Not on any regular basis. Occasionally you can find a promo or a specialized offer that's better. What are you looking for?
https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/ex40-ssd/
Something similar to this but it has 2 x 240gb ssd. I would be happy with only one.
They don't even have quarterly or yearly discount If only I could find the similar deal around $35 else where.
See if anything on https://checkservers.ovh/ suits you. Also look at https://www.worldstream.nl/en/dedicated/premium/info and use the order form's customization options to swap the hdd for an ssd and opt for the annual discount (4.2 euro/m iirc).
cheapest hetzners auction server with 2x240G ssd and 32G is ~$31 at this moment...
if one ssd suits you and you can deal with less CPU power maybe @qps can sort you out?
Hetzner also has support ... so you know .. No other host that gives better pricing & support than Hetzner
You could just get an auction one and add an ssd for like 6.5 euro/month, brings your total even further down, to around 28.35 ex tax.
Do you have any idea about pricing in https://webzilla.com/dedicated-servers.html ?
Looking for germany location?

If you pay more yes but otherwise no.
Hetzner is the best you can get if the location not matters.
Be careful what you wish for is what I'd say.
When you go too low, you only get scammed in the end. Happens all the time on LET.
When you go high, you get scammed anyway, paying for overpriced trash.
Well, 7 is the highest you go on LET. If you get scammed at that price point, the joke is on you sadly.
How do you add hardware to Hetzner Auction servers?
check pricing and options here: https://www.hetzner.com/flexipack/?country=ot
open a ticket regarding the server you want to have upgraded and just let them know what you want to have :-)
probably easiest to leave the server in rescue mode and give it a go directly after the server has been deployed... will take them only a few hours or less to set you up. you'll see the price on the next invoice, easy as that.
edit: ofc your request needs to be within the limits of available connectors and slots for the drives etc.
When I click on "Order" the total automatically goes €7 extra than the price shown on the auction page, the $31 one shows $39-ish. Happens to all the servers on auction page.
They're VPS. I am looking for a dedi.
Current one I have is from OVH only, SSD3-VPS looking to upgrade to dedi.
Probably vat tax.
After reading the comments, anything besides hetzner is a scam> @tsoft said:

Great example. Lowest offer for Xeon-D (!) with HDD and 8G memory starts from 190$ per month! Well, you can order more powerful vps from hetzner for 30 euro. Fully managed means they just update software once a week or less.
Person seems to be looking for dedicated server, not small vps like those.
if you don't need support then you can check prices of online.net
always ask for SLA as going for cheap prices you will end up server with downtimes drastically effecting your business. Hetzner prices are ok. leaseweb has sale currently. you can check them.
You may get better conditions if you contact providers (whom own their own infrastructure) privately: they usually don't go for the low end market and they usually don't expose public offerings; moreover, they're likely not interested in single 20€/mo deals.
Alternatively, you can't beat the Germans on their structured logistic and organization skills. It's something in their milk or beer, I don't know. Competition with them can't happen (and doesn't happen) on price alone.
Ah, I wasn't aware that Hetzner would add hardware to Auction servers since there isn't an option in Robot. Thanks!
Online seems the only one to come close to hetzner's pricing.
Thanks guys.. I'll just search for ongoing promo from other hosts, if not then I'll just go with hetzner.
Their pricing is insane
Example:
Dell R320/ 1x E5-2430v2/ 64 GB/ 2x 480 GB SSD Kingston
Location - Amsterdam
310 EUR per month
Network
1 Gbps speed port
10 Mbps prepaid
20 EUR / month
1 Mbps overusage - 2.5 EUR
Hetzner is absolutely amazing. I was lucky to snag a sub 20 eur 3770 before they went unmetered gigabit. At some point I asked for an SSD to be added and they did it in 15 minutes. Nothing can beat this.
No, if the location does not matter, its the best price.
But since the pricing goes up, since the unlimited thing they pulled off, that may opens other options.
@VortexMagnus
do you have a thing for old printers and a pager maybe?
dafuq?
