Yes, they're at a much higher price point, but it's also way cheaper than AWS. I certainly understand the draw of Hetzner's price point!
How is Herzner able to be so much cheaper than the competition?

My low cost provider of GPUs has run out of capacity. Good alternatives?

~ 8.5x higher price than Hetzner.

Everything is way cheaper than AWS.

#43I think Ebay and TaoBao are now filled to the brim with discarded mining GPUs
how much life do these typically have left in them?

#45Vast AI (https://vast.ai) are good, 1x GTX 1080 comes to about $170/month. You are charged by the hour unlike Hetzner.
There are obviously downsides to renting time from random individuals though, so it's not suitable for a server-like workload. Good for development notebooks or training.

They have addons for most support issues, including priority incidents - throughout the years we've been with them, it can take ~2-5 hours before someone even reply to complete server downtime.
We mostly host proxmox nodes and use HA, so it's not much of an issue when it's used like this.
OVH is very similar, although, Hetzner is often quicker.
We only use server-grade (Like Xeon or EPYC), not the desktop ones (No ECC memory).
If one need many IP's, OVH always wins in price due to it being a one-time cost, while Hetzner charges monthly.

#47Colocation with ebay'd servers and graphics cards. Some people don't know there's somewhere in between building a datacentre and cloud servers.
That's not a low cost solution though, and hard to just turn off the cost when you're done with your day
> hard to just turn off the cost when you're done with your day
Yeah, but the same is true of OP's Hetzner machines.

I recently used Vast.ai for ~3 weeks to run an anime BigGAN ( https://www.gwern.net/Faces#biggan ) and the stability/uptime was pretty much 100%: it never went down or caused problems. (I had problems, but they were all due to the BigGAN.) As long as a little downtime isn't too big a deal or you can script changing instances (they have a CLI tool), you probably could run as a server.

#50Hetzner has provided a quality service for a long time but now they have no more GPU servers available. That makes it hard to scale. Any other options out there without going bankrupt on AWS?
scaleway has GPUs now: https://www.scaleway.com/en/gpu-instances/
500€ instead of 111€ though
