Hetzner Cloud for actual production?

Yes. Four years now. The catch is no managed anything, no SLA worth the paper, and support is business hours German time. We run our own monitoring and accept the risk.

€3.79 is the old price. CX11 is €4.51 now. Still absurd. We spend more on coffee.

Hetzner's T&Cs changed in 2023. No crypto mining, no "excessive" bandwidth, they define excessive. GDPR makes them careful but also quick to suspend. I keep backups elsewhere.

Belgium perspective: our regulator cares where data sits. Hetzner Germany is adequate. US providers are a compliance headache now.

This thread answered my question before I asked it. Was going to post "is Contabo still good" but apparently not for 512MB.

The 4GB+ plans are fine. 512MB and 1GB are the oversold tiers everyone regrets. Their storage VPS line is actually decent for backups if you need cheap disk.

I have a 400GB storage box in Nuremberg. €2.99/mo. Slow but it holds my restic.

52 VPS and we're calling it infrastructure. I love this forum.

It's not hoarding if you have a spreadsheet. I have 12 and I have a spreadsheet. Therefore not hoarding. QED.
