I've never had AWS block me from S3 - they just charge more for more tx.

I've never had AWS block me from compute - they just charge more if I want more.

I used to chase the "unlimited" services various of the cheaper providers offered - partly because HN always suggests that. But there are often weird limits. Ie, unlimited but... at some point its not worth dealing with. Either peering and latency is garbage, there is some fine print, or they just can't actually deliver the traffic volume. AWS same availability zone latency / bandwidth is really pretty OK between most nodes I've found.



AWS generally charges based on actual usage, where Hetzner is largely a flat-fee model with acceptable use policies.

Hetzner is also much cheaper than AWS.

Very different companies with very different business models. You can’t really compare the two.


hetzner never blocked me for traffic or compute. The only time i had a problem when i tested an ipfs node which triggered their DDos detection, but that's fixed with a command line option.


AFAIK AWS prohibits GPU mining as well.


Precisely. That’s why I just use AWS. Costs more but they just do what they say on the tin.
