I've had a the smallest cloud instance for a few years now, it is in fact really good and fast. 1vcpu with 2GB ram is plenty for a full stack web application + a database. IO is also very good with stable ~8000 iops write performance for 4k sync. Compared to Azure VM instances, Hetzner offers like 100x more performance for each $ spent.

Interestingly, I have used racknerd.com from lowendbox.com deals and it works quite nicely for me. No hiccups. They undercut linode/vultr guys like many other leb providers so you should try them as well. Leb has good deals for ultra low cost vps

  Same, but there is some shady history with LEB to be aware of. Undeniable value though.

      It appears ColoCrossing created dozens of VPS "companies" that they pumped through LEB, sold plans, and then shut down without refunds. LEB may be/have been owned by or share common ownership with ColoCrossing. https://www.hostscore.net/news/20-vps-hosts-shuts-down-on-dec-2019/ https://www.hostscore.net/news/20-vps-hosts-shuts-down-on-de... https://hostedtalk.net/t/colocrossing-chicagovps-hudsonvalleyhost-lowendbox-lowendtalk-sold-to-deluxe-com/815 https://hostedtalk.net/t/colocrossing-chicagovps-hudsonvalle...

> Compared to Azure VM instances, Hetzner offers like 100x more performance for each $ spent. So much this. I can't stress enough how awesome of a deal are Hetzner Cloud's offerings. I've also been running a personal Docker Swarm cluster on Hetzner for the past two years and I couldn't be happier with the way it performs. And how refreshing it is to actually be able to predict and control costs, and have absolutely no worry in the world regarding what might pop up in the invoice. If only this was true for any other cloud provider.

How's the development velocity compared to Azure? Can your App scale across regions?
