Not there yet is relative. They are missing some of the most complex features and services but for 90% of the applications they have what's needed.
Hetzner is great and way cheaper than the big clouds. Managing your own servers is a great skill to develop, and you’ll save tons of money too.
I love the cost transparency. You will know exactly what the machine is going to cost for a month and will not end up with a surprising bill about logging just because you forgot to uncheck one checkbox.
Let’s all get off those American servers!
Most of the providers are targeting web hosting and general fairly constant load. We have bursts load and use queue based scaling in AWS. Does anyone know of any service that can do that?
Anyone have experience with OVH? Is it good?
I have used them on on the tedomum.net matrix instance and it works great.
The website for the Quebec provincial party Parti Québécois is hosted there.
They had a fire and they used it to fuck their customers over, kept charging for services that were in the literal cloud for months, with no help from support.
I have literally never heard of any of those
That'll be the post doing it's job 👍😉
I remember OVH being the preeminent server provider back in the early 2000s, before "the cloud" and the big American tech companies took over.
I know this is a little off topic, but what's a good alternative to Backblaze?
I actually think BB are doing good things, ie with their harddrive reports, etc. But, still, I'd like to consider somewhere more local for my data...
Back blaze does backups, right?
For back ups, I use a storage box in hetzner. Dirt cheap and then connect to it using Borg backup. Compresses and encrypts your data
Yeah, backups... Ok, cool, I'd not looked at Hetzner storage boxes. Thanks
I love hetzner.
It's a good thing you posted this on a server hosted in the Netherlands...
