Hosting in Europe

When I read about hosting providers, e.g. for a virtual privater server, there are a lot of companies: AWS, Digital Ocean, Vultr, Linode etc.

Many of them are based in the US, so they don't care about my European freedom and privacy rights.

That's why I'll have a look at hosting provides in Europe.

Companies

Hetzner, Netcup and Contabo are based in Germany, OVH is based in France.

Products

Sorted by CPU cores, RAM, Price.

I looked for the prices for a contract period of 0/1 months, because I want to stay flexible. If you find different prices, this is probably through different default contract periods. Also watch out for setup fees, e.g. on Contabo you have to pay 4,99€ for a contract period of 0 months.
