The more surprising part is that there are companies I've never heard of that cost even more.
Those are app platforms, so I guess they price it that way to discourage certain bandwith intensive usage.
I think it's exactly that. They are targeted at bootstrapping projects and prototyping and are, frankly, very good at that job.
Hetzner is wild at how cheap you get hardware and included traffic.
German providers in general, everywhere is very expensive compared to these prices.
I have a vps at ionos, 400Mbit unlimited network traffic, 1vcore, 500MB RAM, 10GB SSD. Bad specs, but for just 2€/month, including 1 public IPv4 address, I am really pleased with the offering.
Ionos.. not a good provider.
Great it works for you, but i wouldnt touch them with a long pole.
Created by an old internet provider (which is also not very good..), pulling every shady marketing trick weird "cloud" providers have..
Contabo is very cheap too, but i wouldnt trust them with critical stuff.
Netcup is next, quite good and still cheap.
Hetzner is very nice, but the cloud offers are expensive. the dedicated server offers though.. holy sweetness, specially the auction servers.
Dont forget smaller providers either, they can have some good stuff, but cannot really compete with the big players. (i have one for clean ip space for mail)
Over the years hosting i learned that paying slightly more is often worth it depending on the needs.
And as my requirements went up, i moved up in the tiers. If you have a need for the dedicated servers, gets cheaper for what you get (though you need to manage the hardware side then too..)
Oh and dont forget the Oracle free offers. I dont really trust Oracle, but free compute is free.. maybe dont store sensitive stuff though
Could you list anything specific?
It's obvious that you will want to get a better provider when your needs scale up. But for the specs I posted I don't see any reason to leave ionos.
When i was with a customer who was using one of ther VPS offers, performance was unexpectedly low and upon contacting support it was clear the small fish dont get great support answers, but rather pushed to the FAQ.
And i personally find their offerings and marketing scummy. Big promotional prices, but always some small print with a higher price after x Months.
Or just stuff thats not included by default.
I never had that with other (also very cheap) providers.
As long as it works great for you, i wouldnt see a reason to leave.
There arent that many providers offering such small ressources at all or at such a price. To be fair, not much one can do with those specs.. 10GB storage is very limited already.
But for those specs.. always free oracle tier would work too (though requires a credit card).
I was naive and didn’t know things got cheaper than Bunny. I’ll have to investigate this.
Not sure on your use case, but I've been using Hetzner for a while and it does what it says on the tin.
For a fun comparison, a reasonable 1TB USB Stick costs slightly less than 1TB of AWS egress.
For a serious comparison, I'm not sure I'd call that "reasonable". A lot of use cases would very quickly exceed that drive's wear levelling and render it unusable.
You can shove most services behind cloudflare's CDN with a bit of jiggery pokery. I've used netlify + cloudflare's free tiers to great success a few times now.
This makes a lot of sense if you’re delivering static content. Cloudflare even has the Super Slurper which serves your S3 content and migrates it seamlessly to Cloudflare’s competitor R2 service, after which your egress is free.
You don't buy bandwidth in a vacuum and a lot of providers bundle costs based on services or duration. I would take this whole list with a grain of salt.
