Can you say more? Their Cloud instances, for example, are less than half the cost of OVH's, and less than a fifth of the cost of a comparable AWS EC2 instance.

even free servers are of no use if it’s not usable during a product launch. :) You get what you pay for i guess.

But i do agree, it is much cheaper.

To be fair what use is a server if you can’t afford to keep it running. This is especially true for very bootstrapped startups.

We all start somewhere. :) Hetzner can be a good fit for many small companies.

But let’s also be honest, if you’re THAT bootstrapped, you probably have no business running kubernetes to begin with. If the company has a short runway, it doesn’t make sense to work on a complex architecture from the start. Focus on shipping something and getting revenue.
