triple the multicore peformance while still being ancient and costing like literal $4-5 on Ebay. Madness... extremely wasteful madness.

  The X5355 seemingly still supports DDR2 though... everyone wants 16GB of DDR2, right?

  https://www.techpowerup.com/cpu-specs/xeon-x5355.c3489 says TDP is 120 W but max power is 177 W. Remember that TDP is often calculated at base frequency, not boost frequency.

  Well, it seems a bit steep for the hardware offered unless managed actually means managed.

  Would you want a 4 core online.net Atom at $100/m just because it's managed?

  To be fair though, your right, i really didn't see the managed part. I still don't regret anything i've said
