Maybe this is off-topic (delete if so) but I have received this email regarding an open technician position for their Eygelshoven DC. Just posting in case anyone nearby is interested on personally taking care of their lifetime servers :p (Image) …

(Quote) I can confirm this has also been applied to dedicated servers. Traffic reset price has increased from 9.90€ to 29.90€ though.
-
(Quote) They replaced the SSDs on one of my servers a while ago. (Due to wearout) But I don't think they will upgrade my server/CPU anytime soon. One can only hope :#
-
(Quote) I have two lifetime dedis with them, although all of them are G8 (Xeon v2) so the single threaded performance is quite bad. Not that it matters for my [low traffic] websites and services, but a new and shiny Ryzen would help a lot with badly…
-
(Quote) I went ahead and asked them to clarify their stance on lifetime servers. I insisted on asking about the ownership structure. They basically told me that I am granted "exclusive usage rights for as long as we provide the service and the …
-
(Quote) Yes, I am very tempted to get one on sale in BF but it is a substantial amount of money to put into gambling. (Because, after all, this is in best case scenario, for the lifetime of the company.) Granted, they've been around for a while, bu…

Looks like they finally released the much anticipated Ryzen servers... but those prices are steep compared to Hetzner AX lineup. (Image) They're available in lifetime form starting at 2.8k € :cry: - hopefully BF helps us this time And also come…

Moar money, 10€ voucher for the next 48 hours: NETWORK0725 I don't know if they invalidated the previous one. This one was sent within the explanation email.

Brief outage due to switch malfunction. You can redeem a 10€ voucher for the next 48 hours: sorry-for-that-egh

(Quote) -- As a side note, I just spinned up a new LXC instance and it was deployed on KVM, but still rocking a E5-2680 v4. Guess I am not lucky :(
-
(Quote) I think they did some housekeeping changes to prepare for the migration, even though their webpage still lists v2 Xeons as vCPU for selection. Regarding the DDoS protection, it has indeed changed to a different provider. They've been doing …

Good news for you guys with VPS within FFM datacenter! Newer CPU models are coming soon. Really hoping for my VPS to get migrated. Hopefully they'll send a notice beforehand. (Image)

(Quote) I have two. 2640v2 / 64GB / 500 GB SSD 2680v2 / 128GB / 2x 500 GB SSD <-- this one with extra IPv4 They have been working really well and are remarkably stable. I can't complain other than the lack of IPv6.
-
Looks like they are finally getting Ryzen chips: https://zap-hosting.com/en/blog/2025/07/amd-ryzen-9-9950x-is-coming-to-zap/ Right now only announced for game servers and VPS. Availability on lifetime services is unknown. It's interesting they ha…

Hello, just another quick update. Apart from the already announced v4 CPU models made available like a month ago: * 2630 v4 * 2640 v4 * 2650 v4 New ones have appeared: * 2667 v4 [Best single threaded score] * 2680 v4 (14 cores and 28 threads, wow…
-
(Quote) Which is misleading, considering their email explicitly implies "dedicated resources": (Image) But I guess they could always say: "You are entitled to use all your allocated resources. We are just provisioning them elsewhere…
-
(Quote) I'd say they will probably merge both. There is no real difference now, other than marketing gimmicks imo. It's not like a lot has changed anyways, their Windows and FreeBSD VPS were already using KVM, of course. So it was just a matter of …
-
(Quote) Nothing too fancy, currently sharing it with a few friends to selfhost a few apps such as Vaultwarden, Piped, Shlink... plus a few personal websites, all running Proxmox. I used to hammer the CPU doing some AV1 transcodes (it worked surprisi…
-
Doing my usual inventory check I noticed new listings with upgraded Gen 9 ProLiants featuring V4 Xeons appeared on their dedicated servers page, including: * 2630 v4 * 2640 v4 * 2650 v4 Very interesting offer, considering the 2640v4 almost doubles…
-
They just said full power restore will take from 6 to 10 hours. LTE/5G seems to work in some places.
-
They just published the timetable for Black Friday: https://zap-hosting.com/en/blog/2024/11/flash-voucher-codes-timetable-2024/ Important bits: * Lifetime VPS (LXC) > 35% off on 29 nov. at 11:01 and 20:01 * Lifetime Rootserver (KVM) > 30% o…

(Quote) These codes usually have a lifespan of one hour until they are all used up. They post it on their social media so it must run dry quick. Thanks for the ping - I will keep an eye as lifetime deals might indeed be possible. Last year coupon …
-
(Quote) I think it's me! I actually have two. They work well enough, even though the antiDDoS is more cumbersome than anything and no IPv6 is annoying. Both of them have aged SSDs which may need replacements in the near future so I will post back h…
-
(Quote) From my brief experience the disks on external drives are what they usually call "white labels", I'd say they're comparable to the normal consumer counterparts (eg WD Blue or Seagate Barracuda) but on higher capacity drives you mig…

Looks quite similar to the Sipeed Lichee 4A in specs. If anybody is curious and wants to tinker with RISC-V hardware there are cheap SBCs based on C906 (single core) for less than 50€. Search for MangoPi MQ Pro or Lichee RV Dock. For quad core var…
-
(Quote) They absolutely need to hand out at least a single /64, otherwise SLAAC won't work. What they might charge for is for a static prefix. My ISP gives me a /56 but it is dynamic.
-
Unfortunately, they don't seem to be the "best for long-term renewal savings", my .com domain with them renews at $10.37. Promotional price only applies to new domains for the first year. If you register for more than a year, only the firs…
-
(Quote) I am guessing he meant ranging from 80 to 120 EUR yearly.
-
(Quote) That discount doesn't apply to lifetime products, though. :disappointed:
-
(Quote) Yes, seems I like gambling or something. I refrained from ordering additional IPs as I don't really want to pour any more money into them so I am using a different provider to get extra IPs (but these are charged monthly) - AntiDDoS kicks in…

My two dedicated servers are also rock solid and performance has been excellent: 13:33:33 up 151 days, 14:22, 5 users, load average: 2.37, 2.32, 2.09 13:43:48 up 116 days, 3:15, 7 users, load average: 1,45, 1,50, 1,62 My only complaint is the …

(Quote) I'd say that the East coast is your best bet, yes. Here's the list of US locations ordered by ping (from my location, Spain) from lowest to highest: Ashburn: ping-ashburn.zap-hosting.com - 194.156.91.5 (AS30823) Dallas: ping-dallas.zap-host…

(Quote) Can't agree more. With just a handful of maintainers we could get a decent product that slowly evolves into a good product. I am dreaming, I know.
-
Doesn't Hetzner have dedicated vCPU plans by the hour too? These use EPYC CPUs

(Quote) A really graphical site to check out Google graveyard (with a killstreak of 286 already!) https://killedbygoogle.com/

(Quote) PVE 8 (now in beta) ships with Linux 6.2 by default. In any case, you can also install the 6.2 opt-in kernel on PVE 7. https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/opt-in-linux-6-2-kernel-for-proxmox-ve-7-x-available.124189/

(Quote) HW video encoding/decoding is a hot mess depending on the SoC manufacturer (Allwinner is probably the worst offender as they never upstream their changes on mainstream Linux)
-
(Quote) What I meant is that they may discontinue the service at any point in time (as CloudAtCost already did) with little to no repercussion.
