There are lots of other options. While they may not all be "cloud" providers, there is a wealth of VPS and dedicated server providers in almost all countries you can name.
I have no idea why you are picking on Hetzner in particular. They offer clearly defined bandwidth packages with their servers (20-50 TB) and charge for overages (0.2 cents per GB).
Hetzner is perhaps not what you would call a premium provider, but their prices are about in line with industry wholesale rates. For example a very high quality provider that competes with Hetzner in their home market charge 0.4 cents per GB and they are happy to deliver any traffic you can serve at that price point.
- copergi 13y ago>While they may not all be "cloud" providers Then they are not "other options", that's the point.
- dediserv 13y agoThere most certainly are other cloud providers out there, but it would help if you defined what you are looking for instead of conflating issues. Webhostingtalk is a good resource for the curious.
- copergi 13y ago>There most certainly are other cloud providers out there With similar pricing to amazon. Are you not reading any of the replies you've gotten?
- dediserv 13y agoYes, I've read them and responded accordingly. Perhaps you could do the same. There are cloud providers with cheaper prices than Amazon. Please feel free to read up on the alternatives. The whole point of this exchange has been to point out that wholesale prices are far less than what Amazon charges. Some cloud providers are more prone to follow the wholesale cost level and others are not. If you want to discuss alternatives to Amazon then first you have to define what cloud features you want/need.
