* AWS in July 2021: 0.005 USD/hour = 3.65 USD/month.
* Hetzner in July 2021: 0.84 EUR/month = 1.00 USD/month.
* Hetzner from January 2022: 1.70 EUR/month = 2.02 USD/month.
With a 19 EUR = 22.58 USD setup fee at Hetzner since August 2021:
x * 1.00 + 22.58 = x * 3.65;
22.58 = x * (3.65 - 1.00)
x = 22.58 / (3.65 - 1.00) = 22.58 / 2.65 = 8.52 months to recoup the setup fee compared to AWS.
With the Jan 2022 monthly price increase:
x * 2.02 + 22.58 = x * 3.65;
22.58 = x * (3.65 - 2.02)
x = 22.58 / (3.65 - 2.02) = 22.58 / 1.63 = 13.85 months to recoup the setup fee compared to AWS.
It's interesting that the 19 EUR per IPv4 setup fee applies to both single IP addresses, as well as full subnets -- /24 now has a whopping 4864 EUR setup fee! (19*256=4864) Ouch!
