Moved Next.js production apps to Hetzner two years ago after platform outages elsewhere and reports solid uptime and performance for the price.

A score out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews, so a handful of glowing reviews can’t beat a product many people like.
Most customers praise low prices, solid uptime and good performance, often after leaving AWS, DigitalOcean or OVH.
