Vad är Hetzner Cloud Services

Hetzner Cloud is a German infrastructure provider offering VPS, bare-metal servers, and managed Kubernetes at fraction of AWS/GCP cost. Servers are located in Europe and Asia. Simple API, straightforward pricing (no hidden fees), and excellent network connectivity within Europe. Hetzner is popular with European startups, bootstrapped SaaS, and companies wanting to avoid vendor lock-in. It's not a full-stack cloud (no AI services, limited managed databases), but for basic compute and storage, it's hard to beat on price.

❓ Vanliga frågor

Why choose Hetzner over AWS?
Cost. A 4-core VPS on Hetzner: €8/month. Same on AWS: €50+/month. Trade-offs: Hetzner is simpler (fewer services), has less global presence (only Europe/Asia), customer support is slower. Best for: startups, bootstrapped SaaS, non-mission-critical services.
Does Hetzner offer managed services like AWS RDS?
Limited. Hetzner offers managed databases (Postgres, MySQL) but not as full-featured as AWS RDS. Backup, restoration, failover are manual or via basic tools. For complex needs, run databases on VPS and manage yourself.
Can I run Kubernetes on Hetzner?
Yes, Hetzner Kubernetes Engine (HKE) is competitive. Cheaper than EKS. Good for small-to-medium clusters (100-500 nodes). Enterprise features (advanced monitoring, multi-region) less mature than AWS EKS.
How do I ensure high availability on Hetzner?
Use load balancers, multiple servers across zones, automated failover (via monitoring script). Hetzner doesn't offer managed multi-region (unlike AWS). You manage failover manually or via infrastructure-as-code.
What's the network performance on Hetzner?
Excellent for Europe. Hetzner owns data centers (not multi-cloud like AWS). Direct connections to German carriers = fast European connectivity. Asia/Americas: slightly slower (single-hop from Frankfurt).
How do I backup data on Hetzner?
Automated snapshots via console or API. Offsite backups: copy to Hetzner Storage Box (cheap S3-like storage, €3-€10/month). Use Restic or Duplicacy for incremental backups.
