What are some cheaper and better hosting providers that you can recommend?
- ferngodfather 1y agoHetzner! They do ask for ID though.
- benterix 1y agoHetzner. For most public cloud providers you have to give them your credit card number so they can charge an arbitrary amount. For Hetzner, instead of CC#, you give a scan of your ID (of course you can attach your CC too or Paypal). Personally I do my payments via a bank transfer. I recently paid for the whole 2025 and 2026 for all my k8s clusters. It gives unimaginable peace of mind when compared to AWS/GCP/Azure. Plus, their cloud instances often spin up much faster than EC2.
- t_mahmood 1y agoI have used Knownhost previously, it served me really well. Before that, I used to go for Linode, but I think they've become more pricey?
- LamaOfRuin 1y agoLinode was bought by Akamai. They immediately raised prices, and they have been, if anything, less reliable.
- t_mahmood 1y agoAhh, yes, I remember now! I think it's almost 8 years now? Stopped using them after the buy out. Too bad, actually, their service was pretty good.
- drewnick 1y agoFor bare metal I’ve been using tier.net to get 192 GB RAM, 4TB NVME and 32 cores for $219/mo. Data centers all over the country and I get to locate under 10ms from my regional audience. Just a data point if you want some bigger iron than a VM.
