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.
That's what typical response times look like: http://i45.tinypic.com/qq1xmd.png (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).
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
I'm also a customer for quite some time with various servers. Pros: - virtual private servers (VPS) have a tun/tap device so that you can use the VPS as a VPN server. this is not necessarily common with all hosters - good speed/connection/reliability - good hardware for a fair price Cons: - I usually don't need to talk to customer support often, but I rent a managed server and once in a while, they shut it down for a…
I agree they should be more specific, but most people would reasonably assume Tuesday night to be Tuesday->Wednesday, as Monday->Tuesday is Tuesday morning.

> Except OVH is a haven for nefarious use (seedboxes, etc.) Particularly through certain resellers, including the own "budget line" ( http://www.kimsufi.co.uk/ ). Not that I'd know anything about nefariousness, 'onest guv.
Their french site has slightly better prices for some reason: http://www.kimsufi.com/fr/
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?
There are some other companies in Germany and France that operate for over a decade at very affordable prices. OVH, Strato, 1&1 to name some. If you're from outside the EU you'll probably even get the servers without having to pay the 19% VAT.
Companies never pay VAT anyway, usually professional services display mainly prices without it.

Their VPS service looks fantastic also: http://www.hetzner.de/en/hosting/produktmatrix_vserver/vserv... Their 2GB plan is 3x cheaper than Linode…and you get over 4x the data transfer! Does anyone know how the performance compares?
If you're after any specific benchmarks give me a yell and I'll see if I can provide one for you.
