Reviewer scorecard
“4x the compute per dollar compared to AWS. European data centers for GDPR compliance. The best value in cloud computing.”
“PagedAttention is a breakthrough for inference efficiency. The standard for production self-hosted LLM serving.”
“Unbeatable pricing if you can manage your own infrastructure. Not for teams that need managed services.”
“If you're self-hosting LLMs, vLLM is the obvious choice. Battle-tested and actively maintained.”
“As cloud bills become a board-level concern, Hetzner's value proposition becomes more compelling every quarter.”
“Self-hosted inference will remain important for latency, cost, and privacy. vLLM is the infrastructure layer.”
