Thank you, that's exactly what I was going for!

That kind of humor and response is off putting to me as a potential customer. It gives me the impression that either this website is a bit of joke, or that it's not really meant for people like me (that don't 'get' that kind of humor). That's fine if that's what you're going for, it's up to you. But FYI you'll lose some customers over it, maybe more than you'd gain.

Can you post a link? I don't see the uplink addon on their wiki, and I'm a bit confused as to how there's no bandwidth limitation if there's a data cap (I guess they mean speed).

It's basically in all the "details" pages via the site menu > dedicated (and contrary to what I said, not limited to "enterprise"/ecc ram servers). See for example: https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/ex42-nvme Ed: i think the implication is that you can just go ahead and use 300tb/month on a 1 gbps port if you can stand doing that... But that 3 000 TB/month on a 10gbps uplink is not included ...

At the time it was a revolution, every other photo upload site was shady or slow or expensive or some combination of the above. ~10 years later and Imgur is basically a social network itself. I hate seeing an imgur link now. Photo upload doesn't seem to be something that can be offered in a way that pleases everyo…

> ~10 years later and Imgur is basically a social network itself. I hate seeing an imgur link now. Photo upload doesn't seem to be something that can be offered in a way that pleases everyone. It seems like it can start out good. But then, inevitably, some “product owner” or UX designer won’t be able to keep his or her hands off it, and will eventually ruin it with chat, social features, newsletter subscriptions, Jav…

I found the "Money" page ( https://imgz.org/money/ )'s marketing style extremely distasteful and offensive. I understand the author is trying to be cool and all, but this is too much by piling up vulgar words all over, IMO.

> Hetzner gives me 3 TB of bandwidth per month, so I expect that to last me a long time. Oh summer child... one meme going viral on reddit is going to destroy your hopes for the future...
