The reason I use a VPS is to not use hosted anything, personally. So I guess whether that makes it a better product or not is highly personal.
replySpeaking for myself, I used $5 DO droplets for quite a while when learning but as soon as I switched to real projects and realized how quickly the price ramped up, I moved to Hetzner and the simplicity of their interface was a breath of fresh air. I saved a ton of time after switching. So to me, Hetzner has the superior product.
For the most part I agree but poor performance on network block storage is very limiting. My point is more that DO has a complete modern cloud platform, and Hetzner doesn't quite.
