A match is an available plan from another provider priced in EUR: the same kind of CPU (shared or dedicated, x86 or Arm), at least as many vCPUs and as much memory but no more than double, and at least 80% of the disk. We compared 3 providers that price in EUR. CPU generation and clock speed are not compared, and vCPU counts are an allocation, not a performance score. Standard list prices before tax, backups and traffic overage; promotional and uncapped hourly prices are left out.

Buying advice
Look elsewhere if
Stay with Hetzner Cloud if
Few providers in our catalog price cloud servers in euros, so the same names come up often in the table. Hetzner's CAX plans run on Arm processors and are only matched with other Arm servers. Check traffic allowances too: a cheaper server with a much smaller allowance can cost more if you move a lot of data.
