I just had a look at their page. Their S3 is different from Amazon. In AWS, it is global - they synchronize the objects between locations which menas it's eventually consistent but it has amazing SLA. Whereas Hetzner clearly states: "Currently, Object Storage is available in the following locations: Falkenstein, DE (FSN1), Helsinki, FI (HEL1), and Nuremberg, DE (NBG1)." So if I wanted HA, I'd use two locations or more.
Also, it's not good that they do not have any status tracker that shows summary stats on uptime over the past, say, year so one can get a quick idea of how reliable the service was historically.
The status monitor only has entries for incidences from the past 7 days. It could have been down for 10 days a month ago, you wouldn't know this unless someone wrote about it.
_You_ know the service is new, but this isn't mentioned on the landing page either. They don't say something like "only 4 months old, public beta" - in that case I wouldn't feel negatively surprised.
