HostHatch
Pros
- + Excellent NVMe/RAM per dollar on AMD EPYC with published dedicated-core counts
- + 16 locations including less-common cities (Oslo, Warsaw, Madrid, Sydney)
- + Real network features: 40 GbE, private VLANs, routed /64 IPv6, BYOIP/BGP, ISO uploads
- + Cheap bulk storage: 1TB at $5/mo up to 10TB at $38/mo
- + Privately funded, no investor pressure; in-house control panel (Peregrine) and REST API
Cons
- - No published uptime SLA or credit schedule
- - Automated backups cost 20% of the VM price per month; snapshots only in select locations
- - 7-day refund only for HostHatch-caused problems, with evidence required
- - Location-varying prices and APAC bandwidth cuts are easy to miss on the plan page
- - Small team; support response times vary, and promo stock limits (4 VMs) frustrate scaling
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
