Everything listed here is something we actually use. If it's here, it earned its place.
☁️ DigitalOcean — Cloud Infrastructure
DigitalOcean is our go-to recommendation for self-hosted DevOps setups. Simple, predictable pricing, solid documentation, and a developer-friendly interface that doesn't require a cloud certification to navigate. If you're deploying a VPS, a managed Kubernetes cluster, or a managed database — DigitalOcean is where we point people first.
We use it for hosting self-managed stacks like the SigNoz Monitoring Pack and recommend it throughout our tutorials.

🖥️ Hetzner — Cloud Servers & Dedicated Hardware
Hetzner is a German cloud provider known for exceptional price-to-performance ratio. If DigitalOcean is the friendly option, Hetzner is the one engineers reach for when they want raw compute power at a fraction of the cost. Data centers in Germany and Finland, GDPR-compliant, and consistently among the cheapest options for VPS and dedicated servers in Europe.
We run our own SigNoz observability stack on Hetzner — it handles the load without breaking a sweat, at a price that makes AWS look embarrassing. Great fit for self-hosted workloads, CI/CD runners, build servers, or any setup where you need serious compute without a cloud-sized bill.
