Why not ovh's option called kimsufi or not Hetzner?
Hetzner was likely excluded because they have a habit of preventing signups, randomly banning accounts, or blackholing traffic exactly when your app is taking off because their shitty tech thinks your system was compromised or under a DDOS attack.

Is this anecdotal or based on widespread publicly available evidence? Not meant as an accusation, but it’s the first time I’m hearing this and it’s slightly alarming
> Linode had the slowest cpus at just under 2Ghz Uhh, a statement like this somewhat hurts the ability to trust the other claims of the benchmark. Sure, Linode has the lowest clock speed, but you're comparing Epyc Milan which is almost a decade newer than the Sandy-Bridge EP of Cloudfanatic for example. Unsurprisingly, this is even reflected in the one cpu benchmark run, geekbench, which Linode comes first in.
Why?

Sure, but also take into consideration that the Linode instance costs $48/month while the Cloudfanatic one costs $18/month. Both of them have the same amount of CPU cores too.
Seems like this is a Linode problem of offering old hardware, instead of a problem with the benchmark itself.

Hertzner is pretty great

Tbh, many comments here are FUD and downvotes by big tech employees. And somehow DO is HN’s little baby or something. They did have great ads during their launch period. Hertzner is pretty great
Hetzner is pretty terrible.

Why in the world do you think “big tech” would single out one shitty German hosting company not even covered by the post in question, and I can't just be one pissed off ex-customer warning others to stay far away? Hetzner is pretty terrible.
