A German company would get 19% back from the Government, but AFAIK a foreign company doesn't have to pay it in the first place, so you can calculate it out.

Incredible, maybe they made a mistake on their site. Hetzner has a very good reputation here in Germany, otherwise i would expect something fishy.

Within the EU you need to pay the VAT.

Not if you are a business... we don't pay VAT on anything we buy outside Belgium.

You need to be VAT registered in your own country to be able to buy things with 0 VAT.

I looked it up, for export you don't have to charge VAT. But i don't know if internet services count as export.
