The latency is not the greates there either, which can in some games and network protocols be quite crucial - i have no idea how important that is to FG though.
however, if there is a server floating around which merely needs co-locating, hetzner does that too, and then all services seem a lot better - e.g. ip addresses are no longer bound to a mac address, ordering multiple ip addresses do not require an additional charge of 15 EUR / month for something called "Flexi-Pack" (that is the most rediculous thing i have ever heard of with regards to hosting plans). if you can weigh out what is needed currently and what could be needed in the next, say 3 to 5 years and you believe it will patch a hetzner plan (by the way you can cancle contracts there on a monthly basis), then i can support the move. greets Nathanael ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
