Had a server with them for more than 10 years. Had they eliminated the setup fee, they would get more of my money for sure for small projects.

They often have a couple of servers with no setup.

The setup fee is a one-time fee though, so if you have a server for many years that won't hurt so much. I pay around €30/month for the server I am renting but I know it will last a long time even if I get spikes on any on my many projects. For a 8 core, 16GB droplet/vps at DigitalOcean it will cost you ~$96/month. The performance is better at Hetzner for about 1/3 the cost.
Yes. I'm talking about occasional needs for a small server for a month or two.

Why not go with hertzner cloud? No setup fees and you'll be billed by the usage. Still cheaper than other cloud providers.

The VM performance tax is huge. Also, no GPU and limited/paid traffic (large limit though).
Use the server auction? No setup fee then.

They have VPS cloud offerings similar to DigitalOcean as well, with no setup fees.

I don't work at Hetzner, I live in Sweden. I'm just a happy customer giving praise for a company that really doesn't get so much attention.
With all big american companies seemingly getting so much attention nowadays, I am glad for the European alternatives that we have where you don't have to ship your customers data to the three letter agencies.
