What always strikes me is the amount of free traffic Hetzner includes in their plans, always 20TB and upwards.
AWS charges a whooping 90$ per TB, it keeps me wondering why their traffic is SO much more expensive than Hetzner's...

Re: DDoS protection
#92I see great future for companies like Hetzner which are providing dedicated hardware with reasonable prices. While Amazon and Azure are making the live of virtual server providers difficult, I believe it is harder for them to compete with companies like Hetzner without eating their own business.
What these companies need are just additional services and nice management tools which make the whole dedicated server and network stuff look more like what we see on AWS or Azure.
My assumption is that at some point more people will come to the conclusion that part of their workloads such actually run on cheap dedicated hardware. On Hetzner €60/month buys you 4 cores, 32GB, 480GB SSD, 30TB traffic. Compare that to Azure A2, which at €64/month gives you 2 cores, 3.5GB, 60GB.

Can you actually use that traffic though? I can run AWS bandwidth at max for the entire month and (assuming I'm not spamming or whatever) I just get a bigger bill.
With places like Hetzner you may be shut down for abusing their services if you use that limit too frequently.

#94I used Hetzner, they have one of the worst support teams out there. Everything is next to unlimited and blah blah blah but the reality is really painfull for their customers including myself as a former one.
Re: DDoS protection
#95I wouldn't buy DDoS protection from Hetzner, not to talk about using it for free. There is no such things as free ddos protection which means tons of free bandwidth, this cheap marketing.

Sadly I have the same experience. They lost me after a small ddos (which results null routing our ip).

#97Hetzner announced this a couple weeks ago on their German language forums. What's concerning is they still have not stated their filtering capacity and the bandwidth and throughput protection levels being provided. If it's only 5 gbit and 500k PPS of filtering it won't be all that helpful.

#98I'm from Germany but Online.net is the way better alternative to Hetzner for me. Server grade hardware, cheaper, no compromises, internal network, etc. etc. I think they even hired a lot new support people recently so you get an answer pretty fast. Hetzner always has this "cheap feeling" even though the hardware looks good on paper.
Have you been using online.net for long? Their offer looks interesting except for availability rate 99.5%. That's almost 4 hours of downtime every month. within availability range.
So they're willing to provide a SLA with 4 hrs of downtime every month. This does not however mean that you will have 4 hrs of down-time per mont - it's a managed risk.
Also, depending on the nature of your application, you can often get away with that kind of downtime. Something trivial (yet extremely popular) like Twitter had lots of down-time and it made the users love the service even more.

online.net kicked us out for using too much of an unmetered network connection.
Re: DDoS protection
#100We are switching away from hetzner managed server as we had ~30 hours of downtime this sunday. They suddenly swapped our valid ssl certificate with a self signed one. They offered no immediate support (i called them three times) and open tickets were left unanswered for another ~20 hours. As i ranted about their customer service on twitter, they finally took care of it. So please stay away from them.
> we had ~30 hours of downtime this sunday
30 hours in a 24 hours day? :O
