Scaleway and OVH are also great if you have clients or audience in the EU. Hetzner is just a reseller of others' infra but it's also nice. Kind of annoying how they ask for your ID and issue randomly generated login names, but the platform is good.

That's BS, they own every single Data-center, never had to send an ID and my login name is the same since beginning.

I think you don't talk about hetzner.

I signed up for their storage offer (that you manage via their Konsole tool), and the first thing they needed to let me use my account was a scan of my ID. They even required a photo of me holding it.

Good couple of years ago when I decided to give Hetzner a shot, they sent me... a papper contract by post, and then... asked to sign a copy and send back. That was the last time I've ever dealt with them.

> Hetzner is just a reseller of others' infra

Could you elaborate on this? Whose infra are they selling? Could I get it directly from them?

They have their own data centers don't they?
