thanks
indeed, it feels more welcoming and much less likely to be ridiculed as a newbie

Hi! I've heard nothing but good things about nexusbytes - they have 'free' blesta, have servers in germany and fit your budget. (I haven't tried them yet though, think they mentioned they may have some new offers at NY for christmas so I'm waiting for that)

Welcome @Massimo at LES!

Amitz

I wonder - are there any EU providers with free or included Blesta?
Other than https://nexusbytes.com/cart.php?gid=3 (which would already be a good recommendation)?
Could the right provider please stand up?

I would also suggest changing the thread title so that people here have a better chance to help you out.
@AnthonySmith?

yeah, we spoke and he is indeed a friendly chap.

You can also tell him a joke to make his day. Good chap @seriesn even though his sweet tooth is coming to bite him. No pun intended

With that budget, you are getting a more than decent vps from @seriesn, not just half decent.

terrorgen

You don't need much resources to run pihole and $12/month at NexusBytes is going to be way overkill for you.

Not that @seriesn is not a great person/family member, and you are free to support him all you want. He deserves to have customers flocking to him.

Ah fair enough. Then get one from @seriesn and run pihole in a LXC or ovz.

Massimo

decided to run it on my rpi 4

Running LXC/OVZ/Docker etc inside a KVM VM actually works well? (I haven't really played with nested virtualization)

Yeap, it does a pretty decent job.

That's @seriesn performing a number in a Bollywood musical. That was the real intention behind his post. Proxmox and OVZ7 was written just to sound 'less' cool.

Been available for a while now :')

Just to clarify, only way to actually install OVZ7 is via iso (which is essentially a hacked up Centos but what do I know?)
