I don’t know about the details, but I know Hetzner has quite a backstory with their servers being abused by spammers. I don’t know how the state is today, but maybe it’s not as unlikely as it seems?
- withinboredom 3y agoIf they even think you are spamming, you get banned. Pretty much closed to individuals (according to Reddit, if they don’t even like the way your ID looks, you’re banned) while businesses get more leeway to do things.
- moooo99 3y agoI didn’t realize they’re that strict. I have an individual account with them I occasionally use and didn’t encounter any issues with ID (I can’t even recall being ID’d tbh). That being said, I am located in Germany and have a German billing address, so maybe international customers have more issues?
- CryptoBanker 3y agoThey’re not closed to individuals. I’ve run two VPSs on Hetzner cloud for 2 years now…
- reaperman 3y agoNo one I know has had issues like that. They also don’t spam, but Hetzner is generally considered in ny circles to be a pretty newbie-friendly service especially for people looking to use basic baremetal machines. Maybe we’ve just gotten lucky, or maybe we all hail from the right geographies.
- withinboredom 3y agoThose machines are pretty nice though. Great for “base load” (handling the scale you almost never go below).
- abdullahkhalids 3y agoI have an account with them for my website/email. No problems. Even asked them to open up the IP for SMTP requests and they asked how many emails I wanted to send per month, and I told them it was my personal email and less than 100/month. They happily granted me access.
