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
Earlier quoted context omitted.
They are also in process of building out in Finland ( https://www.cinia.fi/en/archive/hetzner-data-center-park-hel... ). There's a direct GER-FIN fiber link laid in the Baltic, owned partially by Hetzner ( https://www.cinia.fi/en/services/international-connectivity-... ).
Makes Finland sense if you want to connect to Asian customers? Is there a good link Finland-JP/Korea/Singapore? Otherwise I fail to see why Finland makes sense, unless you need cheaper energy for applications that don't need low latency.

There is still a demand for dedicated servers, although it is becoming more and more niche, I think.
There is a big pit in between own DC, and a lot of VM's in terms of economic scalability.
Own DC pays pack when you have 500+ to 1000+ machines in a single location.
I can't tell it apart from the dozens of other "good" cloud providers (Lightsail, Digital Ocean, Vultr, Linode)

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.
Odd thing to note here. I've never heard of a case in Germany where the hoster would enforce this law on behalf of the state.
Is Hetzner not known to generally be a "bad" host? I have suffered so much abuse at the hands of their clients (DOS attacks, aggressive spidering/SQL Injection probing) that I've blocked their entire IP space on the majority of my client networks. I've never received a single response from their abuse report email/tool.
What i would love to see offered by hetzner is loadbalancers :)
Shouldn't be too hard to set up yourself. As their traffic is so cheap, external vs. internal traffic doesn't really matter.
