I think hetzner has servers in Germany and Finland only, not the right choice for most people here.

Hosting in Finland and Germany is a great choice for a lot of the right reasons.

Additionally, because it is hosted in Germany, you need to send them a copy of your ID and I found that their support was quite amateurish. So for me the process was: Go to hetzner.de, create an account, it gets instantly closed because you have a UK driving licence but were born elsewhere (perhaps too complicated for them?).

Never had that from AWS or OVH.
