Straight answers about ranking methodology, pricing and choosing the right plan.
On hourly clouds, Linode Nanode $5 and Vultr $5 still undercut DigitalOcean’s $6 1 GB droplet. OVH US VPS-1 starts near $4.54. Check the city, not only the country.
Hetzner Cloud exists in Ashburn and Hillsboro. Entry CX prices there are higher than Germany/Finland. Use this USA filter and compare, or see VPS in Germany for EU CX.
Match the users. Newark/Ashburn for the East and Europe; Fremont/Hillsboro/LA for the West and APAC. A single “USA” SKU can still be 70 ms away.
Some clouds include one IPv4; Hetzner often bills IPv4 as an add-on. The catalog price is the VM. Add IPv4 on the provider checkout if you need it.
