Have been using them for just over 6 months with 3 machines currently. Highly recommended, no problems at all.
And you can run VMware esxi on these offerings.

Re: Hetzner introduces new server product with insane parameters for 59 EUR/mth
#52Been planning to set up a cluster with Hertzner using the EX 4, so the 4S is like getting 16GB more RAM for 10 Euros more a month. This is great news. One thing I have wondered about is whether hosting in Germany is a good idea. First is the latency issues. Will serving web pages to customers on the west coast of the US really suffer? (this is in the minimum viable product stage-- we're not google yet) Secondly, I'm…
I have some applications logging to my server in hetzner from US (softlayer datacenters), and some from china. So far we didn't had any single issue with latency.

#53Is there a US version of this ?
See my other threads for my touting of Incero.com's WHT deals which get close IMHO.

#54I'm using Hetzner for 10years, with very very few major problems (I only remember 1). I compared them some time ago to EC2 pricewise: http://codemonkeyism.com/dark-side-virtualized-servers-cloud... And setup of a new server is quite fast too.
I agree. Been using Hetzner for over 2 years & loving it. Great value for money IF you know what you are doing.

#55For those wondering, at current exchange rates and with the VAT removed, the price for non-EU customers is US$65.29/m

They are one of the largest hosts in Europe (~50k dedicated servers if I remember correctly). Large doesn't always mean best, though. Similar to OVH, they provide good hardware, reliability and a decent enough network, but if anything goes wrong you best know how to fix it yourself. I also believe their network isn't /as/ good as somewhere like Rackspace however with CDN's etc. that's probably not as much of an issue…
OVH definitely does not provide good hardware; we have more broken disks and NICs there than all our other hosters combined. Edit: I see we might be exceptions. We have been using OVH since 2005, running up to 40 servers about 2 years ago. We are also running at iWeb, Softlayer, Amazon and Leaseweb. Hardware wise the only one we have issues with is OVH, and i'm talking every 2 weeks since 2005 (in 2006 they managed t…
Somebody always has a bad experience with any given company. What I keep wondering about is how to effectively get the collective knowledge out there to figure out whether you're the exception or the rule.
I sort of wish hosting companies would publish the hardware failure rates -as seen by them- too - though I don't know how much of a competitive advantage that would be, if any.

#57I don't see an explanation about VAT, but outside Germany you shouldn't need to pay it, which makes the actual price about 50 euro/month + the one-time 125 euro setup fee.
Sadly I just reserved an instance for one year with Amazon the other month but this looks quite a good offer.

#58Is this host trustworthy ? Feature wise it seems too good to be true: Intel® Core™ i7-2600 Quadcore incl. Hyper-Threading Technology RAM 32 GB DDR3 RAM Hard disks 2 x 3 TB SATA 6 Gb/s HDD 7200 rpm (Software-RAID 1) NIC 1 GBit OnBoard connected at 100 MBit Backup Space 100 GB Traffic Unlimited*
I used to live 3 km from their datacenters here:

Basically in the former East Germany. They are doing things the right way. I am not hosting with them at the moment, but I have been for a couple of years without issues.
You must also know that the EU paid some good money to get the datacenters there as part of economical development initiatives. Hetzner is operating since 1997.

A German company would get 19% back from the Government, but AFAIK a foreign company doesn't have to pay it in the first place, so you can calculate it out. Incredible, maybe they made a mistake on their site. Hetzner has a very good reputation here in Germany, otherwise i would expect something fishy.
Within the EU you need to pay the VAT.
Not if you are a business... we don't pay VAT on anything we buy outside Belgium.
