They are vastly cheaper even than their actual competition in the US like Digital Ocean. edit: Actually I had completely missed the most recent price update.

They are vastly cheaper even than their actual competition in the US like Digital Ocean. edit: Actually I had completely missed the most recent price update. I made this comment referring to April 1st pricing. I did not receive a communication about the June 15th update, because it did not apply to existing resources. This gives the breakdown: https://docs.hetzner.com/general/infrastructure-and-availability/price-adjustment/#usa-ashhil https://docs.hetzner.com/general/infrastructure-and-availabi... I have two CCX13, which were small (2CPU, 8GB RAM) dedicated compute VMs in Ashburn. Those are 16.99 EUR / month on my account, but for me to add another would now cost 43.99 EUR. There is also large premium for hosting in Ashburn compared to Europe for the CPX line, which are the shared/subscribed tier. The SKUs are different so its not directly comparable but for example CPX32 (4vCPU/8GB) is 35.49 EUR in Falkenstein but a CPX31 (4vCPU/8GB) is 62.49 EUR in Ashburn and has far less bandwidth.

That is shockingly more expensive. Damn, rip hetzner.

Not sure. They were cheaper than DigitalOcean, to the point where 1 DO instance cost would give you 3 on Hetzner, but now they're at parity, and DO seems to have a better product.

  Why do you think it's a better product? Slicker interface?

    Probably more versatile. Hetzner is just VPSes. They do not offer any PaaS product like managed DBs, managed Redis, wahtever.

    Hosted Postgres, hosted K8s, block storage that can IOPS.

      The reason I use a VPS is to not use hosted anything, personally. So I guess whether that makes it a better product or not is highly personal. Speaking for myself, I used $5 DO droplets for quite a while when learning but as soon as I switched to real projects and realized how quickly the price ramped up, I moved to Hetzner and the simplicity of their interface was a breath of fresh air. I saved a ton of time after switching. So to me, Hetzner has the superior product.

        For the most part I agree but poor performance on network block storage is very limiting. Also there is no object store service available in Ashburn, its only in EU. My point is more that DO has a complete modern cloud platform, and Hetzner doesn't quite.

        It's a fair point, I have managed to keep everything on one VPS and it's fast enough. But I've had to make some adjustments based on that limitation. Still, it's like RAM limits. When you don't have enough, it forces you to be more efficient. So it hasn't been a big problem for me, so far at least.

  The vps performance is not comparable to a dedicated server. Same cpu’s still means twice as slow. Also hetzner alllows for much larger servers in terms of memory at still a fraction of do pricing
