Hi there, would you mind giving me the abuse ID for this case. (When someone creates an abuse report with us, our confirmation email includes an abuse ID in the subject line.) If you still have that, and you would like me to ask a colleague about this case, please let me know. --Katie, Hetzner Online
To the best of my recollection I was never assigned or at least told one. I was not a customer so when my contact attempts were not ignored or answered with boilerplate, I was asked for my customer details, which I could not provide. No customer details, no support. The channels to reach you were pretty limited and hard to find when I tried. I assure you, I tried everything short of getting a lawyer to send you paper…

#122It looks as a job for Cloudflare: https://cloudflaremirrors.com/ But i don't know who is responsible for that.
While I have mixed feelings about Cloudflare, I don't see why you have been downvoted. This is on topic for the discussion, already implemented for a couple distros, etc. The question of "who is responsible": anyone is free to run their own mirror, after all this software is freely redistributable. As for "why not", if I were to lead a project like Alpine, I would insist that the org stays in control of its own infra…
presumably because it's a silly idea, given Cloudflare isn't a colo or dedicated server company and they won't let you just rack machines in their DCs for the same reason Google won't.

Hetzner Cloud is definitely professional enough to place most production systems on it. Sure, servers might die at times, but this also happens at AWS and can be avoided by using multiple servers in a HA configuration.
Are you running a production system on it? One that makes money and loses money when down?
It's highly available though and the redundant replicas run on their separated physical machines

Single machines die (and can't be started again for a few minutes to hours) every few months, but that's acceptable for me, and we also similar things happen at AWS.

Hi again, Looking on the date for that, we don't have data about that case simply because of data protection laws that require us to delete data after a certain time. Does the abuse still exist? If so, perhaps you can create a new ticket (and include the old abuse ID from 2011 so that they understand you tried to report this in the past. You can also include a link to this thread in hackernews and mention my name.) W…

I saw their original announcement and they said that their infra (3 AMD EPYC from generations ago, 3 Intel servers from 2 generations ago, 2 80-core ARM servers) would cost $24k/month at Equinix prices. I checked Hetzner's equivalent offerings, it would be ~$1.5k/month for newer AMD servers. It would probably be even less if they went with older servers listed at their auction. And it probably would be even less if t…
VPS business is very different than the "cloud" space. Yes yes there are cloud features now offered by VPS providers, but they are add ons to chase demand, they aren't positioning their offering to appeal to users wanting a comprehensive suite of services on the platform. Managed databases, SMTP as a service, deployment as a service etc etc etc. For that reasons market rates are different. For Hetzner to bump their p…
