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.

I've been using Ionos for things for like 10 years now. I've had a medium VPS running for a couple years and just spun up an XS last night. No issues!
