    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.

    Media Temple
    I think Media Temple is well suited for a somewhat tech-savvy and sophisticated dev shop that wants something powerful to use but doesn't want the complexity of something like Rackspace or AWS. If you don't need an insane level of control and would have something more on a managed basis, Media Tempe IaaS is the way to go.

    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).

    Media Temple
    • There are often errors with automatic updates and management of 3rd party tools including software such as Plesk.
    • I think the communication options could be improved. It isn't as easy to set up alerts as you would want.
    • Your plans are grandfathered so you are somewhat stuck with an old plan.

    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.

    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).

    Media Temple
    We've been using both DreamHost and Media Temple for years and Media Temple has a better overall experience, offering a more robust solution in terms of scalability and customization. On the other hand, DreamHost has great support and a better pricing policy. So it depends on what are you looking for and your budget as well.
