Anyone tried Hetzner's new Hillsboro location? I know it's US but curious if pricing differs. Not relevant to OP but wondering if they run same hardware globally.
works on my bench ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Need EU VPS under $15/year with 2GB RAM, impossible?

Hillsboro is same pricing structure but USD billing. Not useful for EU data residency. OP wants EU, stay in Falkenstein.

Thank you all I create account Hetzner now. One question: they accept Pix or only card? I have N26 but no Euro account only BRL.
ping so high I wave back
Hetzner bills in EUR only. N26 works fine, I use it from Berlin. They accept SEPA debit or card. No Pix, no BRL. Your bank converts at their rate, usually 0.5-1% spread.
Neuland. Aber schnell.

Bruno22 you from SP too, I use Hetzner with N26 it works. But careful with IOF tax on card, better use transferwise/wise now. I pay €4.51 and wise charges me R$26-28 depending on day.

Good tip pauloserver I will check Wise. Now I see Hetzner has "Location" Falkenstein or Nuremberg, and "Region" EU. What is difference?

Location is the physical datacenter. Region is for their API and network grouping, EU region covers both. Pick Falkenstein, older facility, slightly better peering in my experience.
Also Falkenstein has their storage box integration if you later want backup. Nuremberg has it too but Falkenstein is where they started, more mature network.
Following this thread. Hetzner CX11 in Sofia from here, 35ms latency, solid for the price. No setup fee is rare now, most providers hide something.
