#122Do you support any other PaaS-API (E.G. CF) instead of your own hcloud cli?
We offer a Terraform plugin: https://github.com/hetznercloud/terraform-provider-hcloud --Katie, Marketing, Hetzner Online

Why don't you get a passport, government ID, or driver's license? I'm honestly interested, if that's not too personal to ask.
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.
Because of stolen credit cards? They are minimising potential damages like this. Malicious actors are less likely to give their ID to send spam and ID cards are harder to steal than Credit cards :)

If they open a DC in the US, then - by the US laws - their US company will have to provide the data even from German DCs when requested by the US government. So it is maybe better not to enter the US...
Good point. Maybe if they opened a DC in Greenland or Iceland.
Iceland would theoretically be great, ideal location for US and Europe. But they'd need to lay a cable first, traffic Iceland-US is currently routed through Denmark/UK.

Shouldn't be too hard to set up yourself. As their traffic is so cheap, external vs. internal traffic doesn't really matter.

Hetzner is easily 30% off OVH and half the price of other hosting providers (VPS and bare metal). So nothing surprising here. They have a cheap cost base (data centres in rural areas and wholesale electricity prices aren't that high in Germany) which probably explains most of that. OVH had basically the same price but their heavy investments in new DCs have made them more expensive. Since Hetzner doesn't invest a lot…
Worth mentioning SoYouStart, OVH's low-end brand. I believe the way it works is that OVH is current-gen hardware, and SoYouStart is the hand-me-downs (which I think is a great model)
What really bothers me with SYS is the lack of ECC ram. Very few servers have it (and sometimes without support by the CPU). Wouldn't set up anything processing data without ECC.
Re: Hetzner Cloud
#1272gb ram minimum, nice. Do they still require a scan of your id/passport though?
Yes. We check IDs of our new customers. We find that this is one of the most effective ways of preventing abuse. A short time after we have verified your ID, the personal data we collected to process your order will be deleted in accordance with German data protection laws. After your first order, you don't need to provide your ID again. --Katie, Marketing, Hetzner Online
Can you confirm that you delete the ID after verification? Your sentence seems like a lawyer's answer.
Re: Hetzner Cloud
#128Uh, what? 14U colo rack space for 100 Euros per month[1], that's insane -- I must be missing something. [1] https://www.hetzner.com/colocation/13-rack
That’s about common for colocation in larger German datacenters, so I don’t think you’re missing anything.

From my experience this is false. Hetzner reacts to abuse notices and I never received a server with blacklisted IP addresses. The only organization that caused issues is Microsoft / Outlook.com, but they seem to block every IP address by default. I was able to unblock myself by filling out a form and waiting a few hours for all my servers so far.
Was that a form by Microsoft? Would be great if you could share that, I’ve been looking for something like this forever!
Yes. You can find Hetzner's ( ;) ) explanation here: https://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/Microsoft_Blacklist/en.
It's the first link in the delisting section: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=614866&clcid
I also recommend signing up for SNDS.
Re: Hetzner Cloud
#130Is the location of the cloud-server still Nürnberg/Falkenstein? The prices seem to be very low.
They are also in process of building out in Finland ( https://www.cinia.fi/en/archive/hetzner-data-center-park-hel... ). There's a direct GER-FIN fiber link laid in the Baltic, owned partially by Hetzner ( https://www.cinia.fi/en/services/international-connectivity-... ).
Makes Finland sense if you want to connect to Asian customers? Is there a good link Finland-JP/Korea/Singapore?
Otherwise I fail to see why Finland makes sense, unless you need cheaper energy for applications that don't need low latency.
