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.
What other services fall into the "just take my money" category? I fully agree, Hetzner is a good deal.

Literally this. Their staff won't provide any details, nor even a route towards a solution. When I asked what they suggest doing in this situation, they simply stopped responding.
Of course they don't. If they tell you why they have banned you, if you were a scammer, you'd know how they caught you and what to do better next time. That's why none of the fraud prevention systems, be they at a tech company or a bank, tell you exactly why you've been banned/denied.
Either way their reasoning is flawed. An actual fraudster will simply keep trying and find out themselves, because they have nothing to lose. Therefore it's security through obscurity at best. Meanwhile legitimate customers/prospects suffer.

Hopefully the people that are running it now are better than the people that started it, however I will never use Hetzner's services for anything again as long as I live.

#196I've heard that Hetzner is a good provider, so I want to buy a cheap unmanaged VPS server in the USA. But can not find any mention about VPS. Any help, please? Just need to replace this one (the same bad story $$$ as Netlify recently): https://www.leaseweb.com/fr/cloud/virtual-server
Managed virtual servers are available here: https://www.hetzner.com/managed-server/
Managed servers are something different entirely.

Be ready to handover a copy of your national ID/passport
I've had a similar experience where my account was banned despite providing all the info they requested (including my passport). Hetzner was the only provider where I was banned despite providing everything I was asked for. I've deployed services on plenty of providers (AWS, GCP, Digital Ocean, Vultr, etc) without issue. Apparently, this has been an on-going struggle for them. A few weeks ago they were even called ou…

I sttongly disagree based in my interaction with them. They were very rude. That said, their services are reasonably priced and they have been competent throughout my time with them. Hetzner would be far more appealing if they ever decide to muzzle their rebid support team.
> They were very rude. No, they were German. Knowledgeable and efficient, but they won't coddle you or pretend that their life depend on your miser account. If you have a problem that can not be solved by their standard process, they will rather drop you than try to accommodate you.
yeah they dropped my account and kept the money, now I know how they can be that cheap

Have you reached out to Hetzner? Feels like they should waive those bills in exchange for the free dev work you do for them.
I haven't actually. I believe they do offer modest amounts of credit for creating useful libraries, documentation and such targeting their platform, but I never really looked into it.

#200If 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.
