Hello, recently I have started to see the limit’s of vps’s and have been thinking about getting a hetzner dedicated server from the auction. My question is are they worth it and if so what would be the best way to make use of them.

By that I mean should I get something like proxmox on it and make use if it that way, or install a stable os like debian and have it all installed in docker making use of the pure power of the system that way?

Edit: My use case for my server vps is my main website, but I also host a lot of alternative frontend’ and some other thing like a feed reader (miniflux) and other things like that, that with time I have accumulated and if I wanted to have them all running well would either have to spend money in uograding one vps, or buy multiple smaller one’s. In both cases this could end up quite costly.

Reason I can’t do it on my own hardare is space contraint’s, part’s avalibility where I live and prices. They are high.

Edit2: If there is any other good alernartive dedicated server peovider that won’t break a bank like hetzner, please recommend them.

It’s true, links already shared by others, the thing is that I’m sure other providers would’ve done the same.

Yeah, that’s the key point. They weren’t trawling all the servers, they probably had a wiretap order for one specific server. As a legal business, you can’t just say no to police because you don’t like mitm.
