The droplet I have is 32 GB ram, 160 GB disk, 16 vCPUs (dedicated CPU, Regular Intel).
What would you suggest me instead?
I see Hetzner and maybe OVH could cost significantly less.
Actually looks like with Hetzner I would get better specs at 115 eur per month. With 16 vCP, 64GB ram, 360 GB SSD.
That's crazy, I didn't realize there's such a huge difference.
I think your comment is actually impressively valuable to me...
I'm going to bring it all over during the weekend. That's really exciting to find out much cheaper prices, because I've had disk space running out constantly on my DO. I do all my docker builds, files, databases and everything there as well. And for side projects I usually value all the cache and development speed as opposed to trying to optimize everything to take min performance and storage.
Also I spend way too much on Supabase. I think also $300+/month and increasing, I will bring that over and self host with a large SSD. I think at this point I prefer self hosting a postgres anyway to Supabase. I just tried it for a while, but the costs started going up.
Thank you so much.
Edit: there's some limits in Hetzner initially, so it might take few months before I can actually migrate.

There are stories online of folks getting their accounts deactivated or not even getting approved. https://x.com/theo/status/1827480999305118135 https://x.com/theo/status/1827480999305118135 https://x.com/heyandras/status/1856747621962191126 https://x.com/heyandras/status/1856747621962191126
- ndriscoll 2y agoIf you don't actually need colocation for your side project, looks like you could buy an i7-11700k, 64 GB of DDR4, a motherboard, and a 512 GB NVMe drive for ~$430. That's looking at new parts on amazon. You might be able to do better with e.g. ebay.
- mewpmewp2 2y agoYou mean I would host at home? I like the idea however I maybe should get a separate internet package for that purpose I think, as to not mess with what I do at home.
