Hi, Since September 2016 I've been sponsoring a rendering server for OSM tiles called `vial` out of personal finance. It is set up on Hetzner. This month Belarus tax regulations changed, and Hetzner starts charging 20% more from Belarus residents.
If somebody is willing to take the flag of sponsoring this machine, drop me a line and I'll transfer server to your account. I'll stop it in July otherwise. Monthly fee is 144.2 EUR now. If you're willing to set up another server (cheaper or on bigger hardware) side by side, have a look at Hetzner's Server Bidding - you can find similar machines, without setup fee. Try getting smaller machine with SSD+HDD and setting SSD as caching device for HDD - it's going to get better performance than current Vial's setup (which spends lots of time waiting for HDD). More on how to provide a server for OSM: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Servers/Tile_CDN Thanks.
