For those of you looking for competitive prices with servers in the U.S., take a look at SSD Nodes—a bootstrapped hosting provider I've been working on since 2011. I'm the founder and CEO, so I'm a little biased, but we're offering 16GB of RAM plus KVM for a price that's more than competitive with Hetzner, and have clients posting excellent benchmarks, like 1.1 GB/s throughput and 480K IOPS[0].

I’d join in a heartbeat if you supported Windows. Why do almost no VPS providers support Windows?

Prices seem ridiculous even without the discount.

If I get the 16GB RAM plan can I scale up at a later stage and what processes on my part does that involve?

When you create a new cloud server, there is a tab called CEPH (for the Ceph network filesystem). It does not have any options and it looks like it is not active yet. It would be great if they offered network storage through Ceph.

This is another product type runnning on SSD-backed Ceph storage instead of NVME SSDs. Thank you for pointing out this hiccup in our user interface. I've passed that information on to my team members. --Katie, Marketing, Hetzner Online

When you switch tabs, the same server you selected should remain selected.

It's super easy. Just log into the dashboard and select your server, then "Upgrade" to see the options. From there, choose the package you want and your KVM server will be automatically scaled up (with zero downtime).

Also - any way to get Fedora rather than Centos?

We will definitely add support for Fedora in the future.

The 16/32GB RAM options are actually the lowest we offer. We did the side deal thing in the past, but having different pricing on the main site and a landing page just made things more complicated and led to unhappy customers.

We're definitely planning on offering Windows in the future. There are some licensing headaches, and it also means having people on staff that are experts in both Linux AND Windows (for customer queries, etc). So it's a bit more involved than just having a Windows install, but we're working on it.
