Best price-to-performance ratio in Europe
I've been running three side-project servers on Hetzner Cloud for about two years now. The CX21 instances handle my Node.js apps with ease, and the network performance between their Nuremberg and Helsinki DCs is excellent.
The API is clean and well-documented — I automated my entire deployment pipeline with Terraform and their API in an afternoon. Block storage and load balancers just work.
Only minor gripe: support responses can take 12-24 hours on the free tier, but they're always thorough when they do reply. For the price you pay, you simply cannot beat Hetzner.
