I'm with OVH because of their NA presence (Canada). Prefer dedicated servers because of the bang for the buck. Hopefully that's in Hetzner's roadmap too
How is OVH these days? It's been years since I used them heavily, back when I was doing some game server stuff, and they were the standard in the community I was in.
I often had speed issues between OVH servers in the US and Hetzner servers in Europe. But not sure which fault it was, never got anywhere. Hetzner support was helpful, they claimed it was on the side of OVH. OVH never really got back to me on this.
Hetzner deleted all of my vms after getting erroneously flagged by their abuse department due to my account details. (nothing to do with my machines) They sent me an email saying my account was paused and to contact them to resolve it, which I did within half an hour. My account was reinstated minus all of my environment.. just a blank account. They deleted everything and told me they had no way to restore it. Beware…
I’m running $2500 worth of servers on Hetzner privately since 2015 and about $400 worth of VMs on Hetzner Cloud. The only instance of issues with them was Hetzner locking the outgoing traffic of a VM after it started bursting a few million packets to the local network in an infinite loop. I called them, they explained it, I fixed it and they unblocked it. Pretty happy with Hetzner. The traffic that goes over some of…
$50k+ - how do you get to that? That's pretty insane. Does that include the equivalent EC2/etc on AWS?
Hi there, I am very sorry that you had this negative experience back in 2018. If memory serves correctly, when we launched Hetzner Cloud during this time, there was a large surge in the number of fake accounts new customers tried to make. So I could imagine our teams being overly careful about new accounts, and especially if names didn't quite match up. Usually, we are able to restore data from locked servers/accounts within the first 48 hours, and to the best of my knowledge, we were able to do that back in 2018 as well. So if you responded within 30 minutes, and your account was re-activated, I think this could have been possible in theory. However, I am not, in fact, a technician or member of the cloud support team, and I am not aware of the details of your case. Perhaps there was something else that happened with your servers or data that I am unaware of. I am very sorry that you had this negative experience with us. Naturally, we don't want any of our customers to feel this way. --Katie, Marketing, Hetzner Online
Anyone know of a similar server case I could purchase? I really love the simple utilitarian look of the case with a single fan shroud over the CPU/RAM.

Current pricing tiering in AWS, as per us-east-1 and eu-central-1, for a total of 950TB:
Any notable competitive advantages over DigitalOcean, Linode, Vultr, and all the other "starting at $5" copycat options in the U.S.? Looking at their price sheet, and converting Euro to U.S. Dollar, it appears that their "$5 droplet" currently costs $4.05. You'd have to make sure you pay with a credit card that doesn't charge foreign transaction fees, and you'd have to hope that the currency exchange rate doesn't shi…
20TB/month of xfer with Hetzner. DigitalOcean, for example, caps you at 1-4 TB for the smaller droplets. And the Hetzner 2 vCPU / 2GB Ram / 40Gb disk space is ~$5.50 USD/month. Digital Ocean's closest offering has one less vCPU, 15GB more disk space, but is $10/month.
Please don't compare Hetzner to the abomination that is OVH. OVH is more or less ok for non-critical fun projects, but Hetzner is often cheaper and always more reliable. Hetzner used to be only significantly better than OVH. Now they are in a different league.
For me it's the other way around in EU at least. OVH's network is light years ahead of Hetnzer's.
What good is a good network if one of the ends is literally on fire?
I was hoping for dedicated servers, hetzners dedicated offerings are really great. Hopefully they'll add it soon.
Hi there - We are currently just focusing on the new location for cloud servers. Depending on how successfully things go there, we may consider adding other products in the future. But we will discuss that internally first before making any announcements. Sorry that I can't give you a firm yes or no answer. --Katie, Marketing, Hetzner Online
