Hello guys
So, a number of days after I came upon I would like a customized answer on the worth of Hetzner however with low-cost IPs.. After a number of days of analysis, and discussions on boards, I used to be instructed to contact @Mevspace . And I have to say, I’m very, very shocked about their help, but additionally, a bit disenchanted about one factor, however… I’ll describe it in a while.
In addition to Mevspace, I used to be additionally contemplating Rise-1 from OVH (E-2136, 64GB RAM, 2x512NVMe, 2x4TB SATA HDD), largely due to low-cost IPs, however worth received. I excluded @Hetzner_OL due to their IP setup worth – I do know instances are exhausting, however hey, 304EUR (ex. VAT) for organising a /28 subnet? No, thanks, that is positively an excessive amount of…
I took a have a look at ServerHunter and another Low-Finish suppliers, however I didn’t wish to use vintage {hardware} like L5420 and pay extra cash for a second SSD and two HDDs…
So I contacted Mevspace by e mail asking about customizing the server – I wrote a question late Sunday night and… Their gross sales division answered… After one hour! After a number of emails with numerous questions on for instance platform and so on., they lastly ready a suggestion (it was lower than 12 hours since I despatched a question). I used to be very shocked as a result of… They used a voucher for the usual server to make it cheaper. As soon as I made a cost, their technician instantly mounted 2 HDD drives. Sadly, these weren’t new (for now, each have about 28k power-on hours).
Additionally, technical help response time was… I have to name it instant. Sure – they delivered a server with Debian 10, however I wanted CentOS 8 and after reinstalling, the server stopped responding.
And right here comes the factor that disenchanted me:. After one hour of a help name, technicians discovered that…. RHEL-based photographs don’t work on this practice setup!. That disenchanted me a bit. As an alternative of cloud-init picture, I additionally tried to put in Rocky Linux through KVM and… That is the error I obtained:

Began cancel ready for multipath sibling of sda

In addition to, I can not say something unhealthy about Mevspace. I assumed Hetzner is superb, however when an analogous scenario occurred to my server at Hetzner, the technician solely related KVM and good luck. Hetzner’s technician didn’t care that the difficulty occurred after executing their installimagescript and with their supported, official CentOS picture. No investigation – complete will of assist was simply to attach KVM.

And now, one thing for YABS fanatics. YABS from Mevnode:
