Hostinger VPS
Pros
- + Strong intro value: 4GB RAM / 50GB NVMe / 4TB at $6.49/mo on a 24-month term
- + Weekly backups, DDoS filtering, IPv6, dedicated IP, and a public API included
- + hPanel plus AI web terminal lowers the floor for beginners while keeping full root access
- + Modern baseline hardware: KVM isolation, AMD EPYC, NVMe, 1 Gbps ports
- + 9–10 VPS regions on four continents, with renewal rates printed next to intro prices
Cons
- - Renewals 84–123% above intro; the 24-month prepay is the only way to get the advertised rate
- - Documented throttles: 10 Mbps after the transfer cap, CPU cut 25%/hour after sustained load
- - Unmanaged — support covers panel and platform issues, not your stack
- - VPS location is fixed at setup; moving means reinstalling in another data center
- - No hourly billing, no free tier, no GPU or bare-metal options in this line
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
