They have German and Finnish data centers, as well as American. Pricing is pretty competitive, and unlike anything super autoscalable in AWS, it's predictable.

They offer an email service that comes with their basic webhosting service, which is a bundle that costs less for 100 inboxes than Google Suite or Proton for just one user, if all you need is email.

Note that you can’t host plex servers from hetzner because plex decided that too many piracy oriented plex servers were being hosted on hetzner hosting and their solution was to range ban all of hetzner.

Fuck plex, Jellyfin is superior if only because some bullshit company makes decisions on behalf of users that don’t reflect the users needs but the fact that the company is perpetually trying to hide the fact that their products core feature is that it’s built around media piracy. Jellyfin has to do the stupid wink wink we don’t do piracy here because laws are stupid but at least they won’t stop you from using good cheap hosting, collect data on you to share with third party analytics and advertisers, or remove watch together

If you're looking for a dedicated server there it's always worth checking their "Serverbörse". Sometimes customers want non-standard hardware upgrades in their servers and when they cancel they can't add just rent them out in their normal price classes again so you can get servers with random upgrades at a discount.

Writing from Feddit.dk which is on Hetzner :)

Yup, excellent platform. We're using them for cloud, bare metal, and storage. We are in fact running a kubernetes cluster on their cloud servers. Been running for years, absolutely no problems whatsoever. I'm also using them personally and you can't find better pricing anywhere.

We use them in our company and they have great support and are are very transparent. I can only recommend them.

Fantastic company - been using them for years. We also host the website with Hetzner.

Hetzner is great! I have used Hetzner for a couple of years now and never had problems.

Been on Hetzner for a couple of years, run a few servers, never had any troubles.

Hetzner is great, have been using their server auction servers for many Proxmox hobby projects. Just hoping we'll have proper Cloud contenders in Europe one day, to take on AWS / Azure / GCP.

Those big players each offer hundreds if not thousands of niche, sometimes partially overlapping, services. What are the things that you need out of a "proper Cloud contender" that would allow you to ditch AWS/Azure/GCP at work?

It's not so much about me or my work, but many European governments and businesses rely on these US cloud companies due to the lack of proper EU alternatives.

That's true, but at the same time, many businesses refuse to use those big cloud companies. Pricing can get pretty unpredictable if you have automatic scaling and an engineer fucks up a config or something.
