Gosh, I wish there were something similar in the US. Right now I'm on the IONOS "server of the month[1]," which is $33/mo for dedicated six-core, 16GB, 1TB HDD.

Gosh, I wish there were something similar in the US. Right now I'm on the IONOS "server of the month[1]," which is $33/mo for dedicated six-core, 16GB, 1TB HDD. I run game servers, which could benefit from SSDs and more RAM, but I'm priced out. I'd take the 44€ config in a heartbeat. Is anybody aware of anything that's price competitive in the US (or within a 50ms ping)?

Hetzner opened at least one US location with more in the way, I think. Edit1: missed word; Edit2: people pointed below that the us locations don't have dedicated servers, cloud servers only;

  US locations are cloud-only.

  Thanks. I took a look, it seems that they only have the "cloud servers" there, no dedicated. Those aren't as economical, as a 64GB server like the 44€ dedicated model starts at 153€/mo.

    Shame, hopefully they will expand their offerings.

I like ReliableSite (reliablesite.net) - not as cheap as Hetzner but they they have a few US locations to pick from.

OVH [1] is not quite as cheap, but I can't really think of anyone else in the area that is totally comparable. One draw of OVH, Hetzner, etc, for me over the truly small, cheap dedicated server providers is they both have pretty decent networks and free DDoS mitigation, which is really nice for things like game servers and such where CloudFlare isn't an option. OVH's sub-brands like SoYouStart [2] will sell you decently specced dedicated servers started at around $30 a month in Quebec, which tends to be more than good enough for most of my "US" needs. They do have a couple datacenters in the United States too, not just Canada (+ quite a few in Europe, one in Singapore, some in Australia, etc), but I believe the Virginia/Oregon servers aren't available on the cheaper SYS site -- still cheap, though, but not quite $30 cheap. [1]: <https://www.ovh.com https://www.ovh.com> [2]: <https://www.soyoustart.com/ https://www.soyoustart.com/> (main downsides compared to OVH proper is the connection is capped at ~250Mbps, and although all servers have DDoS mitigation, the SYS and Kimsufi servers don't allow you to leave it on 24/7 -- so when you get attacked, it might take a minute or so to kick in, and then it'll remain on for 24 hours, I believe)
