About Hetzner

8.3/10
auto_awesomeDohoHub verdict

Hetzner is the best value VPS provider in Europe — unbeatable price-to-performance, a 99.9% uptime commitment of its own, and a developer-friendly API with Terraform and Kubernetes support. The trade-offs are limited support hours (ticket-only, no live chat) and no managed database services. For self-sufficient dev teams and startups who want maximum compute per euro, there is simply no better option on the market.

Frequently asked questions

Why are Hetzner prices so much lower than US cloud providers?expand_more
Hetzner owns its German and Finnish data centers end-to-end, builds its own hardware, and sells directly without sales teams or marketing overhead. The savings go straight into the price — while still advertising 99.9% uptime and holding ISO 27001 certification.
Is there a free trial or money-back guarantee?expand_more
New cloud customers get €20 in credit to try the platform, and all products carry a 14-day right of withdrawal (German BGB). Dedicated servers have no free trial, but hourly-billed cloud servers cost nothing once deleted.
Does the price change at renewal?expand_more
No. Hetzner has no intro pricing or renewal markup — what you pay in month one is what you pay in month twelve. DohoHub tracks all Hetzner prices daily so any change is visible immediately.
What is the difference between CX, CPX, CAX and CCX?expand_more
CX is the cost-optimized shared vCPU line (Intel/AMD), CAX the same on Ampere ARM chips, CPX is the regular-performance AMD line with newer hardware generations, and CCX gives you dedicated AMD EPYC vCPU cores for consistent performance. All include 20 TB of EU traffic.
Do cloud servers include an IPv4 address?expand_more
A primary IPv4 is available for €0.50/month (dedicated servers: €1.70/month) and every server includes a free /64 IPv6 subnet. DohoHub prices track the server itself; add ~€0.50 for a full public-facing setup.
