RE: Zero to Witness: Part 1: We need a big computer!
A few days ago I came across this information. If I understand it correctly, Hetzner no longer allows Witness nodes.

Wow! That could certainly have repercussions. Will monitor this closely, thanks for the heads-up.
As soon as I read your comment, I was expecting this to be related to cloud VMs only, not dedicated boxes. In fact they mention only colocation as an exemption :/
This could leave quite a dent in the crypto hosting space.
Whichever provider I'm using, I always stay away from any provider-specific extensions (backup systems, etc) so that it's as easy as possible to migrate to a different host.
Everything I'm doing here in Zero to Witness should work exactly the same on an Ubuntu 20.04 host with another provider.
Might be time to look at a few more hosts...
Yes, I was not happy about this information either. A provider where it is allowed would be contabo.com, for example - as far as I know.
Here at least is written:
A bit more expensive, as far as this configuration is sufficient.
I had a Contabo-VPS for about a year and also had contact with the support, not the fastest, but competent and always solved my requests.
Let's discuss over here :)
I hadn't heard of Contabo, thanks - will check them out
Contabo.com provide us cheap vps
