Cheesy thank you for Slovakia i have 2 UNO nodes always online

Hey! What is your node setup? Open port in standard client on 2 different PC's?

Does it benefit the network any more if 1 person runs 2 nodes instead of 1? (Other than making our node count look more appealing and representing your country)

Thanks for the info.

Now we know sa1phx is running the 2 Orange Slovensko nodes (Slovak ISP), I wonder if the Hetzner, Secured Servers, Staminus & OVH SAS nodes are run by only 1 individual each. It seems that some of the companies listed are ISP's & others are hosting companies (I'm learning about this stuff for the first time). Does anyone know why somebody would run a node through a hosting company instead of their own connection? The connection with the most nodes (4) is Hetzner, which offers servers for 83 Euro per month. So I guess that could be one person who uses a host server for other purposes & decided to run multiple UNO nodes through it because they had additional storage space?
Pardon my technical ignorance, but what is involved in running a node?

It is simply running unobtaniumd (fully synced) and with the correct ports open on your router so other peers can discover you.
