IME strato is OK for cheap VPSes as long as you don’t have high expectations.

5-6 years ago, I remember trying to scale up to the 16/32GB tier was miserable and oversubscribed; moving to Hetzner at the same price point brought a huge performance boost (mostly on CPU and disk access speed).

Don’t want to ding strato exclusively, likely the case for most $1-$4/month type hosting.

Not bad as long as you know what you’re getting yourself into.
