half of hetzners ip space is on spam lists, and sometimes out of nowhere they like to ask for your passport and drivers license.
I wish it was only half... It's nearly impossible to get a clean IP at Hetzner.
I've been using them for 6 years with their 5$/month droplet. I am going to be upgraded to 6$ month droplet and forced into 5GB extra SSD space which I don't want or need. Honestly this doesn't make sense, the price of hardware + their economies of scale should bring prices down if anything, they nowhere explained what's going on, am I paying for the CEO's bonus? I'll probably switch off, it's a shame I liked how dev…

The comment you replied to says: > We are still on exponential curves for compute and storage and DC bandwidth. So what’s the angle here, power makes up so much of the service or the cost of power has increased so much that it warrants doubling the price for managed databases?
at least for me in uk the cost of power has almost doubled the beginning of this year, and is expected to rise another 50% in october (the gov limits how much they can jump every 6 months). so i kind of agree with the other poster, power has got so expensive i would expect prices to be going up. (add onto this manufacturing and supply chain issues and replacing hardware isnt cheap either).
Digital Ocean is a huge supporter of spammers and does absolutely nothing about spam or toward spam prevention.
Please do not support Digital Ocean as they've chosen to be a bad actor on the Internet in the name of profit.
Prices should be going down , not up. Infact, I would expect out of my cloud provider a commitment to drop prices by some percentage each year. A $100 workload from last year should not cost more than a $100 this year. We are still on exponential curves for compute, storage and DC bandwidth.
Looks like Linode is still doing $5 nodes. Hopefully there's not a similar announcement there in the near future. https://www.linode.com/pricing/

Because Digital Ocean is a company with employees and investors, not just an automated conglomeration of servers. A 20% increase in prices after 12 years of basically stable prices seems fair.
but aws ec2 price always go down

I recommend it as well, and one added benefit is you're in the same network as their cheap "storage box" servers (AKA SMB/CIFS/WebDAV/SSH storage server), so you can connect the two and get faster block storage compared to combining two clouds.
I have been using Backblaze/Wasabi. If you get their European servers, you can rclone mount on a Hetzner VPS and get very good speeds. If you have a fiber connection/very fast disks at home then maybe it will bottleneck. But for file storage and basic playback (for example, through SMB mount) then it is pretty good. Tbf though, Hetzner auctions with 6TB*2 of disk at 45EUR are a good alternative. It is really a trade-…
