Hey team #python. I'm looking for some feedback / practical experience from you all.

Hetzner Cloud

https://www.hetzner.com/cloud/

Who’s using it? How reliable is it in the US? Been at Digital Ocean since forever. Now that Hetzner is in the US, I can get double the server for 1/3th (!) the price.

Is it all sunshine and rainbows or are the reasons to stay away?

@mkennedy Another German hoster just launched in the US. If you're looking for even cheaper servers, take a look at Netcup: https://www.netcup.com/en/server/vps

@preya @mkennedy Netcup is a service/daughter from my former employer and I can highly recommend it

@mkennedy @paepke their prices are hard to beat. And I’ve never had problems with performance or availability. Their Webhosting products have some quirks, but server products are really good imo.

@preya @paepke Thanks. For all of these places, I’m just looking for one big server I can setup and run our docker cluster on. I don’t care about CPanels, built-in app support, hosted DBs, etc. :)

@mkennedy @paepke Yeah, then they're a good fit. I've been using their VPS products for years and I'm a very happy customer.

@preya @paepke No contracts? Paid monthly? Hourly?

@mkennedy @paepke Depends on the project. Have been using all variants. Mostly paid monthly. If you know which product you want to get, I can send you a voucher for VPS and RS (root servers) products.

@preya @paepke Cool, thank you. What’s the deal with a root server? Is it physical hardware? Just dedicated CPUs on a VM? I wasn’t clear from their website.

@mkennedy @paepke Yeah, both products are virtualized. RS guarantees you dedicated ressources and VPS doesn't. But honestly, I've never noticed a difference for my kind of projects (typically web applications or self-hosted infrastructure services). I'm running customer projects and private projects all on their VPS products for many years. Only complaint I have: No automated/scheduled backup solution (you need to trigger them manually).

@preya @mkennedy @paepke

In November I am using their root server products for 7 years without any issues.

They eagerly Report issues. The server management options are simple but sufficient. (Simpler than AWS or azure :blobcatgrimacing: ) And they are cheap.
