I know it's not a like-for-like comparison, I am particularly curious about the price differentials though, AWS is often a premium.

Sorry for my silliness, so 'cloud' is a new name for 'VPS'?
VPS are a part of the cloud offering now. Just like EC2 is part of AWS. Once change is that traditionally VPSs used local disk storage, while cloud servers use network block storage. Usually clouds offer additional higher level features, in addition to basic VMs, such as load balancers, object storage and managed containers. Though Hetzner currently offers very little in that regard.
Hetzner Cloud uses local NVMe SSD storage. They used to have Ceph based network block storage, but deprecated that around 2 years ago.

Yes, but Hetzner costumer service is from another planet. So in case of issues they won't be able to help, and you will have issues.
Hetzner has good support.

#105If anybody has migrated from AWS to Hetzner what was your experience? What kind of cost savings did you see? I know it's not a like-for-like comparison, I am particularly curious about the price differentials though, AWS is often a premium.
Originally they just went with AWS because the developer who did infrastructure stuff was most (only?) used to it and had some certification or similar, without really thinking about why AWS. Reached out to me when they started to wonder why things were so expensive for what they were doing.

#106Does anyone know if Hetzner is looking to open up a datacenter in Australia or in Southeast Asia?
South America would be great as well
Wonder what's the shortest possible latency between those points?
Alternative, more interesting question: Assuming Hetzner have a data center in Germany and one in Finland, where should their next data center be in order to reduce latency as much as possible, in the most countries?

#107I don't seem capable of actually setting up an account with Heztner and logging in. Their security is so tight, it seems to constantly lock me out. What if I were an actual customer? Yikes. Does anyone else have this issue?
Yep: Dear Mr David Allison After reviewing your updated customer information, we have decided to deactivate your account because of some concerns we have regarding this information. Therefore, we have cancelled all your existing products and orders with us. Best regards Your Hetzner Online Team
Can we get some context please, there must be a reason.
Were you able to backup first?

#108Why isn't their US Data Centers not listed in the table of Data Centers they run? https://docs.hetzner.com/general/others/data-centers-and-con...
> Which data centers does Hetzner operate?

#110I'm shocked PE hasn't bought them yet and raised prices.
