The part that I like the best about this one is that it gives you 1TB of transfer. Why? Overkill, no?

I think you'd still be better off going with Digital Ocean or something comparable. Probably performs about the same for a lower price.

Digital Ocean don't rent out Raspberry Pi or provide IPv6-only connectivity, so it's quite a different kettle of fish

True, DO has no Pis. Why does it have to be a Pi, though? With the 1TB of bandwidth and the focus on IPv6, I'd think it would be geared towards networking, so that makes the machine irrelevant.

DO does, rent out decent machines that have IPv6 connections. At that point you can just turn off the IPv4 interface. Done.

Mythic Beasts ran raspberrypi.org for a while on the RPi3 [0] and also host the RPi site. The price is pretty competitive (AUD96.40) compared to Czech [1] and Au hosting. [2] It's not only cost that would tempt me, it's the ISPs specialist knowledge of RPi.
