Hmmm it seems a big leap:
$51.50 vs $28.50 is about 80% more.
The current GBP15 (EUR22) box from Bytemark is inadequate both in terms of disk space and memory. So we'll need to move up to the next level (128Mb/6GB), which is GBP27 (EUR39). Which is just as expensive as a full box from Hetzner (1G/160G).
(Michael: the Hetzner offering *is* a full root dedicated server)
Yes, they do have more expensive offers (more bandwith, even faster machines), but I would say these are not needed for most users.
This was different some time ago: The 39EUR server hardware used to be much slower, have less disk (40G), 256MB RAM, and 100GB/Month.
They continue to offer the old machines, with 100GB/Month it's only EUR 19.
I'm planning to get a box myself there. Squeak-ev has a box as well. Each of these boxen has 160G drivespace which we're likely not to completely need, so that would be a good basis for mutual disk-disk backup :-)
