S3 isn't a VPS
If it bills monthly and has a region selector, it counts to my spreadsheet
I have four VPS and S3, Cloudflare R2, and Wasabi. Seven "providers" if you're loose with definitions.
How many providers do you actively use right now?
Following this thread. Currently at two but tempted by Hetzner's ARM pricing.

Do it. Their ARM is cheap and the network is fine. I moved two boxes there last quarter, saved maybe thirty percent.
Just don't keep the old boxes "for now." Cancel before you migrate or you end up with four like me.
One provider, three servers. All at RamNode. Been with them since 2016.
Loyalty is underrated. I know their network, their support names, which DC has the better peering to Asia — https://www.peeringdb.com
You can't buy that familiarity by hopping deals.

I was with them 2018-2020. Good price, but their KVM panel felt ancient compared to Vultr's.
Maybe improved now. Not tempted to find out.
Zero VPS right now. Colo'd a Dell R230 last month. One provider: my landlord for the rack space.
Electricity included in rent. I am the cloud now.

New Jersey colo? What's your power situation, summer humidity?
I looked at colo near Newark but the cross-connect pricing made me cry. Back to Hetzner.

In Argentina this is dream only. Import hardware tax is crazy, electricity not stable, and good colo exist in Buenos Aires but cost like small apartment
I stay with Hostinger and InterServer, let them worry about power
This thread went from "how many providers" to "colocation economics" in twenty turns. Classic drift.
For the record: three VPS, one provider. Hetzner. Nuremberg, Falkenstein, Helsinki. Geographic spread without API spread.

This is the way. Same portal, same image, same support. Three datacenters is redundancy. Three companies is chaos.
