| Seems quite pricey to me:
|
| CPX11 - 2 shared vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 40 GB, 1TB bandwidth, EUR7.90 +
| VAT
|
| CCX13 - 2 dedicated vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 80 GB, 1TB bandwidth,
| EUR21.50 + VAT
|
| For comparison with Germany, Finland and US with 20 TB bandwidth:
| CCX12 is EUR4.35 + VAT, CCX13 is EUR12.49 + VAT
|
| People have been asking for other regions for a long time, but
| Hetzner is usually extremely good price for the specs but in this
| case the bandwidth allowance is very low (and EUR7.40+VAT/TB
| overage) and there are other providers (e.g. greencloud) who can
| beat this with their standard prices and massively beat this when
| they run promotions.

| think I was trying to change my primary email address, or maybe
| set up billing - but I was promptly logged out and my account
| was deleted. They sent me the following automated email:

| I suspected it was because I was using Apple's Private Relay
| VPN while creating the account, so I turned that off and signed
| up again with a different username/email address. No issues
| with the new account so far, but I continue to hear about other
| people having their accounts terminated.
|
| I haven't moved anything serious over to Hetzner yet, but to be
| fair I wasn't intending to unless their ARM CPUs become
| available on private instances.
