Linode is a good small cloud too in my experience. Personally, I would steer clear of Hetzner and OVH, but that still leaves various low-cost small clouds on the table. In my experience, Hetzner disables accounts without warning if you run at 100% for too long. OVH is good for alpha software that is okay with a week-long unannounced downtime and full data loss.

Due to inflation, the cost equation is rapidly changing to where lowering cloud expenses is vital.

I have been using OVH since 2005. Still waiting to loose my data.

Uptime wise I had 2 outages last December with one of my server with them (electrical issue). Prior to that I don’t even remember, maybe in 2018 or something. Thankfully I had no server in Strasbourg, I saw pictures of their containers datacenter there and decided to choose Roubaix.

OVH is great if you need a lot of bandwidth. Servers price are no longer as competitive as before.

With OVH the issue is more about prolonged multi-day downtimes; this is unsuitable for most production applications. I had given OVH a fair chance.
