This is like paying $10 every month for a raspberry pi + $40 SSD, or $75 in hardware.
I rather pay $40/mo for Hetzner 3930 CPU server with something like 30 VMs.

It's no great saving over places like Hetzner or Digital Ocean, but I don't think it's _quite_ as bad a deal as you're making out... I wonder how much more than $300 it'd cost you to buy the hardware that Hetzner give you for four times as much per month?
Otherwise, someone willing to pay as little as possible for just a single bare metal dedicated machine, is much better of renting a Kimsufi instead.
Raspberry Pis and SSDs do not come with bandwidth and redundant network, power, and cooling infrastructure.
Good luck when Hetzner null route your server when a competitor DDoSes you
Just look on the various web hosting forums (webhostingtalk.com) with regards to Hetzer. They are very hostile to customers that have these problems.
OVH, which are priced similarly, include DDoS protection in all their new plans.
I find Hetzer are good for non public facing servers. Job processors, internal tool servers etc.
For the best protection you need to pay more - in the case of Scaleway, their pricing page (https://www.scaleway.com/pricing) says it's available with the "premium" bandwidth option - but anecdotally I've heard even the basic protection is pretty good.
