You find a very cheap yearly server. The deal looks good. Then something stops working the way you expected. For some people the problem is email: the mail bounces or goes to spam. For others the IP cannot be reached from China. For others the node feels slow after a few weeks, or there are…
Hetzner can hold a new order for a passport or a card prepayment. The cheap CX23 plan is Europe-only. Ashburn does not sell it.
The cheap Netcup plan only helps if you can still order it. An old G12 contract keeps the old price. A new order is G12.5, and sold-out plans need a different host.
