I'd have to agree here... Another thing to consider is what the average monthly
donation totals are for the distro. Even if we went with something beefy because
"why not", my concern would be around sustaining it long term. That is, once the
large sum we have burns down, do we have enough in monthly donations to keep it
going...
I don't have insight in the accounting side of things but I would be surprised
if we total more than 500€/month on average.
Just some commentary from the peanut gallery ;)

Well, people seem to be overwhelmingly of the opinion that 500€/month is too much. In that case, I put forth the next best contender, the Hetzner AX160-NVMe at 164€/month base price. At its base configuration, it has half the memory, half the disk space and roughly half the compute power of the server I originally put forth but it's also 1/3 the price at this configuration.
Given that we'd trade it for current soyuz at 54€/month, it means we'd pay 110€/month extra.
What do you guys think about that?
