Yes Hetzner is still vastly cheaper option but there are better options now compared to hetzner and the issue is the way that they handled the pricing. Its just simply unsustainable and burns a lot of trust/good will if you increase your prices 3x in such a short period of time Trust me when I say this but Hetzner really belonged in its category previously. I had scoured almost everything and nothing could provide th…
What is comparable to Hetzner in price/scale/features?
> I'm not choosing BunnyNet because it's european, I'm choosing it because it's a good company that is providing a good service. That sounds like a GPT trope, and seems a slightly weird thing to say: the only reason I thought you might be choosing it because it was European was because your entire comment talked about how you were looking for EU alternatives, and how Bunny is better than other European alternatives.…
Here's an answer you can write in Hackernews: I'm really sorry if it sounded like a GPT trope, but that came 100% from me. Not that this is a guarantee of quality (actually it's not), but certainly authenticity. Probably I'm using so many agents lately that I'm starting speaking like them lol If you want I can make it sound more natural, just let me know and I'll change it!
>I still support Cloudflare and they're a great company
Are you a Hetzner customer? I'm a Hetzner customer, and my prices did not increase by 3x (it was more like 1.25x) and the price increase was communicated months in advance and several times. I am running stuff on their older infra, so maybe they handled it differently? When hardwares price go up at least 4x for storage and ram, I don't see how you can avoid price increases and they are still one of the cheaper/cheape…
>When hardwares price go up at least 4x for storage and ram, I don't see how you can avoid price increases You said you are on older infra? So why did they increase your costs 1.25x? That old hardware has long depreciated and paid itself back many times over and you run a higher risk of an outage due to components wearing out over time. You should be asking for a discount!
Existing hardware can fail. 1.25x is very reasonable given the current insanity.
Well that's a strange way of expressing competitiveness when Hetzner is still vastly cheaper than those 3 cloud providers, despite those cost increases.

I don't know your use case... we use only dedicated root servers (from the auction) and the cost is stupidly low, we run 6 x 64GB RAM, 6TB HDDs Xeons and each of them (with the price increase) cost us like 40 euro/month, which is redoncolus (ridiculous). The only "inconvenience" is that we have to do the infra ourselves instead of having a button to click but wow, the cost savings alone are insane. A 4GB RAM/20GB disk/1vCPU in DigitalOcean costs 7 euros/month with a horrid I/O that can't even run a static site (we tried to migrate)
If you want very small servers: either get a 7$/yr vps or (upcloud if all you want is 1gb ram/1core esq server for very lightweight purposes) The thing after Hetzner's price increase is that there isn't one size fits all anymore and I guess it might not impact people like me who knows in my opinion, many providers but in this situation its a net loss for many who might be paying higher prices. So here is my small lis…
Quick glance on those two hosters and i cannot find these 7$ / y prices.
Such deals come and go, but there are other hosts with similar pricing:

are there US based providers i.e data centers in the US you recommend for cheap VPS like the one the $7/11 year VPS options you mention since most of those are European based ?
There are many deals at LowEndBox. Here is a $10/year example (Los Angeles or New York):
