That's strange. I remember getting an e-mail from them about it some time ago. Perhaps they had issues e-mailing you. Check your spam folder.

Nope, plenty of email from them. Nothing in spam. Anyway, the proof is in the 264 day uptime!

You can freeze a VPS, save its state and restore it later without affecting the uptime. The clock would get skewed (system time vs hardware time difference), but unless you have something that detects that you won't even notice it.

Why do I see a higher price in the web console than on the product page?

Because product page doesn't include VAT. But once you login the VAT is applied on the prices.

EDIT: Misunderstood OP's comment.

I think this is an example of a rather common mistake ESL speakers make regarding the meaning of "hardly".

Good catch. Another universal ESL mistake is to use "funny" when one means "fun."

Meanwhile, in Spanish I would mix up cebolla vs cepillo vs cabello vs caballo.

I'm thinking soon "enough" (as in: personal server) compute/ram/disk will be free and you can play with servers for nothing riding completely on the backs of larger paying customers. Like with wordpress.com or any service with a free tier really.

I was just speaking with their customer support about this and it appears (if I understood correctly) that this offering will be replacing the current CX line, which has a lot of SSD space at a competitive price (unlike the new offering). Since I really need the SSD offered by the current/previous CX line (it was the #1 reason that made me move to Heztner) it seems that I'll have to find a new cloud provider... My ex…

You can still order the previous CX line of servers (the "vServers") via the customer administration interface. There is no official EOL posted yet for the previous CX line. --Katie, Marketing

See this on why they won't peer with Deutsche Telekom: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10645577

I know that Telekom has a horrible attitude towards peering. But they're the only provider of high speed internet in many regions of Germany. Other cloud providers (e.g. OVH) also pay so I doubt Telekom will change soon.

They offer Deutsche Telekom traffic. You just need to enable it https://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/Double_Paid_Traffic/en

Been using Hetzner for years, their hardware's has been rock solid, predictable pricing with sweet price/performance ratio resulting in large savings from consolidating existing AWS EC2 instances. Still using AWS for Apps which rely on cloud features, e.g. SES/RDS/etc but for static servers Hetzner is now our goto. Super exciting to see them entering the cloud space and offering easy snapshots + backups, should open…

in my previous gig we used hetzner server to have several VMs and storage of that server failed , resulting that all our production servers went down. luckily we had backups, and restored partially our production, but after that incident we moved everything to DigitalOcean, just to not risk anymore. so our experience was bitter with Hetzner.

Anyone know why this was upvoted? I can't tell it apart from the dozens of other "good" cloud providers (Lightsail, Digital Ocean, Vultr, Linode)

Less than 1/3 the price of the equivalent Linode and DO offerings at 2GB.

couldn't you in reality just use the data from WHOIS protection on a domain?

People need to actually be able to contact you with that, by letter, fax, phone, email, etc. All WHOIS protection services I’ve seen until now either ignore fax, phone and letter, or just respond with "this method of contact is ignored, please use the email"

But you can put your real data as an administrator contact on the whois entry. It doesn't always show the domain provider's information.
