Does Hetzner has any proper competitor somewhere, with similar power/price ratio? Especially interested in some on the US side of the pond. They seem to be a go-to company for everyone that wants to host stuff on his/her own.
There aren't very many trust-worthy hosts that come close to Hetzner in the US market.
I use WebNX, and love them. They have a particular west coast focus (first major location out of LA). Their prices are a bit higher than Hetzner, but they provide an amazing service, have a solid network, and the prices are great; plus they'll do any custom setup you need. They frequently have deals on WebhostingTalk.
You can get a E5-1650v2 with 32gb of ram and 50tb of bandwidth for $139 (no setup). They're a quality host, and their network is very fast.
Reliable Servers / Constant.com have some great prices and deals from time to time. Their network is great. They're comparable with Servermania mentioned by another post (Servermania is out of Buffalo; Constant is out of New Jersey, the DuPont Fabros datacenter).
I do not have a server with them, have never used them, am not associated with them, etc, but one I keep seeing coming up in the US is http://www.servermania.com/ - it's still not quite as a cheap as Hetzner though (of who I'm a happy user).
