Hetzner
Powerful German-built cloud servers at prices that leave room in the budget.
Hetzner is a hosting company based in Germany, in business since 1997. It rents out cloud servers, dedicated servers, storage and DNS. A cloud server, or VPS, is your own private slice of a bigger machine, kept separate from everyone else’s.
Its reputation rests on value: a lot of computing power for the money, with plain pricing. Cloud servers run in Germany, Finland, Singapore and two US locations, Hillsboro in Oregon and Ashburn in Virginia, so a site can sit near its visitors.
Hetzner gives you the machine, not hand-holding. Updates, backups and security are your job, or your agency’s. That makes it a strong pick when a project wants real speed and control without paying big-cloud prices.
Why Hetzner Is in Our Stack
In Practice
Hetzner is where our own site lives, on a server we manage with ServerAvatar and protect with Cloudflare. We like it for the speed per dollar and the US locations. It suits client sites that want their own server without a heavy monthly bill.
Speed per Dollar
You get strong hardware without paying big-cloud prices for it.
US and EU Locations
Put your site close to the visitors who matter most.
Full Control
The server is yours to tune, with no host-imposed limits.
