Hetzner announces price hike for cloud servers and bandwidth cut of up to 95%
-
That article is almost 4 months old and yeah, the internet in EU is better than in the US. But you can get US plans with plenty of bandwidth. I've been happy with buyvm.net and there are many others. Hang out on lowendspirit.com for a while to get a sense of things.
-
Yeah, it's old, but it took effect this month for existing customers, hence why I noticed.
-
For bandwidth intensive stuff I like wholesale internet’s stuff.
The hardware is very uh, old, but the network quality is great since they run an ix. And it’s unmetered too so it’s probably sufficient.
-
ovh has everything (i think) mentioned, they also have inexpensive baremetal servers.
They also have shitty ui.
-
I'm satisfied. Virmach has had ups and downs but their network is fast too.
-
Cheap, thanks
-
Thats expensive.
With a very nieche benefit. I doubt that one core can chug enough to make any significant bandwith.
-
And terrible, archaic, chaotic practices such as activating your 2FA without permission and then locking you out of your account for weeks pending multiple signed paper letters. Oh, and sometimes their datacenters burn down and take your server with them. I'm sad to have to throw them under the bus like this. I want OVH to succeed but personally my patience with them definitively ran out.
-
Well it not like they burn constantly they only burned
oncetwice! As for the 2fa problem, I've missed it because it was activated already. They are mostly okay now, I think my company lost a few millions when they burned (all our infrastructure was there). -
Check out Lunanode. Cheapest option is 3.50 a month and bonus points for being Canadian. I just recently set my VPS up there and am really pleased with them. Afaik they support your needs including custom ISO.
-
Well that puts the loss of my little VPS into perspective.
-
$1 per month is expensive?
-
Well the cheapest there is $2/month, but yeah for a single core I dont think I would be worth the effort to setup, let alone also pay for
-
You can get 4 cores, 6gb ram, 200gb ssd for 6$ per month from contabo.
Lets normalize the price for comparison.
6/3 = 2
So for the same normalized price you get:
- 4/3 = 1.333 cores
- 6/3 = 2GB RAM
- 200/3 = 66GB SSD storage
And the math gets even worse if you compare the other tiers.
-
I like racknerd for cheap vps. Check their black Friday deals (they're up all the time).
Also check lowendtalk, sometimes you'll find good deals.
-
Yes we're charging you more... but on the other hand we're giving you less, so it all evens out.
-
how do they compare with infomaniak? i was looking to move from aws to an eu solution.
-
infomaniak
It looks like they don't go very low end, so if you're wanting that, Hetzner is probably a better pick.
-
Yeah, I really don't understand why transfer is so expensive here in the US. The same base tier service provides 1TB transfer in the US and 20TB in the EU. I don't need 20TB, but it would be nice to have 3-5TB in case I need to restore a backup or something.
-
Contabo uses recycled hardware for many of its products, which contributes to its competitive pricing. However, this practice might raise concerns about reliability for critical projects.
