Sorry to say this, but that is a pretty ignorant comment.

Re: Hetzner Cloud
#152Hetzner has an excellent reputation for rock-solid engineering and very good prices. While the cloud providers invested in innovation in software, they focused on optimizing the hardware and data center techniques and engineering (something very German, btw). Now that Cloud is a pure commodity and companies are learning about how to be truly 'multi-cloud' they come out of nowhere with a very interesting proposal at i…
And without the OVH cloud interface which has horrible loading times and sometimes randomly switches to French.
Well, you can always learn a new language

Good point. Maybe if they opened a DC in Greenland or Iceland.
Iceland would theoretically be great, ideal location for US and Europe. But they'd need to lay a cable first, traffic Iceland-US is currently routed through Denmark/UK.
Iceland also has cheap renewable energy.
There is the Greenland connect cable¹ built in 2009 that goes from Iceland to Canada. Sounds like it currently has 60GBit/s.

Hetzner is easily 30% off OVH and half the price of other hosting providers (VPS and bare metal). So nothing surprising here. They have a cheap cost base (data centres in rural areas and wholesale electricity prices aren't that high in Germany) which probably explains most of that. OVH had basically the same price but their heavy investments in new DCs have made them more expensive. Since Hetzner doesn't invest a lot…
→ Hetzner: CX21, 2 cores, 4GB RAM - 5.83€ → OVH VPS Cloud 2, 2 cores 4GB RAM: 23.79€ → OVH VPS SSD 2, 1 core, 4GB RAM: 9.51€ → OVH VPS SSD 3, 2 cores, 8GB RAM: 17.84€ For me, OVH's unlimited traffic does not explain the price difference. I will highly consider switching to Hetzner. EDIT: correct meaning
EDIT: Misunderstood OP's comment.

That's strange. I remember getting an e-mail from them about it some time ago. Perhaps they had issues e-mailing you. Check your spam folder.
Nope, plenty of email from them. Nothing in spam. Anyway, the proof is in the 264 day uptime!
IIRC there is something called "Live Migration" which could easily explain why you can see 264 days of uptime even with the hypervisors updating below

Was that a form by Microsoft? Would be great if you could share that, I’ve been looking for something like this forever!
Yes. You can find Hetzner's ( ;) ) explanation here: https://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/Microsoft_Blacklist/en . It's the first link in the delisting section: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=614866&clcid I also recommend signing up for SNDS.
So cool, thanks a lot. I asked the Microsoft support twice, they didn’t even understand my problem!
Re: Hetzner Cloud
#159I just wish Hetzner would start offering cheap low-end dedicated servers like OVH's Kimsufi or Online.net's "Personal family" Dedibox offerings...

At least when I was in Iceland traffic to the US was never routed through that cable (from traceroutes).
Quebec appears to be the better choice for cheap renewable energy.
