Thanks for looking in to the Jonathan, that's really useful. I've been using Hetzner for hosting data.guix.gnu.org for at least the last few months now. I've been paying for it so far, but ideally it wouldn't depend on me personally paying for it in the long term. Coupled with this, I think there are some services (hpc.guix.info, ...) it would be nice to move off bayfront (a machine in Bordeaux) to somewhere that's more reliable/remotely accessible, mostly to avoid the risk of me breaking them again when attempting to reconfigure bayfront. Maybe Guix Europe (a legal entity in Europe) could have a Hetzner account that could be used at the discretion of those involved in Guix Europe? I think Hetzner support billing by SEPA direct debit, which might work, otherwise I can probably pay the bill and then be reimbursed. Thanks again for following up talking to Hetzner Jonathan!
