I was basing it off of the transfer per instance. Using DO, that transfer limit is pooled, so if you need a lot of bandwidth, the best option was to get a lot of $5/month droplets, which each came with 1TB/month.

Looking at their pricing just now, it looks like it's $6/month for that droplet, which changes things a bit. Now, as long as you're willing to get droplets purely for the bandwidth allotment, DO's bandwidth costs $6/TB. That's more than almost every Hetzner option listed by the OP, but not all of them.




But overages from Hetzner are $1.05 per TB, which is significantly less than $6, so you can just get whichever instance you need and let it roll.


That's the key thing I missed. It's nowhere near the deal it was but it's still clearly ahead of DO.
