Pricing was the "selling" point. People chose Hetzner for their affordable prices compared to anybody else.

But when Hetzner is priced like everyone else, it makes it harder to pick them over the giant AWS, GCP, Digital Ocean etc.



AWS does not give "bare metal" and the equivalent is still way more expensive. However Hetzner was much preferrable to let's say OVH who also "deals" bare metal but not anymore. So yes Hetzner has lost what I consider was their only advantage.


AWS, GCP are still more expensive because they are just that greedy.


digitalocean has better pricing now, im actually migrating stuff right now, gcp also but only slightly
