I hope storage boxes come to Singapore, they're ridiculously affordable for backups. I don't see it happening though, considering the US datacenter still doesn't have them available. I can dream I guess - the ping from AU to EU/US is so high that it takes months to backup to them, but nothing else is affordable unless you're only backing up a few TB.

Never underestimate the bandwidth of a jumbo jet full of hard drives flying on the gulfstream?

It's cheap but it's not fast. Try benchmarking it first. I was getting better speeds with a commercial VPN provider then my own Hetzner server (both over wire guard). That's for a single person

I spent last night migrating ERPNext 80G's box from Hetzner US, Hillsboro to Singapore.

I love the seamless experience.

- Take a snapshot from US's box.

- Restore US snapshot to new Singapore box.

- Wait about 15min and it's done.

The prices are still nice, compared to Digital Ocean, Vultr, or Linode.

As a data point, you can put a lot of VMs onto a single dedicated server, depending (of course) on how you spec it out:

Their dedicated servers also have "unlimited" traffic, though as a sibling comment mentions, there might be some kind of unstated limit after all.

How big is the raw data set you're backing up? :)

R.I.P. G Suite Business. I had an incredible run with it.

I really like the tier of service Hetzner is targeting. You can rent powerful servers for relatively cheap from them, and build your own infra on top if that's your thing. Really depends on what you want to optimize for. You can even do a hybrid setup with a cloud provider AND Hetzner, connecting them using a private net.
