There is also https://www.hetzner.com/ (IaaS), https://www.leaseweb.com/en/ (IaaS) and https://www.nodion.com/en/ (PaaS). Disclaimer: I am the founder of Nodion.

I don't think describing Hetzner as IaaS is very accurate. They do offer that as well, but also dedicated servers, VPS and more.

Personally I use Hetzner exclusively for their cheap and unmetered dedicated servers, as I don't like paying per GB used or similar, I want one static cost per month regardless of anything.

In fact, when I think about it, most other Hetzner users I've met have similar objectives and I don't think I've met anyone around me in real-life that was using the IaaS part of Hetzner.

Haven’t heard of Nodion before. What is your main selling point? What does it do different from just reselling Leaseweb?

Have a hard time take this serious without hetzner

They don't have any cloud or abstraction. You basically rent bare metal servers.

Hetzner is of the opinion that they have a cloud https://www.hetzner.com/cloud

Whether it has enough features to satisfy your needs is another question, but it is more than just bare metal or vps

Surprised to not see Ubicloud in there, which provides cloud services on top of various (including European) infra providers. https://www.ubicloud.com/

Not a European company are they though. Worst of both worlds as they come under US and EU regulation.

It's missing out on small, yet good and reliable providers.

Some examples:

Tilaa (NL) - https://www.tilaa.com/en/

Offering compute, storage, databases, containers, you name it. And having personal experience with these guys I can tell you they are awesome. Want to host your stuff specifically in a CO2 neutral DC? They can do that too.

Leafcloud (NL) - https://leaf.cloud/

Green OpenStack based cloud provider

Stuxhost (NL/DE) - https://stuxhost.com

Focused on managed NextCloud hosting, managed webhosting and VPN

And there are hundreds more, actually.
