I'm hosting my secondary DNS there and have had zero issues so far, though I didn't do a full reinstall.
Well, I was just testing for being prepared when I need "hosting in a hurry and cheap". Waiting till one is in need makes the need and the price bigger. It was an offer of ionos.de, 500MB Ram, 10 GB SSD, 1vCore, Linux OS. For me OK, I like to test under spare resources. What runs under spare resources, runs much better under better conditions: it is a way to select what to run. The price of ionos.de: 1 EUR/Month, bound to 1 year, but one can end the contract in the first 30 days. Probably an offer to catch customers. The answer to my question to change to "LSI Logic SAS" was: they cannot do individual adaptions, but I can take a root server from them. This answer is perfectly acceptable, as also the ugly Web Console, if one can rely in their offer of 1 Eur/month, if it is not a trap to catch customers. They are not saying me, I must take a root server from them. It is possible to boot a CD and install an own OS. It would have been wonderfull to run OpenBSD, unfortunately almost worked. Rodrigo
