Hetzner ARM (Ampere)
Pros
- + Cheapest way to buy Hetzner compute per core
- + Real server silicon — Ampere Altra (Neoverse-N1), ECC RAM, NVMe
- + Hourly billing with monthly cap, 20TB included traffic, free IPv6
- + Free automated DDoS protection and the full Hetzner Cloud API/platform
- + Mature arm64 software ecosystem covers most open-source stacks
Cons
- - x86 and Arm are separate worlds — no rescale, backup or snapshot crossover
- - Cost-Optimized placement means limited stock and EU-only locations for CAX
- - Launch-era pricing is gone; entry cost has risen
- - Shared vCPUs and modest single-core speed
- - Backups and snapshots cost extra; unmanaged servers
Webdock
Pros
- + Own Danish datacenter (DK-DC1) — owned hardware, EU data residency, GDPR by design
- + Aggressive value: €2.15/mo entry plan with SSL, daily backups, and 5 automated + 3 on-demand snapshots included
- + Semi-managed support that users rate highly, plus a free in-house control panel instead of paid cPanel
- + Transparent pricing: no renewal hikes, no transfer fees, month-to-month with optional discounts for longer terms
- + Profile Builder lets you tune CPU/RAM/disk/bandwidth with live pricing and snapshot rollback
Cons
- - Single datacenter only — the Finland location was retired, so there is no geographic redundancy or non-EU region
- - 99.9% uptime is a stated target without a formal credit-backed SLA document we could find
- - 1 TB outgoing transfer cap on the small plans is tight for media-heavy workloads
- - Small vendor (~19 staff) with no managed Kubernetes, object storage, or global network products
- - Pricing page lists identical memory/disk figures for Essential and Advanced as published — confirm exact specs before purchase
