I'm just leaving this here: https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/ax161/configurator https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/ax161/configura... Draw that nice red slide all the way to the right. No, it's not storage. Yeah, it's actually affordable. Yeah, that was a sexual sound you just made. You do have to be prepared to know some basic sysadmin, or pay somebody to do it for you. My newest server has about 60 cores and half a tera of ram. Surprisingly, it's not uber sharp - I went with high core count so individual queries actually got slower for about 20%. But that load... you can't even tell if the cpu load gauge is working. I can't wait to fill it up :D Maybe this black friday season I'll get it to 10%.

What are you using this for?

  www.couriermanager.com - SaaS for courier companies, basically. The new server is the common pool instance - I have others for dedicated clients.

...and Hetzner just started offering their services in the US a few days ago. (EDIT: not affiliated) If you do something stupid with your code at least you won't go bankrupt, only your service will be slower.

  I used their VPS service before and I didn't have to pay for overage, but now that it's part of their cloud offering, overage is charged.

  With the performance of these servers you have a huge margin for stupidity before you even notice any slowdowns.

  I was just comparing the pricing to OVH's cloud VPS's (https://us.ovhcloud.com/ https://us.ovhcloud.com/) and, accounting for the currency conversion and OVH's huge amount of free unmetered bandwidth (vs 20TB for H), it actually looks like OVH is even cheaper. How can DO and Vultr even compete? Probably on the basis of their nicer dashboards and easier sign-up flow (especially OVH's)

    Tried OVH once. Couldn't even finish the account setup. Was rather dissapointed because I wanted not to depend on just one provider. Might give them a chance again.

      I rented a VPS from the French website (their native language), and it was confusing. I remember looping through the same 2 pages 10 times before actually finding the instance's access instructions. Of course, you don't have to care about the console once you have SSH access to the server. It seems to be pretty good service for the money.

        Hetzner is German, not french. Ovh is french.
        joconde 5y ago
        Sure, but who is Hetzner? My comment was about OVH.
        NicoJuicy 5y ago
        Omg. Hetzner is similar to OVH and DigitalOcean. It seems that i misread somewhere? Weird I think the sentence: how can DO and Vultr even compete was my interpretation of the better offering of Hetzner ( including uptime). Sorry

  Oooooooooh!

  Just to clarify, Hetzner now has Cloud servers in the US. Dedicated servers are still only available in Europe.

    I appreciate that info. I tried Hetzner a decade ago from the US just to see what kind of latency I might expect. I've been waiting for them to finally get US located services to give them a serious shot (vs Digital Ocean & Co.).

We are currently on AWS, and we have several dedicated servers on LeaseWeb that we offload computational work on. These are cheap beasts. Still, I'd not run my RDBMS on an unmanaged, non replicated dedicated server and I'd not bother setting up multiple servers with failover, automated backups etc and keep updating them. Fuck that, I'll pay whatever AWS says RDS costs.
