Looks like they're taking on LowEndSpirit, except with a slightly better offering. Not quite beastly EC2, or piggybacking a VPS on someone's Nokia 3310.
Any current clients know how fast provisioning is on these?

#42Keep in mind that Hetzner has a rather lax (non-existing?) policy when it comes to stopping outbound spam, so make sure to check that IPs you get from them are not on MX blacklists. 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.
I'm using a Hetzner VPS to host my mail for nearly 8 years now. Never had a single problem with blacklisting. I once lost IPv6 connection because of a routing mistake on their side but that was it.

#43I've used Hetzner and my general experience has been good.
Re: Hetzner Cloud
#44Great prices. 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.
I don't think Hetzner makes a promise w.r.t. the CPU clock. So lower end VPS might be hosted on high-core, low-clock machines.

From their website:

#462gb ram minimum, nice. Do they still require a scan of your id/passport though?
Yes. We check IDs of our new customers. We find that this is one of the most effective ways of preventing abuse. A short time after we have verified your ID, the personal data we collected to process your order will be deleted in accordance with German data protection laws. After your first order, you don't need to provide your ID again. --Katie, Marketing, Hetzner Online

#47Is the location of the cloud-server still Nürnberg/Falkenstein? The prices seem to be very low.
Hetzner Cloud servers are based in Nürnberg and Falkenstein.

I wish they'd offer could service hosted in South Africa.
Re: Hetzner Cloud
#49For someone who knows about networking can you please comment on the following:
1. What would be the downside of hosting my Apache server on Hezner instead of AWS? Will it affect load times, website SEO, downtime?
2. Hosting Mysql Server on CX31 on Hezner instead of AWS? If my Apache server is on Ec2 and I make a connection to a Mysql server on Hezner will it affect performance of my sites because they're hosted on different places?
I have a very basic understanding of networking, so appreciate any comments from someone who knows about these.

I just fired up an instance took 7 seconds.
