Not really related to their GPU offering but Hetzner is such a great company. I have a dedicated server I rented where I host all of my side projects. For the same price as one shitty VPS I get 8 cores, 64GB ram and a disk of 240GB or something like that.

Just incredible, response times are incredibly low and there is no cap on data. The few times I have contacted support they've been great. The only times I have experienced downtime is when I have stopped or rebooted the servers.

Can't recommend enough, especially if you are inside the EU and care about data privacy. The fact that they're a european company is of great value to me.

If you are new on server provisioning and want to learn how to setup a new server, I wrote a small guide for how to do it for node-projects (works for pretty much any web app if you replace the node.js stuff): https://deployjs.com/ (hosted on that server)

Had a server with them for more than 10 years. Had they eliminated the setup fee, they would get more of my money for sure for small projects.

Is Nvidia RTX 4000 solid for training? Alternatively this card seems listed for around $1800 so at $180/month on Hetzner, it may be even cheaper to buy it, depending on the expected usage.

It's with ample RAM and the latest Intel CPU. Assuming the whole thing draws 100W, that's also including 72kWh of electricity.

The setup fee is a one-time fee though, so if you have a server for many years that won't hurt so much. I pay around €30/month for the server I am renting but I know it will last a long time even if I get spikes on any on my many projects. For a 8 core, 16GB droplet/vps at DigitalOcean it will cost you ~$96/month. The performance is better at Hetzner for about 1/3 the cost.

Yes. I'm talking about occasional needs for a small server for a month or two.

Ah yes, they are great if you messing about. Not so great if you have crucial business server with them.
