I am in Hamburg, so Hetzner is local hero for me. But I want to say, their "auction" dedicated servers also have price trap ? No, actually they are honest. The price you bid is the price. I run two auction servers for 3 years, same number every month.

Contabo I tried once, the St. Louis datacenter...

That was probably me or someone from my circle. We have a Telegram group for used server hardware in northern Germany, about 200 people. Falkenstein wait times at Hetzner are real, I tried to get a second Epyc 7313 in January and got quote...

RAID configs dont matter when the provider forgets you exist and your uptime is measured in presidential terms

Also Hamburg here. What is shipping cost for GMK to EU now? Last group buy I paid 23 EUR VAT plus DHL handling fee. For plastic. My car insurance is 280 EUR/year. The math is broken somewhere.

In Germany we have the Bundesumweltamt database for green electricity. Hostinger's Amsterdam DC runs on Dutch grid, not green by default. They never claimed location-specific sourcing though. Just "neutral." The offset was doing heavy lifting.

I'm in Hamburg so Hetzner is local to me. Their pricing is what you see, no tricks. GreenCloudVPS has that Amsterdam DC but why bother with the lottery when Hetzner exists?
