In which case I find Interserver to be a good US host that's just as good and almost as cheap as Hetzner

Interserver is much much more expensive

For real? The same HW costs like 8x more.

best I found in the US is reliablesite.net

http://reliablesite.net/v4/ their twitter account has big discounts

maybe only 4x more expensive, and they don't charge a monthly fee for a private network.
