Also netcup has really good deals during the winter holidays
I think I get those emails twice a year. And it's usually same price and double storage for the VPSes. Can recommend netcup.de as well. They used to be a bit cheaper than today, but I guess every hoster increased price within the last year.
The RAM and Storage costs have skyrocketed due to AI. My home server is running 64GB because I just happened to have a kit laying around from an old project.
Yes. I've been somewhat lucky as well. Upgraded my homeserver to 48GB to run a few virtual machines and maxed out my old laptop well before prices skyrocketed. Got to check if I still pay the ~8€ a month for my netcup VPS or if they increased price for existing customers as well...
