Not at all, go on any low end forum and you'll have a ton of offers way cheaper, in term of reliability long-term+price point, sure, but there is a ton of VPS that are $5-10 a year for 2GB RAM out there (then of course, those providers are always a gamble in term of durability).
True story. Lot of cheaper providers vs. the biggies (and mediums) and we're slowly documenting all this 'behavior'.
Yer not wrong. Hetz bang/buck pretty nice for the most part. We'll see how/if that changes going forward with additional clusters we'll be doing.
