    Hetzner
    Very affordable cloud server solution for people who can set up their own servers. There are quite a lot of regions (but sadly no Frankfurt) as well as a lot of templates to get started quickly with the servers, including Coolify, which allows you to run a PaaS inside Hetzner without too much hassle.

    CenturyLink Private Cloud is well suited for companies that are smaller and wouldn't have to undergo scaling for a longer time. Apart from that, it does well in almost all categories. It wouldn't actually be useful for bigger companies since the UI is a bit laggy sometimes and usually, it's not advisable for big companies.

    Cons
    Hetzner
    • No-downtime upgrade - lately we've had 2 forced downtimes because of planned maintenance, which is not very nice, but we managed.
    • Managed databases would be amazing.
    • Any kind of PAAS for running containerized apps (even though I think that's past what they want to be).

    • UI can be really improved, since it sometimes lags a lot
    • Very few know about the product, so they should advertise a bit more
    • There maybe scaling issues since it's a relatively smaller company compared to its competitors

    Usability
    Hetzner
    I think the UI is best-in-class, really. The UX is very though-through and nothing is missing or out of place. Kudos to their designer. Design is great, but they also have a CLI, which could be quite handy for AI agents. I think it has the foundation to scale the offering into something great, given the quality of everything they put out.

    Alternatives Considered
    Hetzner
    We chose it because of price, because it's like 5-6 times cheaper while offering top-tier features and quality for a SAAS business. Also, we observed that they kept adding new features, so we were sure we could stick with them (Volumes, Private Networks, and other features were added after we had already become customers).

    It doesn't stack up that well against them, since these are big companies and have huge infrastructures and they provide smooth scaling features. However CenturyLink Private Cloud is a little concise and not many people know about it, so I feel like they should advertise more and try to improve their customer outreach.

    • We reduced our cloud hosting costs a lot after switching to CenturyLink Private Cloud
    • Maintenance is very easy since there is documentation available for every part
    • It had some issues with the UI but we can neglect those considering the pricing options they provide.
