I 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.
