I wonder if hetzner had better uptime in EU than AWS this year.

Why no love for OVH?

I find Hetzner's UI to be super-confusing, making it hard to manage things.

At the rate that people claim AWS us-east to go down, folks will argue that OVH has a tendency to go up in flames!
Who said anything about ui? I just grab my project write key and Codex handles it all, no UI from idea to production at all.
How do you know it isn't spending $99999 a month,m
OVH datacenters occasionally burn down.
ovh rocks, they are also far more customer support friendly than hetzner. Half the time hetzner feels like they are doing you a favor by letting you rent servers from them.

Ovh is way simpler, and openstack integration from them works good enough for most of my needs.

Kinda insane how atrocious docs are tho. No .md markdown format to let agents read stuff yet -_-

They once had offerings for dedicated servers without hard drivers. They did network boot from NFS. So the costs where between a full dedicated server and a virtual one. Sadly it was very badly engineered. Small disk IO was so bad that you basically couldn't run MySQL. I did run a MX. For every mail postfix would complained that the filesystem did run a few secondes in the future. At some point they gave up and stuck a USB stick into every server.

It was dead by thousand cuts and put a bad taste in my mouth. But I have to admit that was a long time ago and I should probably give them another chance.
