Hetzner
the cheapest real hardware on this list — the entry plan already ships 4 gb, twice the conventional hermes floor.
the best price-to-hardware ratio for a 24/7 hermes, full stop — you just do the ten minutes of setup yourself.
hetzner doesn't sell a plan below hermes's practical floor, which makes it the only provider here whose teaser price is also its honest price: €5.99 buys 2 vcpu and 4 gb, the spec most rivals call their upgrade tier, with roughly 20 tb of included traffic.
there is no hermes marketplace app and no official tutorial — you create the server, install docker or run nous's one-line installer, and you're done. that's genuinely all the setup amounts to on a fresh ubuntu box, but it is your responsibility, updates included.
the description above is ours, condensed from the ranking. pricing moves — check it on the vendor's own page before you rely on it.
