However, what keeps me on Linode is that they have a London datacentre with excellent peering. I've seen 9ms pings, 150 miles away. Makes for seriously fast websites (in concert with good development processes).
Hetzner responds in 31-35ms from here. That might be Good Enough™ for many applications but it's not as special.
I've never been this tempted to jump ship though. Hopefully some of these features will become industry standard.
Very different obviously if you have APIs that require low latency.
That's because they fleece you with the exchange rate. You're paying a many-points worse exchange rate, even against a stabilised market average.
For one recent actual example, Paypal recently gave me 1.339 USD for 1 GBP in a transaction. The raw market rate that day was 1.421. The week mean was ~1.410. Paypal already holds this cash, they're not exchanging jack on the open market.
A pre-pay FX card —shop around— would have given me $1.40/£ on that date.
Paypal work like a bookmakers. They cover the entire spread with very little risk. Nothing on Paypal is really free.
