OSUOSL is not a hoster with a price list, the idea is to discuss with them
what best matches their expectations and our expectations.  In any case,
the question is more "do we want to keep working with them and how" rather
than just a question of price.  They provide a much more personalized and
responsive support service than Hetzner or OVH.

As I said before, the setup evolved a few times, so we are not running on
the same hardware since 2018.  That being said, the hardware is indeed a
bit old, and OSUOSL has offered to setup newer hardware for us as part of
the migration.
