If you’re looking for a cheap but reliable alternative, Hetzner offers i7 64GB Ram servers for as low as 37.45€/month.

Of course you’re not in AWS, forget about all the managed services, but we’re talking about 95%~98% cheaper egress costs, with 20TB included in most machines.

We have no egress fees but you're right about Hetzner. They're cheap. We aim to offer more value-added software to make up for it. Also that machine is in Europe, Americans don't like the latency (at least I don't), they have been known to shut people down (within reason).

Also I'm seeing that the most they can go RAM-wise for a dedicated US location is 192G. We go to 512 and will soon go beyond. I'm sure they'll get there soon but that's a consideration as well.

Please go an checkout the whole offer of hetzner is already everything you need.

Hetzner doesn’t offer their cheap dedicated servers in the US, only their cloud offering which is similarly priced to the OP’s example ($223).

What about ingress costs?

free

Approximately nobody charges for basic incoming traffic to a server. If it's not mentioned it's free.

AWS will charge you if you cross zones.
