Hetzner

“They blocked my account almost immediately after registration, and they refused to unblock it even after I sent them my ID.”

“which has great prices, a great managed environment and lot of features that give you a reliable structure to work on”

“They control the overarching hypervisor and control plane managing your servers/VM's, so there's no way to know what capabilities have been implemented.”

“Everyone's prices have gone up and i checked if i could go elsewhere and they are still cheaper for their quality level.”

“Its just simply unsustainable and burns a lot of trust/good will if you increase your prices 3x in such a short period of time”

“how can you imagine being competitive with US cloud providers by raising the prices so much, in such a short time”

“the latter have much better performance (especially since they give you basically infinite IOPS, which matters a lot for your database)”

“I will have to shut down some hobby servers I was hosting because I can't afford to host them at these prices”

“Not even because of the price increases themselves, but rather because the way in which they've communicated those.”

“You take that away and their unique offering vanishes and makes them pretty pointless to even consider as a provider.”

“Paying $5 a month for Digital Ocean or Hetzner will save you from the pain of using any of these cloud platform for just a simple VM.”

“Hetzner is famously aggressive with their KYC (Know Your Customer) requirements, often locking new sign-ups and asking for photos of ID.”

“Hardware I rend from Hetzner is usually 16 core AMD with 128GB RAM and couple of nvme's. Never had single failure.”

“I've seen couple of small firms using hetzner very successfully and saving a lot of money compared to whatever cloud offering”

“It's very budget friendly and has a very small list of services so its much harder to screw yourself into a situation where its hard to leave.”

“Even compared to cheap baremetal providers like Hetzner, the Mac Mini pays for itself in a few months of cloud costs.”

“Everything which cloud companies provide just cost so much, my own postgres running with HA setup and backup cost me 1/10th the price”

“the resources available on each server are so great in comparison to DO that there's plenty of room to grow vertically”

“It is so freeing to not have to deal with big tech's VMs and their cumbersome and soul-sucking steps and documentation.”

“If you do those things with Hetzner instead, you would still be spending less than you did with Digital Ocean.”

“I moved two servers, one from Linode and the other from DO to Hetzner a few months ago, with similar savings.”

“dedicated infrastructure gave us more predictable benchmarking and reduced some of the maintenance burden”

“Their operations are so opaque that if they were refusing service to people with green eyes we wouldn't even know.”

“you're getting a couple of disks, many GB of RAM, and some on-site 24/7 support, limitless network traffic”

“Hetzner should not be compared to AWS or GCP for pricing. It should be compared to Vultr, Linode or DigitalOcean.”

“I'd rather rent baremetal from Hetzner than VPS from EC2/GCP/etc if I have enough workload to justify it.”

“I also agree that Hetzner is a reliable provider; I have used them a bunch of times in the last ten years.”

“we switched to Hetzner, halved our bill, and it works exactly as well as the AWS products we used to use”

“I moved my stuff to Hetzner. Obv I have no idea about your situation, but I found it fairly trivial for my stuff.”

“I have a bunch of Hetzner boxes for different web projects that I've had forever and never heard a peep from them.”

“None of them which has any issues as far as I know. They used to have some issues with the very old stuff in Falkstien.”

“it only works for customers who have logged in and they can only login entirely if they give their credit/debit card info.”

“That's been my experience with Hetzner. A lot of people get butthurt that a business dares to verify who they're dealing with”

“the bureaucratic paper process of interacting with them and continuing to interact with them is just... awful”

“I was unable to verify myself by any acceptable means due to being based in a country other than that of my passport.”

“While I'm a happy customer, they're well-known for being *very* thorough with identification during on-boarding.”

“If you know what you're doing Hetzner is godsend, they give you hardware and several DCs and it's up to you what you can do.”

“Hetzner's price of $1.20/TB ($0.0012 / GB) for internet traffic is an order of magnitude less than what AWS charges”

“Companies using Hetzner cloud or servers having thousands of customers and paying 50-100 people are running just fine”

“Hertzner allows you to rent servers by the hour, so you can just do that and only pay for the 2-3 days you need them.”
