Ask HN: Any cheaper but good alternatives to DigitalOcean?

I am working on a project but I have limited resources since I don't have a job currently. I am looking if there are any good alternatives to DigitalOcean with support for additional disks/volumes, that do not cost too much. I have tried several providers including UpCloud, Hetzner Cloud, Vultr and Linode. UpCloud seems to have the best performance but all of these apart from Hetzner charge $40/month for a cloud server with 4 cores and 8 GB of ram. Hetzner gives me twice as much memory at half of the price, but performance isn't great from my testing/benchmarking, especially concerning the storage. I would use UpCloud if pricing was more affordable. I will probably need 7 servers for my setup initially with 4 cores and at least 8 GB of ram and decent storage performance. Am I asking too much or are there more options for me? Thanks in advance.
