They're not quite comparable, the Hetzner equivalent to that would be the CCX41 plus some extra storage for around $200/month (but you get 11 TB extra transfer). In general I think DigitalOcean VPS's are 1-3x the price of Hetzner ones.
I don't know why Hetzner dedicated servers are so cheap (they're also cheaper than their equivalent VPS's). I guess they take a bit longer to set up but there must be more to it than that.
- snuxoll 6y agoA dedicated server is a one month commitment, possibly with a setup fee, Hetzner also charges to do things like replace failed drives. You also don’t get the benefits of a virtualized instance like live migration for host maintenance. You can run your own hypervisor - but you’ll probably want extra hardware like 10Gb switches and the appropriate cross connects and as well as paying the one-time server move fee.
- bondant 6y ago>Hetzner also charges to do things like replace failed drives Are you sure? If I look at the AX dedicated server page, I can read that the basic support is free: "Basic support includes the free replacement of defective hardware and the renewed loading of the basic system (in so far as a disk image system can be loaded)."
- snuxoll 6y agoThey’ll replace the drive for free - but likely with another used disk with quite some hours of runtime under its belt. If you want a new disk you need to pony up most of the time.
