Nearly a year in and really satisfied with performance and pricing; support has been responsive and reliability solid.

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.

Nearly 15 years after trying tens of providers: fastest, best support, cheapest, new servers available and billing only for hours used.
Over 15 years from a first-gen i7 to many arm64 VMs, service has been great and pricing acceptable, though extra IPs are getting expensive.
Pays under 10 dollars a month for an 8 GB Hetzner VM even after price hikes, and Hetzner emailed them about a misconfigured public Redis.
Hetzner support is quite good, always quick to respond and resolve; object storage and Storage Box are weaker.
Very transparent pay-as-you-use pricing, easy setup, intuitive UI and great customer service made quick testing a breeze.
Never had any issue beyond a self-inflicted abuse email and recommends Hetzner to friends as cheap with the best service and support.
Twenty years with Hetzner; better support than others, friendly phone support and never any problems.
When they slipped up Hetzner sent a polite warning with remediation steps instead of cutting them off.
Almost 15 years without a problem and urgent support calls answered Sunday nights at 3am.
A VPS plus storage box for 20 euros a month, and a locked-out server got KVM details within 30 minutes on a Friday evening.
Support quickly made an ISO available, EPYC servers perform great and the firewall interface and pricing are great.
Four-plus years with 20-25 VPS: great support, ace performance and notifications when there is a problem.
A user running 20 WordPress sites on a small Hetzner Cloud server has had zero downtime in a year and finds support great.
Hetzner has always been responsive, unlike a cheaper host with no support.
Consistently great Hetzner support, with a human tech fixing a lockout mistake and lenient billing.
Long-time Hetzner customer: several reminder emails over weeks before a block, which prompts payment.
Two VPS and a storage box with never any issues, and a port 25 request was auto-approved in two seconds.
Gets nearly immediate, friendly and helpful responses from Hetzner support.
Never had issues and always kindly helped on the phone.
Emailed that they would rather not send a passport and got the account verified an hour later.
Compared with OVH, Hetzner Cloud is much better for user experience, support and performance with no downtime in 1.5 years.
Four years on a CX11 then the ARM CAX11; support handled payment issues well, with good pricing and reliable infrastructure.
Ten years on Hetzner from EX to AX dedicated and now arm64 cloud servers that feel smoother, with great, fast support.
Moving from GCP to Hetzner Cloud brought noticeable performance gains for less money; dedicated server reliability and remote hands support are excellent.
Six months with zero problems; cheap without hurting performance or support.
Over 10 years with no bigger issues besides occasional hardware failures, and accounting helped with extended invoice terms.
Uses Hetzner as VPS provider and prefers it for support, price and quality.
Happy for years: support always answered fast and a human could be reached by phone.
