Being a European, I’d love to try this. Many businesses operate completely local. I think there is a market for a Europe-only cloud provider.

How do I try this? Do they have a free tier?

You can sign up on their website: https://www.stackit.de/en/

While there are no free credits the services are priced pay per use to the minute with a much simpler pricing model than the large hyperscalers like AWS. See prices for EC2 here: https://www.stackit.de/en/pricing/cloud-services/iaas/stacki...

Note that you need to be Incorporated in Germany, Austria or Switzerland to use it. And they dont allow individuals to open accounts. Only companies.

"The European cloud" that doesn't allow sign ups from Europe is extremely ironic.

I don't know how they keep getting all this press without actually delivering anything

Their pricing page is funny. Can I have 2 RAMs please?

My physics teacher would get spitting mad at them for not specifying the unit.

Of course their billing is also 'hours'. Instead of 'hourly'.

Hetzner and OVH are top of mind, Gandi is nice too. Not Amazon-scale, by far, but European companies hosting in Europe with decent service.

OVH is a joke (their data center burned because they had wooden roofs), Gandi is no more, and Scaleway gave up. There is no French host anymore. Only Hetzner is left in this business.

Exoscale has a simple sign up, with a credit of EUR 20 to get you started.

(I work there, and my job tomorrow is to get my 2 apprentices new accounts so they can start following the self-paced training in the Exoscale Academy.)
