This is actually great. I maintain a library[1] for interacting with the Robot interface using Rust, but testing is heavily gated because of the potential costs it might incur, which is why a lot of the purchasing/cancellation APIs haven't been thoroughly tested.
With this billing, I'll be able to do thorough integration testing without breaking the bank.
And of course with hourly billing, horizontal scaling becomes much more feasible.

- joeig 3y agoAt the moment there is still a one-time order fee for dedicated servers and the docs don’t clarify if it will remain.
- diggan 3y ago> At the moment there is still a one-time order fee for dedicated servers For (some) dedicated servers, I think. Last time I checked the lowest tiered dedicated servers didn't have any setup fees. If it's not mentioned, assumed it'll remain.
- MathiasPius 3y agoAs diggan said, there's usually at least one of their dedicated server offerings for which setup fees are waived, so I figure my tests would use the API to find out which one and use it :)
- jupp0r 3y agoHave you reached out to Hetzner? Feels like they should waive those bills in exchange for the free dev work you do for them.
- MathiasPius 3y agoI haven't actually. I believe they do offer modest amounts of credit for creating useful libraries, documentation and such targeting their platform, but I never really looked into it.
