I am from Canada and when renting from Hetzner was never asked about personal ID. Maybe because I started few years ago. Never knew about Scaleway. Looked at their website - prices for bare metal seem to be higher than in Hetzner
- sevenzero 5mo agoThe ID checks are random. When I registered a while back I had to provide mine, so I aborted the registration. I tried again recently and was not asked for one.
- wolvoleo 5mo agoYes but hetzner sell a lot of older hardware for bargain basement prices. It's their thing. They're more of a traditional hoster. Scaleway's compute is more like Amazon EC2.
- FpUser 5mo ago>"Scaleway's compute is more like Amazon EC2" - meaning they give less and charge more. Thanks but I'll pass. Hardware I rend from Hetzner is usually 16 core AMD with 128GB RAM and couple of nvme's. Never had single failure. Of course I periodically buy new server, do deploy. Old one becomes standby and standby of the old gets cancelled. Scaleway's offer of the same computing power is highly unattractive comparatively.
- wolvoleo 5mo agoWhat I mean is Scaleway is more dynamic cloud-like. You spin stuff up and pay by the hour. It's not really as cost effective for static 24/7 stuff just like Amazon isn't. That's exactly what I meant by Hetzner being more traditional.
