Love Hetzner. Can vouch for them. I run a very beefy machine on them and use Pocketbase and that is a multimillion dollar business.
How beefy is "very beefy"? :)

Hetzner Cloud Expands to Singapore

#62I see intel variant shared vps are cheaper than the amd in hetzner. When we can get Intel variation in Singapore also?
> I see intel variant shared vps are cheaper than the amd in hetzner What does cheaper even mean when it is a lot slower... Those were old Intel CPUs...
There are many services for which we dont need that much faster processing speed. For those it intel variants are enough.

Cool. When I've looked at those they seem decent, but more expensive than putting similar spec'd equipment in co-location (with Hetzner) and let it depreciate over a bunch of years.

Can you explain more? What percentage costs can you save on average?

I think I'd end up more limited by data usage than speeds, so the VPS route might actually make more sense. 10x VPS might actually be higher aggregate throughput than a single dedicated 1Gbps line as well.
You can get 10GbE uplink connections for dedicated servers at Hetzner. ;)
How much though?

#66Do they still require a utility bill to open an account?
Hey there, As with most other reputable web hosting companies, we have a KYC (know your customer) process. With some customers, we may ask them to provide documentation to help us verify their identity/customer information, and we accept many forms of documents to help us with this. Some customers will indeed use a utility bill to help us do this. We understand that going through any KYC process isn't fun, but it doe…
Well, that's a lie. Before COVID, I was a digital nomad and didn't have a permanent address, and you refused to open an account for me because I couldn't confirm my address with the limited options of acceptable documents. I guess it's just a German thing with the Anmeldung's and all that...

Seems to be €42.90:
https://docs.hetzner.com/robot/dedicated-server/network/10g-...
The monthly fee for the 10G Uplink is € 42.90 and includes the 10G NIC.
The included traffic volume for outgoing traffic is 20TB. There
is no bandwidth limitation. Overusage is billed with € 1/TB.
Incoming and internal traffic is unlimited.Re: Hetzner Cloud Expands to Singapore

Sure. Keeping things to round figures for simplicity. :)
Lets say you buy a given Dell server for US$10k.
If you plan to run that server over (say) 5 years then you can effectively consider the hardware cost to be ~US$2k per year.
As a lot of enterprise flash drives are rated for 5 years, that's a decent baseline. (and for the stuff I do, the drives are only lightly loaded so they'll last much longer)
Then it becomes a matter of comparing the yearly cost of your configuration to the Hetzner provided ones.
And if you're patient and know what you're doing (ie build your own servers), you can get some end-of-year model (and similar) servers with lots of memory and storage for "fairly" cheap compared to sticker price.
