That 22€ instance is shared cpu, and they do get oversubscribed. The dedicated vcpu ones are more comparable to AWS and at 70€ they are still a lot less expensive than AWS. Then there is the free egress bandwidth (up to 20TB per instance) and unlimited free internal bandwidth.

The main shortcoming of the US deployment so far is no HDD storage available. I hope they can offer that soon, even if no dedicated servers. Their biggest StorageBox plan (basically scp/rsync storage though sshfs works) is 40€/month for 10TB or so. The cloud servers have SSD block storage available but it is .04€/m for 1GB i.e. 10x more expensive (though a lot more flexible) than StorageBox.
