Everyone who says this is a bad price for the hardware, please link me to any other bare metal server for rent at 16e/mo. I haven't seen it, not at Hetzner, nor anywhere else.
You can hate on it all you want, but this is simply a unique offering.

Simmilar setup with 2GB RAM goes for 19 GBP on 1on1 in the UK
HP ProLiant DL120 with a Dual Core Xeon 4GB of RAM and 2TB storage goes for 29 Euro's on Leaseweb...
Is it 16? nope, but don't even compare 16 Euro's for a didcated cell phone with no storage, no IO and very poor performance is like leasing a TI calculator as a compute cloud....
online.net will sell you an x64 server for as low as 6e/m, and with scaleway you can get an ARM server with a significantly better storage story for 10e/m.
There are a myriad of low-cost dedicated server providers in this price range that are not selling SD cards and other consumer hardware.
There's performance concerns as well, but those don't really apply for ARM as obviously you can do better.
Colo can be even cheaper, but it needs additional skills, and more upfront money investment. It's a whole different world.
