Hello,

a few days ago I got a nice little mail from ionos where I run some VPSs that due to WebPros International GmbH massively hiking their prices they have no other option but to transfer down these price hikes.

Since that would mean a 5-fold price increase for my contracts, I am looking for other hosting providers. The service I need the most is just some super small VPS with a static IP to tunnel all my dynDNS-traffic through so that I can have a static IP linked to my domain and the sorts. Currently I am paying 1EUR per month.

I know that my question probably super basic and that I could just move to any other provider. I just wanted to ask if any of you could (dis-)recommend any providers due to positive or negative experiences?

many thanks in advace and have a pleasant thursday!

    I tried OVH, prices seemed great… up until they asked me to verify my info with a picture of a government issued ID.

    What the fuck.

      really? I never had to do that. They’ve left me alone since I originally signed up with them.

        Maybe based on location? idk. It said from the start “after we verify your info”, I didn’t realize they literally wanted pics. I kinda stopped after that, but there seems to be no way to cancel the order, so I’m just letting it sit until it expires.

          I know when I tried to sign up with Herztwhatever, the other popular European one, they wanted my ID and I said no way. but yeah OVH has never once asked for mine.
