Looking for hosting companies that can host XCP-NG VMs
-
Dear @olivierlambert and team,
Can you recommend some companies which provide XCP-NG VM hosting services? I am interested in transferring 1-2 VDIs so that VMs can be made and then hosted on their hardware.
Thanks in advance

Hi there!
Can you give a bit more details? In terms specs needed for your VMs and so on (public IPs? how many?)

@olivierlambert I am on the final stage of migrating my infrastructure from a professional datacenter to a self-hosted setup. I have been renting servers for years and always wanted to take self-hosting for a spin, had just my hands itching to try. I have to say that using professional-grade datacenter is way better than doing things make-shift style in your residence, if not only we all had to pay server rentals month-to-month.
Yesterday I was failing miserably to make 2 mail servers to work and I was suspecting that my ISP was blocking all mail-related ports on the residential IP address pools, but apparently I was either typing with fat fingers or the weather was too hot, so I was thinking that for the mail servers I would still need to use someone's service to host my VMs. Did not want to consider doing all mail setup from scratch in a fresh VPS which are easy to rent from Hertzner, Contabo etc. This is the reason I asked about whether there are any hosters who can just take ready-made XCP-NG virtual disks and import them and bring up the VMs.
Things magically got working today and everything seems to be tip-top right now so my inquiry of yesterday is dismissed for a while.
Anyway, I am still curious to have an idea how much it may cost to host a VM with 4 cores, 8GB of memory and 120GB on NVMe storage, 2 x public IP addresses.
Thanks very much

It can be very different depending on the place, the provider, and the level of service (is the XCP-ng host managed or not? is the VM managed or not?).
