Comment on How much 1 TB of egress costs by cloud provider

Ionos.. not a good provider.
Great it works for you, but i wouldnt touch them with a long pole.
Created by an old internet provider (which is also not very good..), pulling every shady marketing trick weird "cloud" providers have..

Contabo is very cheap too, but i wouldnt trust them with critical stuff.
Netcup is next, quite good and still cheap.
Hetzner is very nice, but the cloud offers are expensive. the dedicated server offers though.. holy sweetness, specially the auction servers.

Over the years hosting i learned that paying slightly more is often worth it depending on the needs.
And as my requirements went up, i moved up in the tiers. If you have a need for the dedicated servers, gets cheaper for what you get (though you need to manage the hardware side then too..)

Oh and dont forget the Oracle free offers. I dont really trust Oracle, but free compute is free.. maybe dont store sensitive stuff though

Could you list anything specific?

It’s obvious that you will want to get a better provider when your needs scale up. But for the specs I posted I don’t see any reason to leave ionos.

  When i was with a customer who was using one of ther VPS offers, performance was unexpectedly low and upon contacting support it was clear the small fish dont get great support answers, but rather pushed to the FAQ.
  
  And i personally find their offerings and marketing scummy. Big promotional prices, but always some small print with a higher price after x Months.
  Or just stuff thats not included by default.
  I never had that with other (also very cheap) providers.
  
  As long as it works great for you, i wouldnt see a reason to leave.
  There arent that many providers offering such small ressources at all or at such a price. To be fair, not much one can do with those specs.. 10GB storage is very limited already.
  But for those specs.. always free oracle tier would work too (though requires a credit card).
