Recent Linux kernels finally support these CPUs (do they have full support?), but if you host a service where you want predictable (and fast) response times why you use the mix of both cores? Or would you just turn off those efficient cores for the server-side usage?
it keeps bringing me to a 500 error, and now i'm banned for 60 seconds with "Request on Hold - Suspicous Activity Detected" ...? edit: seems the entire hetzner site is doing this, redirecting me to /_ray/pow which is an error
Have you even considered that you are a robot?
Gosh, I wish there were something similar in the US. Right now I'm on the IONOS "server of the month[1]," which is $33/mo for dedicated six-core, 16GB, 1TB HDD. I run game servers, which could benefit from SSDs and more RAM, but I'm priced out. I'd take the 44€ config in a heartbeat. Is anybody aware of anything that's price competitive in the US (or within a 50ms ping)? [1] https://www.ionos.com/servers/value-dedica…
OVH [1] is not quite as cheap, but I can't really think of anyone else in the area that is totally comparable. One draw of OVH, Hetzner, etc, for me over the truly small, cheap dedicated server providers is they both have pretty decent networks and free DDoS mitigation, which is really nice for things like game servers and such where CloudFlare isn't an option.
OVH's sub-brands like SoYouStart [2] will sell you decently specced dedicated servers started at around $30 a month in Quebec, which tends to be more than good enough for most of my "US" needs.
They do have a couple datacenters in the United States too, not just Canada (+ quite a few in Europe, one in Singapore, some in Australia, etc), but I believe the Virginia/Oregon servers aren't available on the cheaper SYS site -- still cheap, though, but not quite $30 cheap.

I rent one AX101 and it has been extremely good value. The thing is so cheap and fast. However my first one did often reboot randomly and the support wasn’t very helpful. They told me to just rent another one, which I did. The second one rebooted randomly once in about a year. I guess the first one went on auction and still happily reboots. Hetzner feels like a hard discount cloud provider. I still prefer them over A…
Hu, weird. We run 15 AX101 instances, 13 for Elasticsearch and 3 for ScyllaDB, and I haven't had one reboot yet. Though even if they did it would not impact the stability of our databases.
I have been working in the industry since 20 years and i have not a single bad word to loose about Hetzner. Their Service has always been impeccable and their servers just run. I have been running k8s clusters on hetzner for quite some time now and the flexibility for the price is exactly what i expect from a hoster! Now with this addition Hetzner closes another gap that made projects spends thousands more on enterpr…
I heard the devops guys at a previous job wrote a script to detect CPU fan failures. Then got asked to stop sending so many emails about CPU fan failures. Was still worth it because it's cheap, but they're cheap because it's not new and reliable hardware.
When these guys open up dedicated servers in a USA region it's going to be huge. Unfortunately, at the moment only the cloud offering is available in the USA so you're stuck with a bit of latency round tripping to the EU.

Even Herzner cloud just works and I don't know how they do it but it's dirt cheap.
I'm considering using Hetzner (or equivalent) for our CI setup with Github Actions custom runners. Right now we're on CircleCI and it costs an arm and a leg. Does anyone have experience to share with that kind of setup? What's the maintenance like?
I'm using Hetzner for our CI setup with GitLab-runners. With a simple cloud.init script, it's cheap and I have nearly 0 maintenance: https://gitlab.com/21analytics/gitlab-runner-cloud-init
