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.

They have VPS cloud offerings similar to DigitalOcean as well, with no setup fees.

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.

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 exp…

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

why not?

Why not go with hertzner cloud? No setup fees and you'll be billed by the usage. Still cheaper than other cloud providers.

I don't work at Hetzner, I live in Sweden. I'm just a happy customer giving praise for a company that really doesn't get so much attention.

With all big american companies seemingly getting so much attention nowadays, I am glad for the European alternatives that we have where you don't have to ship your customers data to the three letter agencies.

We've been running stuff on their platform for years with very little problems. Why not?

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.

Why does this GPU cost so much? It seems to be like an RTX 3060 Ti/3070 with more VRAM and less power draw. Does that really justify the price tag?

FWIW, on the server auction, you could get GPU servers since a while: https://www.hetzner.com/sb/#additional=GPU Looks like currently there are only GTX 1080s on the server auction, I don't know if they normally have other GPUs available as well.

Nvidia RTX 4000 SFF Ada

From the OP link, the GPU-Server GEX44 server line includes RTX 4000.

And the server only cost €184/month.

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

I'm not sure what the exact 'rule' is here, but you wouldn't use a contraction in this sentence.

It is, with ample RAM and the latest CPU.
