~ 8.5x higher price than Hetzner.

Well, it looks like a supply/demand issue by Hetzner

Yes, they're at a much higher price point, but it's also way cheaper than AWS.

I certainly understand the draw of Hetzner's price point!

How is Herzner able to be so much cheaper than the competition?

Unmanaged (and typically old) hardware

They have addons for most support issues, including priority incidents - throughout the years we've been with them, it can take ~2-5 hours before someone even reply to complete server downtime.

We mostly host proxmox nodes and use HA, so it's not much of an issue when it's used like this.

OVH is very similar, although, Hetzner is often quicker.

We only use server-grade (Like Xeon or EPYC), not the desktop ones (No ECC memory).

If one need many IP's, OVH always wins in price due to it being a one-time cost, while Hetzner charges monthly.

Everything is way cheaper than AWS.
