Wonder if using Hetzner makes you subject to unusual German laws requiring (nearly) every site to have an "Impressum" page with contact phone number, mailing address and other data that would be uncomfortable for an individual (not a company) to disclose.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Thanks. So it would be best to host on Hezner too. That's fine with me. Can you comment if the location of my IP will affect my website SEO wrt to USA visitors?
SEO is a black box, so there are no definite answers. It will affect load times (the 60ms) and that could have an effect on search engines.
If that was the case, all the companies that are hosted in the US would already be punished in Europe.
Been using Hetzner for years, their hardware's has been rock solid, predictable pricing with sweet price/performance ratio resulting in large savings from consolidating existing AWS EC2 instances. Still using AWS for Apps which rely on cloud features, e.g. SES/RDS/etc but for static servers Hetzner is now our goto. Super exciting to see them entering the cloud space and offering easy snapshots + backups, should open…

1. Load time depends on the location of your visitors, see #2. Downtime is hard to evaluate, I expect the cloud to be fairly stable based on my experience with Hetzner. 2. For sure of you are using AWS in US: Traffic across the atlantic will incur at least ~65ms latency per roundtrip.

That said, noone knows the rules for Googles Ranking algorithm, so I guess you will have to try.
