  Can't you just set an image for this to "Crypto" or bunch of cryptocurrency icons or something like that? This suggest only bitcoin, no altcoins...

  I seriously consider buying something just because of the number of payments methods available

  Especially since there's Skrill among them.

  Ok, this is an amazing price. Anyone have experience with HostSailor? I see TrustPilot reviews going back many many years (mostly positive, handful of negatives sprinkled here and there) but have not heard of them myself.

  Used them many years ago. I remember some minor issues, but it was fine considering the cost.

  They are better and more established than the average LE* provider (but that's not saying much 😅).

  Still no iDeal; the most used payment method in the Netherlands.

  Bought one anyway. Didn't need it, but like I said: I'm a sucker for a good deal. And this is a good deal.

  I got one. It seems to mean it comes pre-configured with an extra swap partition on the disk.

  I may be going out on a limb here but I have edited the 1TB vSwap to show 1GB as I expect that @hostsailor does not really want to give folks 1TB drive space to allow for this in a $6/yr VM.

  P.S. Great offer
