Nice to meet you. Generally speaking I think that a VM with a sufficient CPU and 4GB of RAM is not going to be cheaper, especially not in Switzerland. Also, VMs dont usually come with an IX port, so that's another thing I would miss out. Last but not least, I prefer to run stuff on owned/real hardware.
An APU2 seems perfect for my needs without breaking my budget. Got two offers so far which are promising, so just waiting a bit longer to collect some potential further offers. Thank you anyways for your suggestions!
