House rule 02 — name the hardware
The box. In public.
Every host says "powerful hardware." Below is ours — real command output, straight off the production machine in Montreal, commands shown so you know exactly what was asked. Nothing prettied up. Including the ugly line.

root@bhs1:~$ lscpu | grep "Model name" ; nproc
Model name: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X 16-Core Processor BIOS Model name: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X 16-Core Processor Unknown CPU @ 4.3GHz 32
The chip, named. And yes — the BIOS prints a confusing "4.3GHz" placeholder string. Real boost is 5.75GHz. We left the ugly line in, because that's the deal.
root@bhs1:~$ free -h
total used free Mem: 125Gi 5.1Gi 92Gi
The memory. 128 GB physical. Your plan's RAM is carved out of this — and the box is deliberately kept far from full. That's what "never oversold" looks like in a number.
root@bhs1:~$ docker inspect <server> --format '{{.HostConfig.Memory}}'
Memory limit: 12884901888 bytes (= 12 GiB, to the byte) CPU limit: 4000000000 nano-cpus (= 4 cores)
The cap is real. A 12 GB plan's container, inspected. The limit isn't a marketing number — it's enforced by the kernel, and you can ask us to run this on yours.
Want any of this re-run while you watch? Ask. Live, screen-recorded or screenshotted with a fresh timestamp — before you've paid us a cent. This page becomes a live auto-updating dashboard soon; until then it's re-captured and re-stamped regularly.
