Hetzner Cloud is great, but I do wish they'd offer dedicated servers in the US as well, even if it was just a fraction of their European offering.

Hetzner Cloud pricing is great, but their dedicated servers are even cheaper. For example, they offer a 16-core (32-vCPU) Ryzen 9 5950X for €103 with 128GB RAM and 2 x 3.84 TB NVMe SSDs. They offer a cloud server with 32 vCPU, 128GB RAM, and 600GB of storage for €296 - nearly triple the price and those CPU cores are probably not as good since they're likely Zen2 cores rather than the Zen3 cores of the Ryzen 9 5950X.

I know, benchmarks aren't everything, but the Ryzen is getting 1,432 per vCPU while the EPYC is getting 766.

The AX51 costs €59 for 8 Zen2 cores (16 vCPU) and 64GB RAM while the CCX41 costs €154 for 16 vCPU and 64GB RAM.

I know, the cloud servers come with flexibility, hourly billing, and no set-up fees. I also know that their cloud pricing is very good. Still, I wish I could get a few AX101s in the US. 3 AX101 servers would be €310/mo, each with 16 Zen3 cores, 128GB RAM, and 2x 3.8TB of storage.
