The sale page prices Starter at EUR 3.95 a month with 10 TB and DDR4. The order page for the same SKU is titled 'fur dauerhaft 3.95EUR' (permanently 3.95) but its own order summary computes 'Verlangerungsbetrag (30 Tage) 5,99 EUR' and 'Heute fallig 5,99 EUR', lists '1 TB Traffic' rather than 10 TB, and on the neighbouring Small SKU prints 'DDR3' where the sale page prints 'DDR4'. The script's basePrice is 3.95, so the 5.99 is not a base price plus an add-on the buyer chose. This is the DediRock pattern with an extra twist: the page and the cart disagree while both claim the same price. EUR 3.95 = USD 4.42 and EUR 5.99 = USD 6.71 at the ECB rate, so which one is real decides whether this row is under the line. I am not picking one. The only honest statement is that the cart charges EUR 5.99 today and the page advertises EUR 3.95, and a buyer meets the cart. Worst case exposure is 5.99 / 3.95 = 1.52x inside the same session, before any renewal question.","extras":{"shape":{"vcpu":2,"ram_gib":8,"disk_gib":50,"gpu_class":null,"gpu_count":null},"billing_model":"prepaid, 30-day periods","term":"30 days ('Laufzeit 30 Tage')","m10h_usd":6.71,"m24h_usd":6.71,"price_arithmetic":"The cart's 'Heute fallig' and 'Verlangerungsbetrag (30 Tage)' are both EUR 5.99. x 1.1193 (ECB reference, 2026-10-23) = USD 6.71.
