Two things make it a caveat rather than a clean qualify. First, stock is unknown: the cart route could not price any product, and the control with an invalid pid behaved identically, so nothing about availability was established either way. Second, the plan is annual-only, so the money out of pocket is EUR 7.99 plus VAT, not EUR 0.67. The 20 IPv4 ports are allocated by hand through a ticket and 80/443 are explicitly refused, which is a harder limit than sellers that hand out a port range automatically. The public IPv6 is the strong half: any port, no request, which makes it a usable WireGuard endpoint and a usable web origin for IPv6 clients. What is not established: whether the 20 forwarded ports carry UDP, because no page read states a protocol for them; the accepted card types and any authorisation hold; whether stock exists on any plan; and whether the entity is actually trading beyond its own claim, since the Romanian trade register was not queried. Not verified: the 'trading' question for CROCKY S.R.L. A check of the Romanian ONRC register for J2024020698007 would settle it.","extras":{"shape":{"vcpu":1,"ram_gib":1,"disk_gib":10,"gpu_class":null,"gpu_count":null},"billing_model":"annual","term":"annual only on the entry plan","m10h_usd":0.75,"m24h_usd":0.75,"price_arithmetic":"EUR 7.99 a year excluding VAT / 12 = EUR 0.6658 a month, printed by the vendor as EUR 0.67.
