Ah, yes, you’re probably right, I misunderstood.
What they say about CX plans is rather:
Because these shared cloud plans divvy up CPU resources, they are ideal for development and testing environments, blogs, forums, CMS, small databases, and VPN servers.
(Hetzner introduces new shared vCPU cloud servers)
Cost-efficient on older hardware generations, with limited availability. Ideal for variable workloads that can handle changing CPU performance. Optimized for low CPU usage with variable workloads.
(backend)
Optimized for cost efficiency, available only in limited capacity.
(https://www.hetzner.com/cloud/).
So it’s more like they use older hardware if I get it right. Observed forum speed is kinda disappointing anyway
