For some use-cases the Hetzner server-auction is also great value and I’ve had good experience with them. https://www.hetzner.com/sb For example, I was running some experiments that required lots of RAM. Right now you can get a server with 256GB RAM for €60/month.

Big Hetzner fan, but the EX101 does not feel like a good value compared to the AX101 that they've had for a while. Yes, the i9-13900 is faster than the 5950X, but does that justify half the RAM and half the disk? - EX101: Intel Core i9-13900 / 64 GB / 2x1.92 TB NVMe - From €84 - AX101: AMD Ryzen™ 9 5950X / 128GB / 2x3.84 TB NVMe - From €101
I rent one AX101 and it has been extremely good value. The thing is so cheap and fast. However my first one did often reboot randomly and the support wasn’t very helpful. They told me to just rent another one, which I did. The second one rebooted randomly once in about a year. I guess the first one went on auction and still happily reboots. Hetzner feels like a hard discount cloud provider. I still prefer them over A…
Not to discount your experience, but honestly, my experiences with Hetzner support have generally been unexpectedly good. They've been very quick to respond, tend to immediately start on whatever my issue is if I provide enough info in the initial ticket, etc. And unlike OVH, I haven't felt like I needed to call them on the phone to get decent service. Kind of surprising to hear that their solution was just "rent another".
Overall pleasant experience for me, especially given how cheap the servers are. My only real wishes would be dedicated servers in the US or Canada, and possibly something in between their unmetered 1Gbps and metered 10Gbps offerings -- being able to burst a bit higher than gigabit occasionally without paying the €1/TB bandwidth fee would be beautiful.

I really wish I could get dedicated hardware for somewhere close to that price here in Asia. It seems like Hetzner is the only company in the world offering these kind of prices, right? What's the catch?

They are a discount provider. In my experience however, this kind of problems are very rare. They pop up now and them. I would just order a new server. In one company I was involved with, hetzner was used from the start and architecture was built around it, and at some point we calculated the costs compared to using AWS or similar. The cost savings were insane.
Hetzner is more hassle, but the question is how much do you are willing to pay to get the hassle removed, and in which way.
Gosh, I wish there were something similar in the US. Right now I'm on the IONOS "server of the month[1]," which is $33/mo for dedicated six-core, 16GB, 1TB HDD. I run game servers, which could benefit from SSDs and more RAM, but I'm priced out. I'd take the 44€ config in a heartbeat. Is anybody aware of anything that's price competitive in the US (or within a 50ms ping)? [1] https://www.ionos.com/servers/value-dedica…

About 10 years ago when they introduced the EX40 (I think?) those hard-froze randomly every couple hours to days on Linux. But only for some users. They couldn't track down the issue the first few weeks, I guess that's what you get for being an early adopter. They must have gotten (un)lucky during testing and only had setups that worked. It was first suspected to be certain brands of RAM, so I requested a RAM-swap wh…
I guess it would be good habit to report the server to hetzner though.
Why are there no pulumi/terraform providers for Hetzner?
I have been working in the industry since 20 years and i have not a single bad word to loose about Hetzner. Their Service has always been impeccable and their servers just run. I have been running k8s clusters on hetzner for quite some time now and the flexibility for the price is exactly what i expect from a hoster! Now with this addition Hetzner closes another gap that made projects spends thousands more on enterpr…

Hetzner opened at least one US location with more in the way, I think. Edit1: missed word; Edit2: people pointed below that the us locations don't have dedicated servers, cloud servers only;
Thanks. I took a look, it seems that they only have the "cloud servers" there, no dedicated. Those aren't as economical, as a 64GB server like the 44€ dedicated model starts at 153€/mo.
