Thanks. I'll try asking them whether they could make NetBSD available. > This said, Vultr is no doubt a safer choice for NetBSD, because a number > of us have run NetBSD on Vultr with no issues. Oh certainly. I can vouch for this as well. However Hetzner's configuration for nearly same price is quite better storage: 10G vs 20G RAM: 512M vs 2G traffic: .50T vs 20T price: $2.5 vs Euro 2.49 (approx $2.79) May be there are finer differences at processor, disk level etc. but for an entry level VPS they may not be so critical for many people. > > This[2] says KVM console is on chargeable basis beyond 3 hours.

There used to be AMI image somewhere. Not sure whether they support custom ISO installation now. Anyway I am not a great fan of their pricing methods, which are very complex. Of course, now they have `lightsail' with simpler pricing, but its prices are on the higher side as compared to the providers we are discussing here. Mayuresh
