#242It seems like the option for backup space (external storage) does not exist like in their vServers. I hope they will return it because they offered really cheap storage compared to Vultr and DO.

#243Hetzner require your ID before you create any server. This is huge inconvenience. So i opted to DO and scaleway and never looked back.

You can still order the previous CX line of servers (the "vServers") via the customer administration interface. There is no official EOL posted yet for the previous CX line. --Katie, Marketing
Thank you, that wasn't clear from my previous interactions. It would be great to have an EOL warning at least a few months before a service line is discontinued, just to provide enough time for customers to move critical/production workloads to another infrastructure provider.
I seriously don't understand why the support reply got downvoted ...

They require ID the first time. It's inconvenient, but given the price difference vs. DO, it's very much worth it.

I showed them my government ID but they refused, understandably because it's in Arabic language. They asked for an English passport. But since I didn't have one, I couldn't continue the registration. It's really frustrating. Why isn't my credit card enough to verify my identity? Almost all top cloud/vps providers don't ask such questions.
Maybe you could get them to accept a notarized translation (Beglaubigte Übersetzung) of your ID. It's gonna add about 50€ up-front cost, so I don't know if that's worth the price or the hassle at your project scope.
No, thanks :D. 50 euros are about 1000 EGP. I could issue 10 passports with that amount of money :D

Me neither. I upvoted it.

#248That's really cheap. With really good features. However, what keeps me on Linode is that they have a London datacentre with excellent peering. I've seen 9ms pings, 150 miles away. Makes for seriously fast websites (in concert with good development processes). Hetzner responds in 31-35ms from here. That might be Good Enough™ for many applications but it's not as special. I've never been this tempted to jump ship thoug…
Honestly, no user will notice that. You need at least 10 roundtrips for 20ms difference to be noticeable.
Very different obviously if you have APIs that require low latency.

I am also on Linode as its price point is its strength. Really considering if Hetzner would charge forex on US cards, otherwise, seems like a good plan.
Does anybody know if Hetzner charges forex on US debit/credit cards ?
They charge in € so you need a card without FX fee.

I think it's more complicated than that. I was able to create an account and start a server without an ID whatsoever.
