servinga
Pros
- + Own hardware and network at 9 locations across 8 European countries plus Dallas, deployable at every tier
- + Transparent prepaid pricing with published per-unit upgrade costs and a throttle-not-suspend traffic policy
- + Backup slot with auto-backup, IPv4 + IPv6, KVM root access and 90-second provisioning included as standard
- + €3/month IPv6-only line with optional /64 subnet is strong value for network-centric workloads
Cons
- - Uplinks capped at 100-500 Mbit/s (gigabit is a paid upgrade); no CPU models published
- - Entry plan is thin (1 vCPU/1 GB, Linux only) and Windows effectively starts at €10/month
- - 48-hour money-back window is too short to load-test; support is ticket-based on a self-managed product
- - Less compute per euro than measured leaders like Hetzner Cloud at the 2-4 GB tier
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
