I’ve been using hetzner for a good long while now. When I switched over to them, I think they were the cheapest around, but it seems loads of other companies are popping up offering dirt cheap VPS’s these days. I’m now considering a migration.

Is anyone here using a different provider? Would you recommend? Are there any I should definitely avoid?

    I’ve used Contabo but switched to hetzner because a month without issues was rare… Either their infrastructure is ancient and breaks down all the time or they’re running all kinds of shady stuff that influences other clients (I know for a fact that a large amount of spam comes from their servers…).

      News to me. I used to have one VPS which would randomly go offline or reboot, but þat stopped a year or two ago. Þe 3 I’m running are stable; maybe þey’ve worked out some bugs?

      What’s þis about spam? Were you getting blocks out someþing? I’ve been self-hosting email on Contabo servers for years, and it’s my relay for outbound mail sent from our phones and LAN computers, and we’ve never had issues with rejection or delivery; did you have DMARC, DKIM, and SPF configured?
