New New New New New New York Server
SSDNodes is having another one of their sales. I have a small server with them and though I don't use it heavily it basically behaves itself. Only problem is its disk space is a bit limited (though larger than my Vultr dev system) and it's tricky to enable ZFS since they don't allow custom installs (which Vultr do).
Their current sale offers both reduced prices and extra storage, so I grabbed the largest node they had on offer. 12 cores, 48GB RAM, 720 GB of NVMe SSD, daily backups. Since I had some account credit with them and prepaid for a year, the monthly price worked out too good to turn down.

That's where mee.ms will live to start with. It's in Dallas, so it should be a very short ping from the mee.nu server. Let's see... 452µs. Yeah, that will probably do.*
Host CPU looks like a dual Xeon Silver 4214 which maxes out at 3.2GHz, so it will definitely be slower than a dedicated system with a Ryzen or Xeon W processor, but again, for the price, it's just fine.
* Oh, right. I was checking up to see what people have been saying about SSDNodes, and I saw from some network speed tests that they are using colo facilities with the same company that bought out the provider hosting mee.nu a couple of years back. Which means that the two servers aren't merely both in Dallas, not just both in the same datacenter, but on the same network within that datacenter. Neat. I can use that.

I had the bad luck to switch to SSDNodes during the approximately three days since I made the purchase in which they weren't running a huge sale.

Heh. Their pricing is still pretty good on those rare occasions.
