I recently found out that a "client" of mine (not really a client, just some people I did a favor to) had a forgotten machine with more than 3 years of uptime on Hetzner. That's quite the achievement!

Edit: I might add, serving a Wordpress website, still working, unhacked despite minimal configuration. We only found out because MySQL crashed and the machine had to be rebooted.

Thanks. Took a look at Hetzner and other VPS services, their prices really are reasonable. I most likely will go with Hetzner after waiting for some more recommendations to see if there's a service that can compete with Hetzner.

Hetzner is absolutely amazing. I've had physical servers in their German data centers for years and the few times I've had problems, their support was amazingly fast and helpful.

Currently I have two servers there. One AX41-NVMe for applications and an older one from their server auction with 2x 4 TB HDD for storage.

Came here to say the same. Hetzner gives good services for the price. My experience with the VPS is that I set it once and it just works with 1.5 year of uptime now. What I really love is that if you need bigger storage but not necessarily fast, you can get storage box for like €4 per 1TB and connect it to your machine with CIFS/SFTP/WebDAV. It works perfectly for my Nextcloud files, while everything else is on fast SSD.
