They were a revision of the first gen Raspberry Pi. A bit more stable and seemed to not corrupt the root filesystem after a few hours, which the initial one seemed to invariably do for me.

They're not offering it any more, no.

I moved to self-hosting after that. Even got a static IP address for it.

I find static IP a bit overpriced when you can easily build your own dynamic IP solver with a few instances with static IPs that you need anyway to get low latency around the globe, also most home IPSes block ports 25 and 53 so if you want mail and dns you still need additional boxes.

I'm using google (bad I know but they are the best currently) as my main 3 continent provider (my own HTTP with JSON db, SMTP and DNS implemented from scratch) and I have redundancy in asia on AWS and in central US with IONOS, that way I have the cheapest double redundant cloud you can get with the most customers in low latency reach!
