Sounds more like a Hetzner VM hoster 
, will you host on Hetzner? if yes i do not vote…
Wihtout confirmation that the HW will meet the spec found on page 3/4 of the https://xx.network/beta-node-handbook-v1.5.pdf I cannot support this application.
it is very doubtful all
Incomplete application form, not very promising. Note also that CPU-only nodes running in over-represented datacenters (such as Hetzner) are now being disabled and asked to make changes to continue operating, see here.
Does not have my vote.
