Seconding, have had nothing positive experiences with Hetzner. In fact they are the ones hosting this very Lemmy instance - that’s where the federate.cc VM is!
Hetzner VMs generally, there are a couple of issues I’ve needed to workaround like private IP assignment with terraform, but other than that, if you’re comfortable deploying a k8s cluster yourself, just throw things on the cluster. The VMs aren’t the fastest but they give the biggest bang for your buck.
I’m currently experimenting with scaleway, but the cost is pretty high, so I’ll probably just migrate over to dedicated machines in hetzner and add more machines as the cluster grows
Which ones are you using? I only have worked with hetzner, ionos and ovh, with mixed results.
I’ve used Digital Ocean, Hetzner and OVH just because they’re cheap. It depends on your expectations.
Digital Ocean is American, tho.
Never said they weren’t
OP mentioned about EU based ones, that’s what I asked about.
I like Hetzner, what kind of issues did you have with them?
