For a while now I've considered moving my hosting to Hetzner.
I've only got a few personal sites running, so the cheaper I can host them the better. Based on the price and specs, the change is a no-brainer:
| Provider | CPU | RAM | Monthly Price | Servers | Monthly Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DigitalOcean | 1 vCPU | 1 GB | $7 | 2 | $14 |
| Hetzner | 2 vCPU | 2 GB | $5.56 | 1 | $5.56 |
Nothing against DigitalOcean, I've been with them for a few years now and I have nothing to complain about.
Anyways, as of today the change is done and the migration was super swift - I only had to update my deployment scripts to use the new servers and migrate the DB data.
Au revoir, DigitalOcean! 👋
I would add a referral link to Hetzner but I can't get one since my account is too new.
