I have a tiny Hetzner VPS (2 vCPUs, 2 Gb RAM) in their west us datacenter that costs me $5.59 a month. I get 1 TB a month free outgoing bandwidth and unlimited incoming bandwidth, plus additional outgoing bandwidth at a rate of $1.20 per TB. I host my personal project's git LFS server there, a file server, and a Caddy instance that proxies over Tailscale to a more powerful box in my apartment. It's a great homelab architecture and I couldn't be happier with it. Thanks Hetzner!

They still have VPSes with 2G of RAM? I'm checking the cloud price page* and you can get CX23 with 2 vCPU, 4G RAM and 20TB of traffic (seems to say that it's 1TB for US) for 3,49€/month (~4 USD).

You can save additional 0,50€ if you go with only IPv6.

Maybe it's location dependent, I can't get it to show me prices for US.

Hi there, At the top of the website, you should be able to choose euros or dollars and the VAT rate. When people become customers and create a full customer account, we ask them to choose between euros or dollars, and then using the customer's location from their account, we automatically apply the correct VAT. So customers see the correct price on the interface where customers create their orders. But you may have to set it manually on the website. --Katie
Yep, just checked, 2 GB RAM. That CX23 sounds like a great deal, 20 TB of free outgoing is ridiculous. But I live in west us and I rarely hit my 1 TB free bandwidth cap anyway, so the added latency isn't worth it
I think they retired a bunch of machines one or two weeks ago. I was prompted to upgrade my machine at no extra cost, anyway.
Thanks for the shout-out! We're really glad you're happy with it :D --Katie
