really wish there was one with GPU to access
More like a compute card, basically a GPU without a display output. Kinda like https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/elastic-gpus/details/ ?
Will have to read link when not driving, just wish I could have RemoteFX for Server 2016 RDSH which requires Hyper-V. I am assuming you can now roll Hyper-V on this new bare metal solution?
Must be able to.

I don't see an option to do it correctly, but they do have 2012 R2 and 2016 versions of Windows Server available. You'd have to upload the Hyper-V ISO to get it installed bare-metal like it should be.

That seems awful expensive though... $300 per month?
I'm getting roughly half the specs for $25 a month...

You don't have access to hardware though. Which is where the additional expense comes in.

What do you mean? My box is bare metal.

I wouldn't want a bare-metal server without some kind of redundant disk. That's why, with my VPS, that I went VPS instead of bare-metal (well one of the reasons). The twice as beefy bare-metal only had a single disk drive in it. No thanks.
The VPS uses RAID10 SSDs. -
@tim_g I understand but still no where close to $300.
Also, if you wanted to, you could buy 2

@aaronstuder gotcha...
I was trying to stay at the $20 mark. I did have the option of adding more physical drives and other resources too. But that increased the price.

While that company is a good value, and where I currently run my home lab from. The first of the two servers I had with them had all kinds of drive issues, even after the HDDs were replaced. Many support cases later, I ended up just moving it all to a different server. Would never trust them to run actual workloads, sadly.
