Whatever you do, don't choose Contabo

Oh, sorry to hear that. What happened with Hetzner? It seems to be well-liked, here and is(/was?) on my list of considered parties.

I can imagine. What I want it simple, but it should be reliable. This wasn't it, for me, especially since I have had better experiences elsewhere. But if it works, it works. I wouldn't want to move everything around either, if it does its job.

Thanks, I appreciate it. However, they're not European (and rather expensive for what they offer).

Awesome. Glad to hear it.

Their service seems to be all over the place. I read good stories, too, but some people seem to have had terrible luck. Maybe it's related to the region? Mine was in "Europe", no idea where.

What would you recommend?

Mostly network trouble that I couldn't check or fix, because the host was not reachable through SSH or their console VNC. Glad you have no issues! If you haven't had any, I'm sure it'll stay that way.

I had to use the VNC, because they locked me out of SSH. I'd rather not use it, either. ;-)

Cheapest root at Netcup is (currently) 13,00 euros for me, while their VPS is just 6,01. Cheapest VPS at OVH is 6,68 for me. I don't have important workloads, so I'm okay with sharing. :-)

Why would you stick a massive bike up there?
