It's must be said Hetzner have much cheaper offers on their auction: https://robot.your-server.de/order/market

There also have no setup cost for these dedicated servers.

They're also worryingly keen on non-ECC machines at the low end though

The OVH numbers are wrong. For example in the public cloud for $ 80 you get 60GB RAM, 4 vcores and 400 GB disk (or 200 GB SSD no raid).

Could you link the offer? I couldn’t find any in their VPS or Dedicated offers better than the 16$ VPS (which I then used for the 40$ and 80$ tier, too)

Well, you are comparing shitty atom cores to E5 cores. These are just some random numbers without context.

Well, I’m just extending the previous’ posters list.

But Amazon will lower your CPU quota as well, if you use it for too long, so it’s not like the numbers of Amazon themselves even really mean anything.

The same story with storage performance – Amazon’s is horrible, but it’s network-attached.
