This is why I'm migrating all the servers I own to EU data centres owned by EU companies. It's insanely hard to get enterprises off the big 3 cloud providers, but for the smaller clients I support they don't know why difference and in the long run it ends up saving then money

Which ones are you using? I only have worked with hetzner, ionos and ovh, with mixed results.

I like Hetzner, what kind of issues did you have with them?

Seconding, have had nothing positive experiences with Hetzner. In fact they are the ones hosting this very Lemmy instance - thatโ€™s where the federate.cc VM is!
