Prices are going insane, and I am going for an alternative provider in the US.

I have 5 app nodes, 2 background workers, 1 DB replica, and 4 dev/staging instances.

On new Hetzner US pricing:

5 x CCX23 (app nodes): $514.95/mo 2 x CCX13 (workers): $101.98/mo 1 x CCX23 (DB replica): $102.99/mo 4 x CX33 (dev/staging): $39.96/mo Total: ~$759/mo or $9,108/year

On 3HCloud with equivalent specs:

5 x 16 GB 4 vCPU dedicated: $160/mo 2 x 8 GB 2 vCPU dedicated: $32/mo 1 x 16 GB 4 vCPU dedicated: $32/mo 4 x 4 GB 2 vCPU shared: $24/mo Storage ~250 GB total (SSD smart): ~$7.50/mo Total: ~$255/mo or $3,066/year

I will let you do the math.

Also they're mostly a VPS provider with some "dedicated servers" available after you talk to sales.

Hetzner is great because you can build from dedicated servers your own infra and not suffer the multi tenant issues on virtualized servers. (IOPS exhaustion for example)

Looks great. But will 3hCloud be able to sustain those prices?

    I don't think anyone can guarantee anything here, but I am going to bet that they will be a better-priced alternative.
