I can’t express how much I love hetzner doing this. There is a huge market for people who just need some instances and reliable/cheap object storage to run their apps.

So I was looking at the way they’re doing pricing, and is it just me or did they go for the most complicated way possible to define usage?
I’ve been mostly using “discount” S3 providers for stuff/Cloudflare, but they look to have gone for the needs-a-maths-degree route which seems somewhat at odd with their usual billing practices.
It’s really not that complicated. At a high level:
And then divide those numbers because it’s actually billed by the hour
That makes a lot of sense, and I’m going to blame me coming off a flu and seeing a wall of math and my brain going ‘uh what’.
I do think the phrasing is complicated, IIRC Hetzner moved from monthly to hourly billing recently, so they probably had to have legally well-defined terms while also wanting to do a monthly-based system in hourly terms.
