> For storage, Hetzner does offer Volumes, which you can attach to your VM

The argument was about dedicated hardware. But it still holds for VPS.

Have you seen the price of Cloud Storage? ARM VPS 40GB is 4.51 (inc tax), for 40GB storage, your paying 2.10 Euro. So my argument still holds as your paying almost 50% more, just to go from 40GB to 80GB. And that ratio gets worse if your renting higher end VPS, and double your storage on them.

Lets be honest, 53.62 Euro for 1TB of SSD storage in 2025, is ridiculous.

Netcup is at 12 Euro/TB for SSD storage (same speed as the VMS as its just localized storage on the server, not network storage). Fyi: A ARM 6 Core 256GB, at netcup is 6.26 Euro.

Hetzner used to be the market leader and pushed others, but you barely see any new products or upgraded from them anymore. I said it before, if Netcup actually invested into a more modern/scalable VPS solution (instead of their 2010 VPS panels), they will eat a lots of Hetzners clients.
