Really prefer Hetzner in this sense because they actually talk about limits. I recently got myself a hetzner account (after shilling it for so much, hearing positivity, I felt like it was time for me to discover it)
I wanted to try out the most cheapest option out of frugality & that was actually limited (but kudos to them that they mentioned that these servers have limits) so no worries I went and picked the 5.99 euro instead of the 3.99 euro option instead.
They also have limits option itself as a settings iirc and it shows you all the limits that are imposed in a transparent manner and my account's young so I can't request for limit increases but after some time, one definitely can.
Essentially I love this idea because essentially Cloud is just someone's else's hardware and there is no infinitium. But I feel as if it can come pretty close with hetzner (and I have heard some great things about OVH and have a good personal experience with netcup vps but netcup's payments were really PITA to setup]
Hetzner is a dedicated server (meaning monthly contract, 1 month setup fee and up to 1 week delivery time) company that branched out into cloud, so it's not that surprising they treat cloud a bit like that. While Amazon wants you to think they have an infinite capacity pool, and any failure to get a server is an unexpected error, Hetzner seems to not hide they have a finite number of servers in a finite number of racks, since that's how their main business works.
