Hi,

I've been selfhosting for a while for my own needs but also playing with docker and setting up some web apps of my own. I treated it purely as a hobby but recently thought about publishing something to the web.

I remember checking the pricing of a Hetzner VPS instance a couple of months ago and it was something like $9/month for 4GB RAM US based server.
Now if I wanted to go on and get myself a 4GB one it would be $46 (cost-optimized is not available...)

I was wondering whether it's a Hetzner specific issue or is this problem globally justified (AI and stuff...)? And if it's Hetzner, are there any cheaper alternatives?

Thx in advance :))
