I am looking to run a few root servers and my ideal was going to be Netcup's RS units cause they have a good rep and EU & US choices aren't bad. However, Netcup isn't currently offering them in Manassas VA (US), which was a requirement for me to kick-start it.

My project is already into the final line, and this was a bit of a bombshell, so I have to figure out who else offers near equivalents for the same thing.

One thing that is key is backup and their Snapshots (Copy-On-Write) were a big deal for me as I am dealing with 3rd party data.

Who else can offer the same in both EU/US with the same storage options and so on?

Appreciated

Edit*

I checked with OVH and at the moment, they only have Canada for options. US is sold out. Feels weirdly wrong. Netcup don't have a timeline for US updates.
