Ugh... It looks like #ovh no longer offers its cheapest line of #vps  -- like I use to host my fediverse instance --  which makes me wonder for how much longer they'll let me rent one...

I'm currently paying 4.20€/mo  (inc. taxes) for a 1vcpu/2 GiB RAM/ 20 GiB storage/100Mbps bandwith instance. Their new line-up starts at 6.62€/mo for 4 vcpus/8 GiB/75 GiB/400Mbps, so on paper it's 300% more resources for 57% more money; not a bad deal.
And I guess it is, if you use up the extra resources. But if you don't, you're just paying more for bigger numbers on a dashboard...

@fred hetzner still has some cheaper stuff in their cloud line.

@opennomad yeah, they do, but they're due to raise prices on these by > 25% in less than a month, sadly.

@fred sigh. I suspect this is going to happen everywhere.

@opennomad yeah. I suspect OVH cutting their lower end offering is part of the same trend. And I seriously doubt this will be the end of it either :(
