Hetzner is one of those "just take my money" services, so more power to them. Besides, for some reason I always thought they charge hourly but show pricing in monthly format for easier pricing.

Are you sure about that? I know of a precedent in Poland, where a company refused to service (print some kind of invitation cards) some LGBT people, and was punished for it. I imagine the laws in Germany are similar to the laws in Poland in that regard, both countries being in the European Union. In USA, I really doubt any company could refuse to serve black people. Or women. I wonder if the downvoters of my previous…

Please note that Hetzner does this only in couple cases: a) fake account data ; b) previous strikes (unpaid invoices, abuse etc..) with them ; c) in some cases customer is from country they do not do business with. I bet gazzilion OP above is within a or b
Their ToS also classifies Crypto-Mining, farming or plotting (whatever that is) as grounds for cancellation. Also everything forbidden by German law results in a cancellation.

protected factors are: race or ethnic background, gender, religion or belief, disability, age, or sexual orientation.
belief has a very high bar to meet, you are for example still allowed to discriminate against members of a political party.
discriminating based on location matching ip adress or not doing business with certain countrys is fully legal

I don't know about the downvotes, and I'm not a lawyer so take this with a grain of salt, but there's a difference between a service to the public (e.g. a café or a restaurant) and a service such as Hetzner.
