I see Hetzner mentioned often due to their great value, but given their EU location I’d imagine the latency isn’t ideal. I’m curious what your experience is.
When I’m looking for a cheap dedi box I use OVH or one of their related companies since they have Canada DCs which are closer.
Obviously if you are in the EU, Hetzner and scaleway are a great option.
I'm in Europe, but most of my users are based in the US. The ping seems to be in the low 100s for my users and the price is really low compared to AWS/GCP/Azure (about $450 vs $2500). I think it's pretty much worth it.
I'm from the US and my personal website has been hosted through hetzner for 3+ years. From the US, I typically got around 120-130ms ping before I put it behind cloudflare.
