Cloud Servers · $118.99/mo (24 GB RAM, 12 vCPU, 480 GB SSD/NVMe, 20000 GB transfer)
Hetzner's CPX52 is expensive at $118.99/mo, especially given recent 2.4-2.75x price hikes in June 2026 and VAT exclusions. Several providers offer comparable or superior specs at 50-75% lower cost, though most lock you into multi-year contracts at intro rates with steep renewals.
12GB RAM, 6 vCPU, 300GB NVMe, unlimited traffic at just $17.44/mo (24-month term) - less than 15% of Hetzner's price for half the vCPU but still strong specs.
Caveat: Quoted price is 24-month prepaid rate; 1 or 12-month terms cost significantly more per month, and fair usage policy can throttle sustained high-bandwidth usage.
12GB RAM, 6 vCPU, 100GB NVMe, unlimited traffic, 99.99% SLA, and daily backups at just $12.32/mo - excellent value for smaller workloads.
Caveat: Only 100GB storage vs Hetzner's 480GB; IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026.
32GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 400GB NVMe, 32TB transfer at $25.99/mo intro - actually more RAM than Hetzner for 78% less, with weekly backups and 1 Gbps port.
Caveat: Intro price requires 12/24/48-month prepay; renewal jumps to $49.99/mo (92% increase); free domain only year one.
16GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 450GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth at $17.67/mo intro - matches Hetzner's storage and exceeds vCPU count for 85% savings.
Caveat: Intro pricing requires 36-month prepay; renewal rates 2-4x higher; domain free year one only; aggressive upsells for SiteLock/backup add-ons.
16GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 480GB NVMe (matches Hetzner's storage exactly), unlimited traffic up to 1 Gbit/s, 99.99% SLA at $22/mo.
Caveat: Intro pricing is promotional (1-year contract); renewal pricing 2-6x higher; outbound traffic beyond 2TB pooled allowance is metered at $0.036/GB.
