OpenBSD 7.5 is almost there!!

25 new VMs were added and 32 VMs were renewed.

We donated €730 to the Foundation, €38595 since we started.

Thank you, our users, and OpenBSD developers for an awesome OS!

Stay safe & healthy!

@OpenBSDAms Are you guys planning on adding a cheaper plan?

@ahwx that is not really in the plan at the moment. How much cheaper would it need to be?

@OpenBSDAms I currently have this plan at OVHcloud, I do see that that's not realistic for you guys, but something that might be comparable might be nice. I only use my VPS as a reverse proxy and VPN server, so I don't need tons of CPU/RAM, just somewhat fast bandwidth...

@ahwx if you peel that union it's only a euro more expensive, 3,50 vs 4,50 euro, not counting the donation nor the first month price.

It's not possible to compete with companies like OVH on price, it would mean OpenBSD Amsterdam wouldn't be able to exist.

@OpenBSDAms First year* - it's 12 euros for the full first year :)

I agree, but I also think it could be nice to have a 512MB option to rent out.

@ahwx when we started the base VM has indeed 512MB, but since we have enough memory in each machine you get 512MB for free. Different way of calculating. :)

@OpenBSDAms but you kinda also pay for it :p

I think we won't really meet each other here, and I'll probably move my VPS over once I have a little more money :)

@ahwx we can always throw in a couple of months discount if that will sweeten the deal. :)

@ahwx keep in mind that the price for the first year is actually (67 - 10) / 12 = 4,75 per month, due to the donation we do.
And for a renewal (67 - 15) / 12 = 4,33 per month.
