Better the devil you know ... The relation with your box provider is very important and I fully understand that's a key choice. You don't choose your server only based on price and technical specs.

I pointed out Kimsufi (OVH) boxes for their low cost because they allow to split services between hosts instead of having all in a big expensive server. Smaller boxes with dedicated CPU and unlimited bandwidth. For example one for forums, one for wiki, etc. Maybe it's an option you didn't consider for pricing reason. > The cpu is weaker (e3-1270v3 vs e3-1240v3), 100Mhz[1] :) I'm feeling that you (and probably Pierre too) are more confident with Hetzner service. Remember that Online.net has a challenging offer which may interest you if we want diversify or we need a real unlimited bandwidth, which come with higher storage (like backup or ...). > we'd get HW raid (which > is probably more trouble than it's worth with a 2 disk system) and the > choice between 600gb 10k sas, 120gb ssd or 3tb sata disks. I share your feeling with the HW RAID, but you could request to disabling it and use the raid card as an HBA. What I do on this box.
