No problem over here at all. It's probably a problem with "German internet".

And they're also loading a script from googletagmanager.com.

I don't get how you can advertise Kubernetes from 0 euro / month and then you have to choose a node that costs 3 euro / month.

I have no idea if it's cheap or not but how is this kind of advertising legal?

I'm not expecting 100% SLO, but using Cloudflare cloud service while you are a cloud service is little ridiculous.

This is a strange page: https://upcloud.com/products/zero-cost-egress

There's "zero cost egress" mentioned all over the page but the limits on https://upcloud.com/fair-transfer-policy are comparable to other hosts like DigitalOcean: the cheapest 7 EUR VPS has a limit of 1TB of bandwidth. (For comparison, Hetzner offers 20TB on their EU VPS for under $5.)

> Say goodbye to unpredictable egress costs and hello to our zero egress fee initiative. Unlike other cloud providers, we don’t charge for outbound traffic (‘egress’). This gives you the freedom to distribute your content and scale your business without the constant worry of unexpected bills.

This has to be a joke.

The only reason you may use these EU version of services is that you are in Europe.

Otherwise EU is worse in terms of privacy. UK (while not officially in Europe) goes even beyond, requiring backdooor to iCloud and non-eu providers.

Please elaborate how the EU is worse (UK doesn't count). Worse than what other country and how?

That is only for their public site. The US provider has a European presence (the error page is clear I am seeing Cloudflare London). Started working for me while typing this.

You say that, but their login page / dashboard is hosted on the same IP, also through Cloudflare.

Love the fact that hacker news comments are absolutely pulling up on this website.

They are blatantly lying in many of their offerings ( zero cost egress see the rustc comment) and so much more.

Wha? Why are you lying. Why are you being deceptive.

How can I trust a company which is this level of deceptive.
