Hetzner dedicated servers (AX)
Whole AMD Ryzen/EPYC servers in Germany and Finland with unlimited traffic. A 16-thread, 64 GB server costs less than a 4-vCPU AWS instance.
You rent a whole server in Falkenstein or Helsinki and manage redundancy yourself. Standard 1-Gbit/s ports include unlimited traffic. Allow for the $1.90 IPv4 charge and one-off setup fees of $59, $149 or $359. Failed disks are replaced through support tickets. Auction servers start around $74/month without a setup fee, if older hardware suits the workload.

Hetzner's USD monthly prices (Falkenstein/Helsinki only) plus the primary IPv4 ($1.90/month). vCPUs here are hardware threads (8, 16 and 48 cores); local NVMe and ECC RAM included, more RAM is an add-on (AX162 to 512 GB). Traffic is unlimited and free on the standard 1 Gbit/s port (not with the 10G uplink add-on), so egress is modelled at $0. One-off setup fees of $59 / $149 / $359 aren't in the monthly figure; limited-stock -LTD variants and the server auction (from ~$74/month, no setup fee) are cheaper. Monthly contracts, no hardware management layer: you replace failed disks via a support ticket and run your own redundancy. Prices include the 2026 rises.
Managed alternatives
At 32 vCPUs, 128 GB RAM, 10 TB egress to internet / month. Adjust usage and requirements.
