I've been looking to get myself a VPS. It's my first time, too.
A friend of mine recommended Hetzner to me, so I signed up for them, twice, but was rejected due to "some concerns with the information".
So I'm looking for alternatives now. I stumbled upon Ionos but I saw a ton of negative Reddit posts, which is giving me doubt.
Update 1: I found https://lemmy.ml/post/19647638 - some positive feedback about Ionos, but the more opinions the better
Update 2: I proceeded with purchasing one anyway, and the experience has been smooth so far, so that's nice. But it's only been a couple hours since purchase so we'll wait and see.
My reddit username is tied to multiple embarassing things I did when I was a lot more immature, during my early 10s, and now that I'm in my late 10s, I'd rather not have my embarassing 2018 things affect my 2025 things.
