Hetzner CX22 VPS Review — Best Value for Self-Hosters

Hetzner Cloud's CX22 offers 2 AMD vCPU, 4GB RAM, 40GB NVMe SSD, and 20TB bandwidth for €4.85/month (~$5.30 USD). It's consistently the benchmark for price/performance in the European market.

Performance: NVMe storage means fast I/O for SQLite workloads. CPU is shared but consistent — no noisy neighbour spikes like some cheaper providers. Network: 1Gbps uplink, reliable.

For self-hosting OpenVibe services: the CX22 can run the full OpenVibe stack (all services) comfortably at low traffic. Scale to CX32 (4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, €8.38/mo) for 100+ concurrent viewers.

Cons: EU datacenter locations only (Nuremberg, Falkenstein, Helsinki) plus Ashburn, VA. Not ideal for Asia-Pacific primary traffic. Verdict: best value VPS for European or mixed-audience self-hosters. Rating: 5/5.
