Ask HN: Alternatives for low-tier Hetzner VPS

3 points by mkup 8y ago ↗ HN

Currently Hetzner has an outage in their core network caused by simultaneous failure of fsn1-dc8-ex9k1 and fsn1-dc8-ex9k2 redundant routers, so all of my VPSes and their web administration dashboard suddenly become unreachable.

I'm looking for good alternative for Hetzner, to transfer half of my virtual servers. Is there something like 2+ Gb RAM, 40+ Gb SSD, 2+ TB/month traffic, with FreeBSD support for 7 USD/month or less?

I'm not sure about the FreeBSD Support but OVH and Digital Ocean are both reasonable VPS providers that can help you out in this situation.

I personally use OVH for VPS hosting due to their low costs and near-zero downtime.

DigitalOcean would be $10/month for your requirements and is pretty good. It is a little above your price range though.

I have very good experiences with Scaleway (https://www.scaleway.com/). The Baremetal C1 are dedicated servers with 2GB memory, 50GB SSD, 200 Mbits/s, and unlimited traffic, for 3.50 USD/month.

Vultr for VPS or Online.net for cheap dedicated servers. Both support FreeBSD.
