Similar to French OVH in a lot of way
Except OVH is a haven for nefarious use (seedboxes, etc.) and Hetzner most certainly is not!
Particularly through certain resellers, including the own "budget line" (http://www.kimsufi.co.uk/). Not that I'd know anything about nefariousness, 'onest guv.
Compare with SoftLayer which has decided to charge through the nose for their RAM upgrades: going from 16 to 64GB RAM on their E5 servers is an additional $1200/month. They're far more expensive than e.g. Rackspace there for some reason.
Whilst this might not sound like an enormous issue, DRAM errors are surprisingly common in real deployments[2] and can result in scary things happening to your data. If you're using a machine without ECC memory make sure you're prepared to deal with any possible issues that might arise, especially if it will impact your core business.

Great hosters! - cheap prices for lots of power - everything "just works" (only contacted for questions) - quick, friendly & to the point support service - great uptime - they are eco - 14 days money back (for root servers) Drawbacks - bigger latency for US/Asia/... - you do your own backups - they bill only after the end of month. had problems when card expired
they do offer 100Gb storage space though.
> they bill only after the end of month. had problems when card expired
you blame them when you don't update your payment information? i've been there long enoough to go through several cards, never had problems.
The company rocks :) I have two dedicated servers (EX 6 with ECC) they are awesome. Until now I had no issue with them. I hope they continue this way.

Did you measure the latency difference by any chance? I am really considering buying one host there, would love to get an idea on this.
(this measures the total time to download a static Hello World HTML page 325 bytes in size hosted on IIS from an EX 4S server in Hetzner's DC15 data centre).
any ideas why it has a 32GB limit for windows?
If it is possible to run a hosting service as cheap as this, why is there none like it in the US? I thought the labour, tax and VAT costs in Germany should make it less competitive but this is just way cheaper than anything you can find in the US. Does anyone know of any similar offerings in the States?
If you're from outside the EU you'll probably even get the servers without having to pay the 19% VAT.
