Still using Servarica, or did you find a more suitable hosting service?

I'm still with Servarica. It's hard to beat 32 GB RAM, 8 cores, 1 TB NVMe, 2 TB SAN and unlimited bandwidth at $220 per year paid with Bitcoin.

I picked the same RAM and CPU options, but I wasn't able to find a hybrid disk option when I signed up so I went with 2TB of NVMe disk space.  But yes, agreed, the price for these options is unbeatable from what I've seen.

Which server is that? i.e V3 KVM Slices, V2 KVM Slim Slice, V2 KVM Fat Slice, etc...

I was thinking about getting their new V3 KVM Slices since they say it has "320% more performance per $ compared to last offer (V2)", but I can only see 32 RAM / 32 cores / 960 GB NVME (and for $34/month).

It was the 2024 Unified Slim Play (8x), which is no longer available.

I've seen that one, it's their response to high RAM prices. So basically, CPU cores are now cheaper to add than RAM. But, considering my experience with "dedicated" cores, I doubt they're really dedicated. Overselling just makes more sense, that's why I only see occasional CPU steal (but when it happens, it's a lot). On the other hand, I only occassionally use the majority of my cores. So Your Milage May Vary, so to speak.

It literally says "We don’t advertise — we grow through your referrals." Should I start posting my referral here? I don't want it to look like I'm promoting them for money.
