That honestly doesn't sound too bad... We could use the extra resources to host a few more VMs going forward - and the extra disk space could perhaps be used to host archival builds from haiku-files.org so we can reduce our footprint on that service. Our cashflow is pretty solid these days - so an extra 120EUR/year shouldn't be a big deal. If it offers us some headroom, that's a bonus. I vote we setup a new server and start migrating to it. Do we think it would be best to just shutdown for a few hours and do a full migration? Or should we setup the new server and migrate VMs to it one at a time? >> To note, it we ever exceed 10TB in a month, we would need to pay €7 >> EUR (incl.

Last I checked on hetzner's site, we're nowhere near this "danger zone" yet... unless I looked at the stats wrong. I'm a bit concerned about the additional need for IPv4 addresses - as that's going to start incurring additional costs moving forward. - Urias
