    Sorry about that! While we had the Dedispec GPU servers listed, our spider system didn't correctly detect the presence of a GPU, so it didn't show up as such. It has now been resol…

    Happy to report the sliders are now keyboard accessible! :) Turns out keyboard support was only introduced 10 days ago: https://github.com/leongersen/noUiSlider/issues/724#issuecom…

    Happy to report we have added a "Hybrid" product type, which is a virtual server with dedicated resources (VDS): https://www.serverhunter.com/?search=99A-37F-5BB You'll see that wh…

    I understand what you're saying, but for the vast majority of people, just knowing whether it has IPv6 available or not is enough information. We do have to strike the right balanc…

    We will change the URL structure in the future, but it'll be backwards compatible - old URLs will continue functioning forever. :)

    You're welcome! We'd like to revamp the storage filters entirely, but I'll see whether I can squeeze in another slider for the time being. :)

    We already feature Hetzner, including their server auctions: https://www.serverhunter.com/?search=F61-1A4-E7D :)

    No problem! You can already do this using the Provider name field, just use a negative sign, e.g. "-Foo -Bar". Example: https://www.serverhunter.com/?search=1A6-C01-E8D :)

    I'm not sure how much we've needed , but so far we've had no issues with 4 and 8 GB. Upgrading that soon though, just in case. :)

    Looks good! I'll see if I can squeeze some of this information in. :)

    Just got a reply (within 1 minute!): "I'm afraid this isn't something we offer any more - In order to install windows, you will need to provide your own ISO with VirtIO drivers inc…

    We'll do our best! If you have any specific feedback, let me know and I'll look into it. :)

    The VMHaus offers were actually added by the provider themselves in August 2018, they specifically selected Windows to be available. On June 2017 they wrote: "Custom ISO - Use our …

    That's a good idea, I'll check it out. Thanks! :)

    Yes, it's safe to assume every VPS has shared cores. I think we'll either add a "Hybrid/VDS" product type or a "Dedicated resources" feature in the near future. :)

    I have Elasticsearch running on our development area with just 256 MB of RAM assigned. In production it's quite a bit more, but fortunately, we used Server Hunter to find some grea…

    Sure, at the moment it's just LAMP with Elasticsearch to speed things up. We also have a list of all the libraries and services we use here: https://www.serverhunter.com/licenses/ …

    The search ID is indeed unique, it's a reference to our database which stores your filters, sort order, and column selections. We might replace it with something that doesn't requi…

    You'd always want some kind of RAID mirroring with off-site backups, regardless of HDD vs SSD. If you take care of that, you can safely go with SSD. :)

    Not yet! We've actually switched stacks and rewritten the backend a few times already, which might make for a great future story. I'll try to make some time after our upcoming serv…

    Since IPv4 space is starting to become a significant cost, they make up a large percentage of the price for the cheapest VPSs. This is why some providers have started offering NAT …
