#12Not sure about their cloud services, but their dedicated servers offering is unmatched anywhere. Unfortunately they only have DCs in Finland and Germany, would love to see it expanded. Anyone here sitting on any information if they are planning to extend their locations?
This. Cloud is everywhere nowadays, but most dedicated servers are outrageously expensive or have bandwidth limitations (I'm looking at you OVH). Servers on Hetzner's auction might be pushing 10 years, but who cares as long as they work just fine.
knownhost has a pretty good dedicated server offering in the US

#13For me, Hetzner, Starlink, and Tailscale are 2014-era startups: stellar products that turn you into a zealous militant for the companies. This is a very exciting development. I am very much looking forward to their dedicated offering extending to the US.
> For me, Hetzner .... are 2014-era startups
Huh? I'm pretty sure the first time I heard of Hetzner was almost a decade before that. Wikipedia says they were founded in 1997.
EDIT: Ok, I take it you mean they are like 2014-era startups? A quick Google search tells me, Starlink is the only one of them that could be dated to 2014. But IMO still a strange comparison. With their business model and history I wouldn't exactly call Hetzner a startup.

#14I don't know how to feel about this. One the one hand this is good for sites that needs to be more global. But I mainly build stuff for Europe and I don't want anything to do with USA when storing personal data. I hope they keep the seperation between Europe and US clear.

#15I like hetzner but they do not support dnssec yet.

#16Hetzner has a seriously flawed fraud detection system. There are multiple documented review complaints. Seriously, try opening an account from a third world / low income country (non EU/US/UK/CA/AU/NZ), your order will be flagged immediately. If they don't want orders from those countries, they should explicitly say so.

One can hope, otherwise I can see European customers move off Hetzner. We have a number of customers who do not want US staff to be able to access their servers and VMs.

Their offerings are great. The best server for the money that I’ve found, though, is Netcup.
I’m glad to see a Hetzner DC in the US, though. I hope they shake up our ridiculously overpriced cloud offerings this side of the Atlantic.

I think the main thing for GDPR is that US based employees should not have access to manage EU datacenters remotely.

Same, have been a happy Hetzner customer for 8+ years because they've consistently offered the best dedicated server pricing with essentially free (20TB) bandwidth. Unfortunately they're only offering their "Cloud" hosting packages for the time being, so it'll be a while before they start offering dedicated servers. Once they offer dedicated servers in US and a managed RDS service I can finally look at moving off AWS…
Yes! And their support is amazing too. Doing business with Hetzner somehow always feels very different to e.g. Amazon, or the other tech giants.
I wonder if it may be related to the general business mentality (Germany vs USA), and not only the company size.
