- tiffanyh 3y agoHave you seem them terminate unreasonable situations? They normally are trying to keep their IPs and Network clean of scammers abusing their resources, which inevitably hurt all customers.
- ayi 3y agoMy 2024 goal was creating a website for me and hosting a copy of my newsletter there. I heard a lot of good things about Hetzner and choose them. Just right after signing up, even after I put a credit card with 3DS they immediately banned me. I wrote to support, they forwarded me to page. I uploaded my passport with my face. But my account is still banned. And worst thing is I’m 1 month late for my 2024 goal.

- lstamour 3y agoTry racknerd… they have various Black Friday/new year specials that rarely/never expire and the price can be as low as $25/year for a decent 2-cpu VPS. Not the same hardware as OVH, storage often limited, but still an interesting price point and service. Biggest limitations: no 2FA on the control panel and mounting an ISO requires talking to customer service… oh and no automated backups but they might have recently added snapshots.
- lstamour 3y agoI should add - keep your own backups. I can’t trust that a service this cheap will not lose my data somehow. It hasn’t yet, but with margins this thin I wonder if they’ll ever go out of business on me.
- mikeravkine 3y agoHetzner can and will terminate your account and delete all your data on a whim, never telling you why. There is nothing at all you can do to prove your usage was legitimate. I get that they must deal with a lot of abuse but I wouldn't use them for anything mission critical ever.
- vinibrito 3y agoAny reliable provider? Or is the solution to buy a server and colocate somewhere else?
- jmaker 3y agoYou get what you pay for. You own what you possess. AWS is expensive and not without trouble but in my experience they’ve been best of the pack. Otherwise, on-premises + collocation is never a mistake if the maintenance and upright expenditure is in your budget.
