The pricing here always confused me. I thought VPS's were supposed to be cheaper than hardware. At $50+/month you're into dedicated pricing in my mind.

- distortionfield 3y agoGone are the days where a $5 server can do anything but run a static site
- qeternity 3y agoWhat? Hetzner will sell you a 1c / 2gb instance for $5/mo and you can do an incredible amount with that. 99% of people’s side projects can run on that. Hell, plenty of startups could run on that.
- distortionfield 3y agoYMMV, but this doesn’t pass the smell test for me. modest sized projects will freeze a $5 droplet during an install and build for me. I’ve tried across multiple providers. DigitalOcean, Linode, and Vultr. Tried all of them, and a $5 droplet can’t handle anything but a static site IMO. I don’t disagree a startup can go far on a small droplet but inflation has made $5 droplets too slow to be useful IME.
- ahofmann 3y agoA $5 instance runs almost any php stack just fine. Even if they have a build process.
- qeternity 3y agoWhat do you mean? There are no specifics here.
- axelthegerman 3y agoYou should give hetzner a try. Definitely much better value (on paper at least) and so far been working flawlessly for me. Would appreciate some more voices on noisy neighbors at hetzner though as that's always the bigger problem of VPS than the promises they make
