Not OP, but I believe Hetzner may not have dedicated options in US DCs.

I know Hetzner doesn't have physical servers in the US (yet)

This was more a question of "why physical" and "why in the US" :)

Yeah, US is only for cloud products at the moment

Correct. This is the only reason.

We are an SaaS provider and customers demand to be hosted in US for various reasons

(a) They think they will get better performance/latency (although in our application it does not matter much) (b) For various compliance

We had been using co-location so far for US but we don't want to continue this road because of high investment (especially when compared with Hetzner) and higher responsibilities (hardware issues, inventory).

I suspected it might have to do with [perceived/actual] 'compliance' needs

I've heard of Server Mania (https://www.servermania.com/dedicated-servers-hosting.htm)

Not sure if they might fit the bill?

Of course, there are several cloud providers who could likely slot-in for you (Vultr, Digital Ocean, Chunk Host, AWS, GCP, Heztner, Azure ...)
