I've heard that Hetzner is a good provider, so I want to buy a cheap unmanaged VPS server in the USA. But can not find any mention about VPS. Any help, please? Just need to replace this one (the same bad story $$$ as Netlify recently): https://www.leaseweb.com/fr/cloud/virtual-server

That's terrifying. Did they at least give you time to backup your data?
Please note that Hetzner does this only in couple cases: a) fake account data ; b) previous strikes (unpaid invoices, abuse etc..) with them ; c) in some cases customer is from country they do not do business with. I bet gazzilion OP above is within a or b

I've only ever heard fantastic things about Hetzner. I'm shocked PE hasn't bought them yet and raised prices.
So had I, until I actually tried to sign up. Have a look at the way they treat you when they have (unfounded) suspicions. It's beyond ridiculous.

Can you elaborate? I have a VPS and a storage box on Hetzner and I'm so far satisfied with it, minus the sometimes confusing interface between their different products.

Meh, ymmv. I migrated a bunch of stuff from OVH->Hetzner a few years ago and the support experience was absolutely, insanely, beyond-belief bad. P1 call having to explain "what's an ip address" to their 'engineers'. About 6 hours after we moved prod over, they brought down my EIPs for like 4 hours because of a route they didn't understand and flagged as spam, and in the end we rolled back the migration and cancelled…
If you are referring to the eth stuff, everything to do with crypto is banned on hetzner
This is actually great. I maintain a library[1] for interacting with the Robot interface using Rust, but testing is heavily gated because of the potential costs it might incur, which is why a lot of the purchasing/cancellation APIs haven't been thoroughly tested. With this billing, I'll be able to do thorough integration testing without breaking the bank. And of course with hourly billing, horizontal scaling becomes…
At the moment there is still a one-time order fee for dedicated servers and the docs don’t clarify if it will remain.

s/‘s/s,/ Otherwise the VM possessive reads like: Cloud = VM’s Robot = bare metal
Consequently cloud = bare metal; which agrees with the axiom that "it's not a cloud, it's just someone else's computer".
But tech people love to come up with new definitions for the same terms all the time, so anything goes.

Have you reached out to Hetzner? Feels like they should waive those bills in exchange for the free dev work you do for them.

> How do they decide when the server is "used"? If you turned on the server, it's being used.
A server that is simply turned on does not necessarily mean it is "in use."
