If you have only heard great things, you've not been paying very much attention. Hetzner is known for deleting nodes and accounts without warning or explanation if your CPU usage stays persistently high. They even had the audacity to send a bill thereafter.

We're using tons of Hetzner nodes that are under constant heavy load (~100% CPU usage for ~12 hrs/day), never had problems. I know this is anecdotal, just logging it here.

I’ve been on the “very negative experience” side with Hetzner. It’s great when it works but terrible when they decide to null route your account and take a week to respond to support inquiry.

We use it professionally. Just to give an anecdote to counter an anecdote.

That doesn't really say anything in the parent context of persistent 100% CPU usage.

So…. What’s your anecdote?

Did you have a particularly positive experience?

I often hear people complain about Hetzner for two reasons: (1) their attitude towards crypto, (2) ID verification.
