I maintain a list[0] of tunneling software a la ngrok or Cloudflare Tunnel and open source alternatives. I'm considering entering the commercial market and offering a hosted solution.

These services tend to have very low CPU/RAM requirements, but relatively high network usage. This led me to comparing network usage pricing across VPS providers.

Somewhat ironically, Hetzer's pricing (20TB/mo for a $5 VPS) is so good that it makes me worried to build on them, because I could go from huge margins to losing money overnight if they ever raised them.

I hope storage boxes come to Singapore, they're ridiculously affordable for backups. I don't see it happening though, considering the US datacenter still doesn't have them available. I can dream I guess - the ping from AU to EU/US is so high that it takes months to backup to them, but nothing else is affordable unless you're only backing up a few TB.

80% higher cost and 20x less bandwidth. Holy cow. Singapore servers are expensive.

Love Hetzner. Can vouch for them. I run a very beefy machine on them and use Pocketbase and that is a multimillion dollar business.

Seems quite pricey to me:

CPX11 - 2 shared vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 40 GB, 1TB bandwidth, €7.90 + VAT

CCX13 - 2 dedicated vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 80 GB, 1TB bandwidth, €21.50 + VAT

For comparison with Germany, Finland and US with 20 TB bandwidth: CCX12 is €4.35 + VAT, CCX13 is €12.49 + VAT

People have been asking for other regions for a long time, but Hetzner is usually extremely good price for the specs but in this case the bandwidth allowance is very low (and €7.40+VAT/TB overage) and there are other providers (e.g. greencloud) who can beat this with their standard prices and massively beat this when they run promotions.

How does Hetzner manage to be so much cheaper than AWS & GCP? Are the other cloud providers just making THAT much margin, or does Hetzner have a special angle?

I really like the tier of service Hetzner is targeting. You can rent powerful servers for relatively cheap from them, and build your own infra on top if that's your thing. Really depends on what you want to optimize for. You can even do a hybrid setup with a cloud provider AND Hetzner, connecting them using a private net.

Great news though I wonder why we're continuing with 7002 in new locations.

I get the consistency but by now that's 2 (almost 3) generations old. Would rather have a new start. The 7002 is due for an upgrade. At some point it's no longer a price advantage when the hard is so behind.

I spent last night migrating ERPNext 80G's box from Hetzner US, Hillsboro to Singapore.

I love the seamless experience.

- Take a snapshot from US's box.

- Restore US snapshot to new Singapore box.

- Wait about 15min and it's done.

The prices are still nice, compared to Digital Ocean, Vultr, or Linode.

At this point it would be cool if Hetzner would have not only a floating IPs but also Multicast IPs.

This would be on my Wishlist super high up and it would instantly solve a big issue in routing with a robust solution.
