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

Is there a migration path for customers like us that currently own a CX10 vServer to, let's say, a new CX11 Cloudnode that is half the price?

Does anyone know if they offer per-customer, or per-project local networking? It is something I can get from Packet.net, but not from Linode or DI (Although Linode promised that it was in their pipeline, I have yet to see it), OVH does offer this but I only experienced pain with their interface and service.

Not from what I can see in the control panel. I personally use zero-tier to connect my servers on a virtual Ethernet adapter. But you probably want to avoid getting an ipv4 if I'm guessing correctly, so I don't think that would work for you.

I have multiple Barebone servers with Hetzner, never had any problems. The only thing I don't like is their control panel. Edit: Their Cloudhosting control panel is top notch.

Hi! :) The whole architecture has been redeveloped from scratch. We have also designed and developed an entirely new control panel called the Hetzner Cloud Console. It is and will be actively worked on to make it as easy to use as possible for our users. Feedback is highly appreciated :) Also the new cloud servers are billed hourly instead of monthly, as the old VPS were. Full disclosure: I work for Hetzner Cloud as…

After all the positive sentiment in this thread I signed up with the cloud service for a side project.

I have to say the UX is beautiful and easy to use. Also, the setup was easier, and performance better than any other provider I was testing. I'm sticking with hetzner.

I hope they grab enough market share to force other providers to lower their prices, Hetzner is like 10x cheaper and on better network and hardware then their competitors.

Aruba Cloud VPS starts from 1€/month for 1 core, 1GB RAM, 20GB SSD and 2TB transfer.

The reason I ask is that I have some specific Windows software and I would like to upload Windows ISO with VirtIO drivers and use my own cd-key instead of paying additional 16 EUR per month for a license that I already have.

Per their FAQ, you can do that.

Nope, just checked - you can't.

Could you please write a support request about this question via Robot? Unfortunately, our technicians do not check social media. (It's too insecure for technical support and we must comply with German/EU data protection laws.) They'll be able to give you a quicker and more detailed answer. --Katie, Marketing, Hetzner Online

I would really like to try Hetzner since it's a respectable company and offers much lower prices than DO or Linode, however, they need an ID verification. Since I am egyptian and have no passport, I cannot register. I hope they find a more resilient way for registration.

I just signed up and needed no verification. Does this differ from country to country?

I have signed up too and send in my ID and CC for verification and yet no reply.

You dedicated servers page doesn't work anymore: https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver?country=us No matter what filter settings (including default) I see 0 results.

Are you still experiencing issues with this? --Katie, Marketing, Hetzner Online

Yes.

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...

Somewhere on their forum (not sure if this has been made public somewhere) they said they're looking to open a datacenter in Finland... Not sure if that helps with your latency problem or not, but options.... :)

They should start operations this year

Is it me or does this look more like those "Cloud VPS" type of services other companies offer. If you use 5x more than your initial plan in a month, does it just scale up automatically or do you have to contact support to upgrade first?
