One small bit of feedback: HTTPS records were neither discovered nor imported during the zone import. I was able to manually create them but just a FYI.

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…
I am a Hetzner customer. I was in the middle of migrating infrastructure from DigitalOcean to Hetzner, most of all because DO's i/o on their droplets has been abysmal for a long time now. Hetzner's latest price increase doubled-to-tripled the costs of any new resources I would deploy there. I've now halted the migration and I am seriously considering going all the way back to colo. This most recent price increase was…

In their defence, nobody can implement auto-detecting domains well, because there's no way to efficiently enumerate DNS records. (Excluding NSEC-style enumeration, which is not always available.)
I feel like I'm missing something, AXFR?
It is supported by Akamai Edge DNS, Oracle Cloud, enterprise Cloudflare accounts, IBM NS1 Connect, ClouDNS, CloudFloorDNS, and DNS Made Easy.
So is this just a dns service? I can use their servers to service dns requests? The main webpage unfortunately has a lot of marketing speak that says a lot but doesnt really tell me what it is. Quote “ At bunny.net, our mission has always been ambitious but focused: help make the internet hop faster. To do that, we’ve built a massive global network spanning 119 locations and counting.

Its an authoritative DNS service, so it can host your domains. Compare with a recursive resolver, like 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1, which you can use to resolve domains. What's nice about Bunny DNS is that they have authoritative nameservers ~everywhere, so resolving is quick everywhere. But I think in practice this isn't that useful, since if a domain is moderately used, its DNS records will be cached ~everywhere in anycaste…
It's authoritative name servers for your domain. Compare it to AWS Route 53, Akamai Edge DNS, IBM NS1.
Just looked at their website, they don't do many loss leaders as others, for example others offer free static site hosting. But they are a private company with only one small $6m funding round back in 2022, so I think they are more focused on building organically and not chasing investor funded growth. Good luck to Bunny!
They have a $1 minimum spend across all services. You can effectively host unlimited static sites for $1.

don't compare it to a public resolver like 1.1.1.1. It's authoritative name servers for your domain. Compare it to AWS Route 53, Akamai Edge DNS, IBM NS1.

The reason I use a VPS is to not use hosted anything, personally. So I guess whether that makes it a better product or not is highly personal. Speaking for myself, I used $5 DO droplets for quite a while when learning but as soon as I switched to real projects and realized how quickly the price ramped up, I moved to Hetzner and the simplicity of their interface was a breath of fresh air. I saved a ton of time after s…
For the most part I agree but poor performance on network block storage is very limiting. Also there is no object store service available in Ashburn, its only in EU. My point is more that DO has a complete modern cloud platform, and Hetzner doesn't quite.

My website traffic was a couple megabytes per month. I paid them for about 3 years for neglegible usage. Should I have zero expectation for paying because its cheap? You can be metered or fixed price. Mixing the two in the most inuintive way possible is a true innovation. /s Other cloud based provider have the option to pay for your usage to the cent. I guess that innovation didn't reach the EU. /s
My experience with all EU providers so far is yes, you do have to prepay, I think Hetzner for exemple was 20 euros when I signed up years ago? Most likely they are unwilling to let customers pay later without any guarantee that they're good faith and solvent. Maybe it is a cultural thing? It's only my personal opinion but it never struck me as unreasonable.
I have never had to prepay anything for Hetzner, not 20y ago for servers and not for the last 5-7 years for Cloud VPS. Maybe for recent-ish signups?
Some hosters support prepaying (for example INWX where I have my domains) but I am reasonably sure you could also do other forms of payment

They are competitive price wise, but less competent human wise. Their lack of user care shows when you start talking to support. I've never had this experience with an US company (except the US giants) where support basically gives me an "it is what it is". The most recent that really put the cherry on top. I was planning on dropping them when running out of prepaid credits. ALL SaaS software I've used before that ha…
How much do you pay per month? Never expect a real human tech expert if you only pay 10$/month for something. A human talking to you for 15minutes destroys their entire profit margin on your payments for years. Unless you hit a bug or something in their system, support is expensive.

Interesting side thought, dunno if it would give any real indication, but I assume the difference between pasting a bunch of text vs typing each character would seem like a potential indicator (for now) whether someone might have used AI to respond.
If my comment is more than a few sentences, I’ll often type it up in my Notes app and paste it in. It means I don’t lose it if there’s some kind of technical issue, and I don’t run the risk of accidentally fat-fingering the Submit or Reload buttons. I do it with text messages too.
