Good point which I forgot to mention in the article.

There are not a Linodes or Digital Oceans in Iceland so it’s definitely more expensive. I think it’s safe to say it’s almost double the price if you buy a VPS with similar specs. Check out 1984hosting.com or orangewebsite.com to figure out for yourself.

As someone who now exclusively hosts in Iceland + Finland for two very freedom of speech and arguably good privacy countries, Iceland costs me twice as much as Finland.

Put into perspective, I pay the equivalent of 100eur in Iceland for a decent sized server (64GB memory, 4TB storage, and my own subnet announced), and in Finland I pay 34eur for the exact same specifications.
