mind sharing what you found in your search losing your sanity? :D

https://contabo.com/en/ Has been good for my mess around and hobby stuff

Contabo does have some steal factor involved, unfortunately and their support times aren't great though many people have quite differing and polarizing experience about them or so I have heard as I haven't really tried them personally.

But its good that contabo is able to be working for ya, They are quite price competitive and the issue with them as said prior really isn't their price so much as though all the other things.

So I am happy for you that it works out for you in the end! :-D

Wow they made something free that I’ve used for 30+ years and have never paid for in my life. Amazing, what an accomplishment! What Herculean effort it must have taken! What the hell am I missing here?

A lot of providers have basic DNS for free but charge for more sophisticated uses like geo routing. AWS charges for every single thing: https://aws.amazon.com/route53/pricing/

I refuse to use Cloudflare for two reasons:

1) It’s free until it’s not and they don’t tell you where that limit is.

2) If something goes wrong you cannot contact anyone unless you have an enterprise agreement. Just paying them money is not enough to be able to speak to a person. I had serious issues with R2 and had no-one to contact. They have a Discord and you see people posting the same issues over and over again that never get fixed.

Just looked at their website, they don't do many loss leaders as others, for example others offer free static site hosting. But they are a private company with only one small $6m funding round back in 2022, so I think they are more focused on building organically and not chasing investor funded growth. Good luck to Bunny!

They also have prepaid plans so that you have no risk of runaway metered costs

Too bad, because it basically said they only use necessary cookies. I suppose you'd have complained if there were no cookie banner as well? I mean, that cookie popup saying there's no need for a cookie popup is probably there because someone complained there's no cookie popup...

The "Appreciate it" / "cool carry on" Is exactly the sort of confusing non choice options cookie banners give. Along the lines of "Accept all" / "more information" Then I'll retract my claim but it is bad UX to make a popup on the landing page that looks like an evil cookie banner.

I must agree the text on the buttons confused me too, but considering the article title and the first few comments I stopped and read the pop-up text.

I’m in the habit of going interesting title -> skim a few comments -> then decide whether I should click on the article

My point was to correct one claim in your previous comment.

It's not an accurate correction. It's prepaid with an ability to incur a small amount of negative balance, partly for protection against downtime or data loss and partly so the systems can have some time to shut off (it would be hard to suspend service immediately across all services). However it is purely prepaid in that they don't provide a postpaid option.

So it's not prepaid?

It's not not purely prepaid. It is purely prepaid through I might favor another way of saying it that specifically says that they don't offer any services on a postpaid basis. But even if you define purely prepaid differently from me, it doesn't work so well as a correction because the comment being replied to didn't use the term "purely prepaid" or something highly similar.

Hello Joe. How does the USD1 minimum works? Say I have setup a pull zone and i don't use it for over a month, I get charged anyway? Thanks.

Yes. You‘re getting charged. But a dollar for your entire bunny account (not for every service or domain) is not that much to ask for.

When the comparison is literally every other cloud provider who all charge by usage only, then anything more than $0.00 is in my opinion too much to ask for.

I’ve been using cloud services in one way or another from different providers (including EU based like Hetzner) and never seen this before. It’s always been pay for what you use and nothing more, which is kind of the whole pitch of cloud services.

In their defence, nobody can implement auto-detecting domains well, because there's no way to efficiently enumerate DNS records. (Excluding NSEC-style enumeration, which is not always available.)

I feel like I'm missing something, AXFR?

Almost no mainstream existing provider you’re migrating from would support AXFR from Bunny’s servers. But yes, AXFR would be the ideal solution in a perfect world.

They are vastly cheaper even than their actual competition in the US like Digital Ocean. edit: Actually I had completely missed the most recent price update. I made this comment referring to April 1st pricing. I did not receive a communication about the June 15th update, because it did not apply to existing resources. This gives the breakdown: https://docs.hetzner.com/general/infrastructure-and-availabi... I have two…

Not sure. They were cheaper than DigitalOcean, to the point where 1 DO instance cost would give you 3 on Hetzner, but now they're at parity, and DO seems to have a better product.

The vps performance is not comparable to a dedicated server. Same cpu’s still means twice as slow. Also hetzner alllows for much larger servers in terms of memory at still a fraction of do pricing
