This has been one of my favorite blog posts on building products at startups. It came up again in a discussion today, so I wanted to resubmit it.
I also found the HN discussion at the time informative: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6457801
I used Hetzner's pricing calculator.
https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/ax162-r/configu...
Before today, we used to be able to order an AX162-R for €207 and add 128 GB of RAM for €46. Starting today, the same calculator provides €207 for an AX162-R (*) and €264 for the 128 GB RAM add-on. Sadly, HN doesn't let me upload screenshots.
(*) The price change for AX162-R machines is effective starting April 1st.
