  "price": "Hetzner CX23 from about EUR 5.49/mo (2 vCPU, 4 GB, 40 GB NVMe, 20 TB traffic, EUR 1/TB overage); ARM CAX11 similar. Dokploy self-hosted free; Dokploy Cloud $4.50/mo per server, Startup $15/mo for 3 servers.",

  "what": "The budget stack: a Hetzner Cloud VPS running Dokploy, an open-source Vercel and Netlify alternative with Docker Compose support, Traefik routing, automatic SSL, preview deploys, multi-server management and database backups. EU servers include 20 TB of outbound traffic, with overage near EUR 1 per TB.",
  "why": "Bandwidth roughly a thousand times cheaper than metered platforms — 20 TB for EUR 5 versus $0.15/GB. One box comfortably runs several apps, Postgres and n8n behind a UI that feels like a real PaaS.",
  "warn": "Hetzner's <b>US locations include far less traffic than EU ones</b> (1-5 TB versus 20 TB) — check before choosing Ashburn or Hillsboro. Hetzner also runs identity verification and has suspended accounts abruptly, so keep off-site backups. Self-hosting means you own uptime and patching.",
