@kohan Thank you for the comment and the links!
The choice of Hetzner stems from having another not too expensive provider (at least for the initial part) on a platform where I already have some other servers. I don't exclude the possibility of moving to another European provider in the future (due to GDPR regulations, it's easier for me to stay in Europe).
However, I always want to use bare metal servers; I don't want to rely on shared 'cloud' storage for data.
Do you have any suggestions regarding this?

@stefano Unfortunately I don't have a good alternative suggestion! Bare metal is definitely wise and staying in Europe certainly makes sense for regulations, but I don't actually know who I could recommend. (I even see malicious traffic here coming from OVH.) Your knowledge will be way ahead of me on technical hosting details.

Ugh, sorry for bringing you a problem without bringing a solution! I need to do more research myself.

But I love to see more BSD being used, yay!

@kohan Don't worry, I'm glad to read your observations about it. Some of the events described in the links you sent me were not known to me, and I would like to understand the philosophy of each provider I deal with well. Thank you!
