in my previous gig we used hetzner server to have several VMs and storage of that server failed , resulting that all our production servers went down. luckily we had backups, and restored partially our production, but after that incident we moved everything to DigitalOcean, just to not risk anymore. so our experience was bitter with Hetzner.
- MrHetzner 9y agoSo you had a local attached SSD and that crashed and your production site went down. And you moved to a different provider.
- detaro 9y agoWhy not go with Hetzner VPSes if you didn't want to deal with dedicated HW anymore? Or are you blaming Hetzner for a hardware failure?
- akoncius 9y agoI was just saying that our experience with Hetzner was not as rock solid as others were saying, that's it. Don't understand why some people are downvoting my comment. Also it happened ~6 years ago, so I'm not sure if they offered VPS at all.
- detaro 9y agoI guess the downvotes are because it sounds like you frame a characteristic of the product type as something the vendor did wrong. Hardware fails, and part of having a dedicated server is that you are directly on top of said hardware and have to be prepared for it to fail.
- akoncius 9y agoYeah, but I didn't write "Hetzner sucks because their disks are failing constantly". One commenter wrote "Hetzner has an excellent reputation for rock-solid engineering" and as a counterpoint I wanted to tell my anecdote which opposes that "rock-solidness". So for that I get downvotes :) In retrospect yes, I agree that we had to be prepared for such event, to have failovers and so on.
