- zython 8y agoAlso hetzner cloud I dont know about the cores that hetzner provides and how they compare to the competitors, but ~3$ for a somewhat usable VPS is damn competetive (not affiliated with hetzner in any way, other than I have one of those 3$ instances)
- subbz 8y ago+1 for Hetzner! They're great!
- afandian 8y agoI'm currently using Hetzner Cloud in production. Not for user-facing services, but background data churning. Very happy with the service so far, and it has a Terraform plugin, which makes it convenient to use. I think the feature-set and cost are in proportion, if you see what I mean. Compared to AWS EC2 its a great value proposition. Interestingly, they recently announced a 'dedicated vCPU' option for about 10x the price. Top option is €269 vs €29, 32 GB vs 128 GB RAM. But I'v found the performance of the default product to be perfectly good for my needs. The major shortfall with Hetnzer I have found is that the storage isn't scalable. You get what you get. You can choose SSD RAID or Ceph, but you still get the same allowance. I'd love to hear from anyone else using it. Edit: not Hetzner's traditional servers. I've used those too, and they're great value for money if you get them through their server bidding offering.
- foepys 8y agoI'm a Hetzner customer, too, but I'm quite sad that Hetzner doesn't really allow DNS configuration via a centralized REST(-like) API. You can configure DNS via an email interface but there are no officially supported libraries available and it's very clunky [1]. You effectively have to roll your own DNS servers or chose another DNS provider if you want to manage a lot of servers dynamically. 1: https://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/E-Mail-Schnittstelle_Domain_Registration_Robot/en https://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/E-Mail-Schnittstelle_Domai...
- afandian 8y agoThe feature I would really like is some kind of virtual networking. Even a basic VPC would be welcome, with access rules and a virtual address space. It wouldn't have to be as comprehensive as AWS. Then again, it's cheap.
- hs86 8y agoIs use their CX21 (4GB RAM, 40GB NVMe/Ceph) offering for 4.90€ + VAT as a personal VPS and it makes running a little FreeBSD instance with ZFS and self-compiled ports affordable for a student.
- Elect2 8y agoThe first section explained what kind of VPS were collected. Vultr sometimes charge estimated monthly costs (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13073048 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13073048 ) , so it was not listed.
- vader1 8y agoI've been using Vultr for years and they've never charged me more than my monthly usage. A n=1 report from two years ago doesn't seem like a great reason to leave them out; I'm sure you can find complaints about every other provider's billing as well.
- Elect2 8y agoI was charged that way in March this year. Then I googled and found that they do such thing often.
- stef25 8y ago> OVH Never again. Control panel is awful, closing your account requires jumping through all kinds of hoops (emailing a scan of your passport, really?). I still haven't succeeded.
- pnutjam 8y agoNobody using time4vps? Their storage server pricing is amazing.
