Was doing some research this weekend on cloud exit. Hetzner is attractive, but our company is pretty much limited to the US (no international companies due to our current business model). How practical would it be?

Also, I've seen a lot of concern over blocked IPs, especially for lower-cost hosts. Is that an issue with Hetzner?

Hetzner cloud supports us-west and us-east.

I was looking at dedicated hardware. If I decide to stay in anyone's cloud, I'd stick with AWS.

Yeah Hetzner doesn't have dedicated in the US, and not sure if it will in near/mid future.

Still, Hetzner cloud is pretty good option, and there's more support coming on building on Hetzner.

https://www.ubicloud.com/ (from founders of citus) is mainly/currently targeting hetzner, for example.

There's alternative companies with similar offers, like Deft:

I imagine one reason I didn't hear about them before is that they don't seem to offer self service. I absolutely don't want to talk to anyone when I am buying object storage, cloud vms, or even dedicated.
