I went the opposite direction at Hetzner with the last round of price hikes. I now use multiple of the Hetzner Cloud instances for my personal projects, for 1/4 of the price (most of the time) or for more if I am messing with something in particular. Peak performance is certainly worse - but I am not too bothered if something takes longer to run anyway. You are certainly correct on having as much automation in the provisioning of a server, something I did not do with a physical server.

This. I used to have a root server for my pet projects, but honestly, that doesn't make sense. I'm not running a high traffic, compute intense SaaS on my machines. It's just a static website and some projects. I'm down to monthly costs of 24€, which includes a storage box of 1 TB to store all my data.

  Static website I like the combo of Git(Hub,Lab) Pages and Cloudflare fronting it for SSL/domain name. Nice and free, and if I want to move elsewhere it's also simple enough.

  You must have great and ultrareliable service. My monthly cost is just over $8 and I have one 1TB storage and one 2TB storage besides three little machines.

    Yepp, service availability is somewhat great.
