Summary
Hetzner Online GmbH
hosting dedicated cloud
Hetzner is a German hosting provider popular for inexpensive dedicated servers,
cloud instances, and colocation, with data centers in Germany, Finland, and the
United States.
What it's used for
- Budget-friendly dedicated and cloud servers used by developers, self-hosters, and small businesses.
- General-purpose hosting — websites, game servers, build runners, VPNs, and hobby projects.
Notable
- Because it is cheap and self-service, Hetzner space hosts a huge mix of legitimate projects alongside occasional abuse, so IPs here vary widely in reputation.
- Hetzner publishes clear abuse-handling processes and acts on reports.
Interesting
- Hetzner runs large solar-powered and energy-efficient data center campuses and competes largely on price-per-performance rather than managed services.
