Hetzner pricing
Hetzner Cloud is the price-leader for European workloads. Bare-metal economics, NVMe-by-default storage, simple flat-rate billing, and integrated 20 TB egress per VM make it 3 to 5x cheaper than US hyperscalers for steady-state workloads. Smaller catalogue, EU-focused regions.
- ▸Cheapest USD/GB-RAM and USD/vCPU in EU
- ▸20 TB egress included per VM (free for most workloads)
- ▸NVMe storage default, transparent pricing
- ▸EU-centric (Falkenstein, Nuremberg, Helsinki, Ashburn US)
- ▸Smaller managed-services catalogue (no RDS-equivalent)
- ▸Support is email-based, not 24/7 enterprise
