Hetzner lowers pricing of Intel cloud servers (opens in new tab)

They wouldn't have had such increased energy costs had their data centers not been in Germany. There's a reason most are in the Nordics, UK, France etc. cold-ish places and/or with cheap energy.

IIRC it was around 33% increase, not 3x.

If you believe Hetzner is a “cloud” platform like AWS, just because they offer VPSs and some form of block storage, you might want to explore beyond the EC2 section of your AWS console.

But a lot easier to get started and do simple things.

The "dedicated server" / "private cloud" market is a garbage fire of manual one-off hackery where you have to talk to a human in order to do relatively simple things that are a couple of clicks on even "2nd tier" VPS platforms. Want to increase the limit for the number of servers on your account? Call us. Want to add a new employee to your team? Call us.

Earlier this year, my team evaluated about 10 different providers, including PhoenixNAP, and only maybe 2-3 of them allowed us to (1) create an account, (2) add team members, and (3) deploy a server without manual intervention. And often these simple tasks required multiple rounds of manual debugging with the support team.

Or use java. Write once, run everywhere. I am still amazed, that the switch to arm was so easy.

I seem to recall they had intel and and at same

I've been a happy customer of Netcup for many years now. If you don't need automation but just servers which you know you'll be running for years, they have a better price/performance ratio than Hetzner. But you should wait for their seasonal discounts, like easter, summer or the like, where they have really good offerings. Hetzner is more professional, though.
