Five years on Hetzner dedicated; a Kubernetes project runs under 80 dollars a month versus 60 a day on OpenShift.
Two years in; 100 and 150 terabyte servers are an amazing value, with just a couple of drives crashing.
Has never had an outage on their Hetzner dedicated server, though they accept the tradeoff of no real SLAs or reliability guarantees in exchange for cheap prices.
Support, stock server delivery and pricing are unmatched, although hardware RAID controllers on SX machines fail fairly often.
Runs their machines on Hetzner for about $50 where the equivalent would cost around $900 on AWS, keeping CloudFront, Route53, S3 and RDS on AWS linked by VPN; the only downside is instant autoscaling, which they don't need.
Hetzner dedicated servers are still cost efficient for long-held servers, but new VMs are not.
Moved all personal stuff to a Hetzner bare-metal box and hasn't touched cloud since.
No close second to Hetzner bare metal for video transcoding.
Only dedicated servers, some at 19-25 euros, and always more than satisfied with price performance.
Running three-node high-availability Kubernetes clusters on bare metal delivers noticeably more hardware resources and zero virtualization overhead compared to cloud VMs.
Chose Hetzner as the best company for renting dedicated servers and VMs.
Two years on a dedicated root server without outages from Hetzner and the best price to performance.
After a price hike at the old provider they got a much faster Hetzner dedicated server with more RAM and a better CPU for less.
Moved two companies entirely to Hetzner and stays for bandwidth, support speed and price.
Moved game servers off shared hosting to a Hetzner AX42 after everything else was too expensive; amazing prices.
After a 80 dollar DigitalOcean VPS ran at 50 percent CPU with 20k daily visits, moved to a Hetzner AX42 and has stayed a customer.
Fourteen years on Hetzner for stability and pricing and would not switch even now.
Moved a dedicated server from OVH to Hetzner because it was cheaper at about 36 EUR a month.
Over a decade in the UK: good support, excellent automated build system and the server auction is a brilliant way to find bargains.
Uses a Hetzner dedicated server in Finland for Australian users, getting a 2x10 TB spinning-disk ZFS pool for under $80 a month extra, with the extra latency fine for serving business documents.
Found Hetzner searching for a reasonably priced dedicated server and stayed for the prices and support.
A 112 dollar a month AX102 replaced four GCP servers costing 780 dollars, and migrating took 30 minutes.
Hetzner dedicated root servers have never let them down and host many sites at a good price.
