If you are scared off by the €80 setup on a server that costs €200 a month, it seems like the setup fee did its intended job no?

Most providers do for dedicated servers, or make you agree to a fixed term. I don't believe they do the same for VPS / Cloud servers.

		> I don't believe they do the same for VPS / Cloud servers. Because its backed into the price. If you run a VPS for a month, you get the listed monthly price. But if you run a VPS for a shorter time, the hourly billing price is a lot more expensive. The ironic part being, that your better off keeping a VPS active until the end of your month periode (if you already crossed 2/3), then its is to cancel early. Noticed that few people realize that the hourly price != the monthly price.

I don't think that negates the point I was making. Most don't, for example none of the providers on https://www.serversearcher.com/ seem to charge setup.
