You won't find any issues.
You will be good. If you use docker heavily, maybe you will need some RAM, but it should be not a problem since you can resize the instance as you want.
I run a few CheckMK instances on Hetzner Cloud servers and haven't had any issues in the last 3 years
Even the lowest plan is an overkill for you. No problem at all.
Would you recommend CX11 for 3.49€/month or add 0.5€ more for CPX11 which is available in the United States and one more CPU core? It's AMD also.
To be clear, I don't really care where they are.
You should be fine with the smallest one but I'd probably still go with the CPX11 as it has more cores and disk space
Okay, thanks. I'm thinking of using a Hetzner Cloud and a Storage Box to replace my poor 5€ OneProvider which sucked.
Or the VPS you're already buying with an attached volume.
More expensive than the Box however
In my experience - if you're using a US VM and go for a storage box (which is EU only afaik) - you will not even remotely enjoy the speeds it offers. It is ridiculously slow.
There is absolutely nothing to complain about using Hetzner Cloud, however, I highly recommend that you purchase the backup for only 20% more of the total price.
If you are only going to use one server to run all of your critical services, at some point this will be good coverage and will be able to restore everything much more quickly than a third party external backup - even though you may barely use it.
Their US AMD VPS are pretty great for the price.
It's quite hard to go wrong with Hetzner Cloud, both CX11 and CPX11 will work fine for your usecase so which one you use is a choice you can make yourself, whether you need the cores and disk or need the US location. It's fairly easy to resize instances later (Even across processor type) however that has a small amount of downtime involved (Minutes maybe) if that's a concern to you.
Mounting a Storage Box works absolutely wonderfully provided the instance is in the same region as the Storage Box. So if you get an FSN cloud instance you'll need an FSN Storage Box, etc. Since they're in the same DC park you'll get <1ms of latency to the Storage Box and saturate the full throughput of the network connection.
This rules out US region if you want to attach a Storage Box, since there are none available there and the latency and speed is terrible when accessing an EU one. So if you want a Storage Box and a US instance you will need two instances.
CX11, as I do not see a point to upgrade to CPX11. Also you might want to consider netcup, which is hosted in Hetzner DC (iirc). More resource for less money.
The point is that it's better.
I'm pretty sure this isn't the case, though like with you I don't have a definitive source for it either. Time to bring in the LowEndDetectives?
Netcup is listed as being present in the Hetzner Nuremberg Datacenter Park (here), and Anexia lists a DC named “DE, Nuremberg, Hetzner (netcup) (ANX84)” (here). So it’s safe to assume there is some netcup presence in Hetzner’s facilities.
Thank you!
