This way you can run for example a FreeBSD or Arch Linux VPS for under 3 Euro per month. :)
What's strange is that only RAM and disk space increase linearly with the price, not the CPU, nor the traffic. That creates an incentive to buy small instances and getting a lot more for your buck.
Whats the difference to their VPS's ? I had one until last month with pretty much the specs of the cx21 but it cost a little bit more ? Are they just lowering their prices or am I missing out on features ?
Hetzner still haven't said anything to me about Spectre/Meltdown, or rebooted my VPS, so I'm not sure I trust them any more!
They have written an extensive article about it here: https://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/Spectre_and_Meltdown/en
"The host systems will be updated to fix the vulnerabilities as soon as possible. The necessary reboots will be announced on Hetzner Status. You may subscribe to be notified. "
To clarify - saying this as someone who was forced to blacklist their IPs on more than one occassion, not as someone who ran into tainted IPs as their customer.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
yes, it is. German laws for data protection apply.
Not German, but European Laws apply. This ( http://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2016/679/oj ) replaces all data proyection laws in the EU. Must comply now, but sanctions won't be in effect until may 25th.
Do you support any other PaaS-API (E.G. CF) instead of your own hcloud cli?
2gb ram minimum, nice. Do they still require a scan of your id/passport though?
For 35€ a month I get 32GB RAM, 8 vCPUs, 240GB SSD + 20TB Traffic. The comparable 40$ plan for Linode offers 8GB RAM 4 CPU Cores 48GB SSD and 3 TB Transfer (See: https://www.linode.com/pricing)
Am I missing something or is Hetzner just way more competetive?
Hetzner used to be a rather big conventional hoster. I'm surprised to see them up and running these days when all big co seemed to have migrated to that cloud thingy
Well, they cost very little in comparison to the big cloud hosters and have great performance. Most startups nowadays can be hosted on a single big vertical machine just fine with perhaps another machine for a hot spare. I think the much-heralded cloud elasticity for most startups only serves to please investors "we can scale if we blow up over night!".
