[3/3] I haven't really been expecting this, I planned to just move to Ubuntu 22.04 now on the old VPS and maybe experiment with Netcup later, but given that there's such a massive difference in speed (esp. disk) vs. CoinHost/Solarcom, plus more cores and RAM and way more disk space for less money… I've decided to move at least my Bluesky stuff there ASAP, and maybe everything else a bit later.
@mackuba Oh, this is very interesting data, thank you for compiling and sharing it!
I recently ordered netcup's "VPS 500 G10s" for 6€/mo in order to host my own fedi-instance + website and this reaffirms my own impression: That this VPS is pretty damn fast.
I used to be a customer at Contabo in previous years but performance always felt sluggish there.
Also one thing I should've checked earlier - it looks like Elastic Search by default eats multiple GBs of memory even if you have less than 100 MB of data to store, and my old instance was choking a bit on RAM b/c of this, the new one is doing way less I/O and swapping now. (It can be configured apparently.)
I looked at Contabo too because someone recommended it, but I saw some bad reviews, looks like I dodged a bullet 😄
