nice to see Finland different provider.
what about discounts?
I don't really know why, but I really like the idea of having a TierHive node in Turku, but the hardware is pretty damn good you offer (so naturally expensive) dont you have any strange odd servers you can let go a bit cheaper, like it can never be upgraded because of X or the IPMI is a pain in the ass to use or xyz reason, thats perfect for someone who does not need help to cope with it. if so, take my pennies
Strange request I know, but it's amazing how many dedi providers have "those servers" that they don't want to spend the time deracking but don't want to sell because the customer is not likely to cope because of a strange issue.... and I am the perfect customer for those
