I’m running $2500 worth of servers on Hetzner privately since 2015 and about $400 worth of VMs on Hetzner Cloud. The only instance of issues with them was Hetzner locking the outgoing traffic of a VM after it started bursting a few million packets to the local network in an infinite loop. I called them, they explained it, I fixed it and they unblocked it. Pretty happy with Hetzner. The traffic that goes over some of my servers would be $50k+ per month on AWS.
- sgt 5y ago$50k+ - how do you get to that? That's pretty insane. Does that include the equivalent EC2/etc on AWS?

- mixmastamyk 5y agoAWS is known for being expensive. Known for being very expensive for "egress." Sibiling has done the math.
- algo_trader 5y agoJust to re-iterate, you are a "regular customer" running 1PB/month outgoing-traffic, at $3000/month and have had no issues?
- 19h 5y agoYes.

- StevePerkins 5y agoThe human term is "sarcasm", Lt. Commander Data. There are only a certain number of business domains that deal with multi-petabyte monthly data transfer. So it's an amusing leap to presume the oldest profession on that list. Thanks for researching a footnote cite to the TOS document. But it's not literal. Whoosh.
