What's with that crazy price jump from $23/year to $18/month? Doubling RAM and cores increases prices by 9x? 2GB RAM and 2 cores is $5-6 at Hetzner, no idea how they think $18/month for 1GB RAM and 2 cores is competitive in any way, that's a bit of a dark pattern IMO...
Scummy, but not uncommon really. Bring in customers at the cheap tier and then once they're in your ecosystem overcharge for the higher tiers.
Idk, most of the bigger VPS services don't have anything like that. Yeah, they have higher tiers, but you usually get similar or better value as you go up.
Good point, I imagine you're right! I haven't shopped many VPS services, I was venting about the general practice I've seen in other services before.
Fair. Here are some that I find to be pretty consistently competitive:
I've used each and liked each. They're rarely the absolute cheapest, but they are usually competitive at all tiers with no pretty much no shenanigans. I'm currently with Hetzner, which has been good for the few months I've been with them, but I've spent multiple years with the other two.
