in reply to Hetzner • •I do recommend friend to use Hetzner as it's very fast to setup, cheap enouch and in case of problems has short intervention times.
(I would also love to have a FreeBSD rescue system back like you did originally, though…)

For anyone looking for good local EU alternative ways of storing and maintaining files, check out Storage Share 👍

Currently, I am thinking about migrating my backup to Object Storage.
I would recommend the service because of its stellar availability and of course the price.

Ok, sorry ich möchte gerne in deutsch schreiben. Ist wirklich grossartig das ihr hier seit, nur ich frage mich warum hostet ihr eine webseite von der AfD, die eine rassistiscge partei ist.

Historically, also Root servers, but happy to Not care for SMART, Grub, RAID etc.
Reason for a recommendation: Price per RAM/CPU was and is always great. API and Terraform integration useful, Availability in general very good, German server location is a great plus for privacy conscious customers.

Julius Lisauskas
in reply to Hetzner • • •using your cloud offering - multiple ARM based VPS, LoadBalancer and plenty of volumes.
Why I like it - ARM instances are cheaper, they provision really fast. Volumes - allows to reattach them to other instance if needed helping with migration or easy rebuild of VM without losing important data.
Lastly - LoadBalancers - allows to keep single IP and route it to different VM’s without issues.

Also, bonus points for setting up mastodon.hetzner.social instead of just making an account on mastodon.social like some companies do.

There are several images of such things already federated (meaning they have been downloaded onto your server by the Mastodon software for caching) to mastodon.hetzner.social.
This is not a joke. This is a serious question. You're violating your own terms of service & it's confusing.

I use an AX42 in Helsinki to virtualize various servers via Proxmox (including game servers, web servers, test servers for further training for work). I also use a CAX in your Hetzner Cloud in Falkenstein. A mail server (Mailcow) for various domains runs on this server.
I am very satisfied with Hetzner's servers and services and can definitely recommend them.
Keep up the good work.

Cloud VMs, vSwitches, Storage Boxes, DNS API – everything just works.
Even on Easter Monday, Hetzner replaced failed hardware for free, ran full checks, gave KVM access & offered to send the defective disks by mail for a small fee.
Next: Managed Nextcloud with S3 storage for clients.
Root servers, client projects, Docker backups – Hetzner powers it all.
Great performance, fair prices, top support. Highly recommend.

in reply to Hetzner • • •It’s rare to find a hosting provider that feels like part of your own team – but Hetzner does.
We had unexpected hardware issues on a live system, and their response was immediate: diagnostics, KVM access, free replacement parts – no red tape, no delays.
That kind of support is hard to come by.
For us, Hetzner isn’t just infrastructure – it’s peace of mind.
