It all started with my own Minecraft Server and an an offer on V-Servers at my Hoster at the time. Started to learn what SSH is, how to install Java and run my own Minecraft Server. And now I am running my Homelab on Kubernetes and do it for work. Life is funny
I bought a Server a few years back via the auction. It was perfectly fine, just a Server and at the time at a lower than normal rate.
Currently the servers never reach the prices I would consider buying at, but maybe if someone was lucky there might be a bargin from time to time.
Ultimatly I cancled the server and moved to the Hetzner’s cloud servers as they are cheaper for my use case.
As for Hetzner itself, I am very satisfied with them
