Recommending Hetzner as an alternative here is a mistake. It just exposes you to a different problem.

There is a reason for the term "Hetznered" existing. Hetzner can suddenly and permanently terminates your account. They do this without warning or explanation. When it happens, you lose access to all your servers and your backups.

If you search HN, you will find plenty of examples. People lose everything within 24 hours and have no recourse.

Hetzner is amazing for pricing. But the only safe way to use them is if your infrastructure is cloud agnostic. If you are not locked in and can move between providers quickly, it is a very cost effective place to run stateless services like DNS.
