Hello, recently I have started to see the limit’s of vps’s and have been thinking about getting a hetzner dedicated server from the auction. My question is are they worth it and if so what would be the best way to make use of them.
By that I mean should I get something like proxmox on it and make use if it that way, or install a stable os like debian and have it all installed in docker making use of the pure power of the system that way?
Edit: My use case for my server vps is my main website, but I also host a lot of alternative frontend’ and some other thing like a feed reader (miniflux) and other things like that, that with time I have accumulated and if I wanted to have them all running well would either have to spend money in uograding one vps, or buy multiple smaller one’s. In both cases this could end up quite costly.
Reason I can’t do it on my own hardare is space contraint’s, part’s avalibility where I live and prices. They are high.
Edit2: If there is any other good alernartive dedicated server peovider that won’t break a bank like hetzner, please recommend them.
I have moved over to inhouse hosting, but I exclusively used hetzner for years, a lot of it via the auction.
If you don’t need something very specific, the auction is a great way to spin up something cheaply.
My main reason for hetzner is the cheapness of it, but have been reading a bit about hetzner and have seen some people have networking issues with them.
So I have decided to do a bit of searching around to see if there is any other good dedicated server provider to use that won’t break a bank.
But at the end I will most likelly get a hetzner auction server and see if there are any issues.
I use OVH for my dedi, they often have sales on -> https://eco.ovhcloud.com/en-gb/
You’ll probably be fine with hetzner. If not, you can cancel whenever.
have seen some people have networking issues with them.
I’ve been a happy customer for hetzner for almost a decade and I haven’t had any issues with their networking. If you’re running virtualization you need to take care of you MAC addresses or they won’t allow traffic and eventually will kick you off from their platform (and they have a good reason to do so). As long as you play by their rules on their hardware it’s rock solid, specially for the price.
