No.
Provider would be selling 2008-era dedicated core for ridiculous price.

Do these even exist nowadays?

Maximum price should be recurring?

For Example:
Plan: Shared
Price: $3/mo for the first 12 months then $11/mo.

Prices are not required to be recurring. Though, nobody likes non-recurring offers

Price limit rules are suspended for offer posts between Nov 25, 2022 and Nov 28, 2022 in the spirit of BF/CM.

If you’re not of legal age to make contractual obligations there is most definitely a problem.

Idk how to view the situation personally. They're the legal age to register a company in the UK, where is the line drawn?

As per the rule, I guess - legal age to form a contract in their own country so we can call Interpol when they steal our money.

IMO If a person is of legal age to register, or be listed as an officer of a company, one can expect that the country in question considers them of legal age to make contractual obligations.

I listed the date the rule went into effect in my above comment as a janitorial duty so that it was clear that only members requesting a hosting provider tag after Dec 1st, 2022 would be effected by that rule.

Hi Riki,

It’s easy to get permission to post an offer! I just need a payment of $200 in Bitcoin and the ability to post offers will be unlocked! PM me for more details.

ISO 9000 certification seems to be cheap these days.

As seen from the case of Stromonic:

https://lowendspirit.com/discussion/5655/stromonic-now-requires-all-client-accounts-to-be-verified-or-suspension-of-services-may-result#latest

Hosts must state if they require KYC (passport, bill proving address etc.) when selling their products. After paying, customers shouldn't be bombarded, without prior notice, with KYC threat (if not, your service will be suspended).
