A score out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews, so a handful of glowing reviews can’t beat a product many people like.

With 10 VPS already, found no new low-cost VPS available, nothing under 20 euros a month.
Has had two servers for 6-7 years and the price hike might make them cancel.
Moved from Linode for lower prices, but at the new prices it would cost about the same, so they will look elsewhere.
New VPS prices were 2-3x higher than the week before.
Cloud-only customer shocked by a CCX23 jump from 31.49 to 85.99 euros overnight and considering bigger providers.
A CCX13 quoted at 15 dollars a month in March now costs 50.99, and their own shared VPS would rise from 6.99 to 22.99.
Fifteen cloud servers costing 700 euros a month would rise toward 2000 euros, so the team is moving away after almost 10 happy years.
Migrated several large e-commerce platforms spending five figures monthly but would not do it again in the current state.
Six-month-old server affected by the increase; says Hetzner never said prices might change on existing orders.
Their VPS goes from 10.70 to 15 euros while OVH offers more RAM and disk at that price.
Bill jumped from 5200 to 7100 euros and they still cannot spin up new machines or upgrade existing ones.
Two servers costing 14 euros will go to about 20, and a 30 percent hike on all customers is called crazy.
Wanted green infrastructure and would pay a premium, but the new pricing went from manageable to bleeding them dry overnight.
Upscaling from CPX11 to CPX21 now costs 37.49 dollars a month so they are moving everything away.
After Hetzner price increases the price does not justify the performance of the box.
An 8 vCPU 16 GB server rose from 25 to 32 to 87 euros within a few months.
Existing CCX33 client notified that the price would go from 55.49 to 76.99 dollars on April 1st.
Existing CCX13 rose from 14.86 to 19.62 and new orders are far higher.
Warns existing VPS owners not to scale or change servers because the new prices are rough and may reach existing customers.
Over a decade as a customer and first time really disappointed, calling the doubling or tripling of prices out of order.
CPX11 cloud servers went from 5.99 to 17.49 euros, forcing a search for another provider.
Volumes get a 50 percent price increase in the Hetzner adjustment.
Hetzner US price increase with a drastic bandwidth cut feels like a rug pull.
Their 20 euro server would cost 120 euros per month at the next upgrade tier after the price rise.
Their CCX23 went from 39 to 101 dollars, a 150 percent increase they find unjustifiable.
A CPX41 went from 38.99 to 120.49.
A Hetzner server paid at 15.99 euros would now cost 45 euros or more.
Cancelled a CPX62 at 60 dollars to build a home server; it would now cost 160.
Did not expect a 150 percent increase for their little server.
