What is Hetzner?

Hetzner Online is a German powerhouse known for offering arguably the best price-to-performance ratio in the entire hosting industry. They operate their own massive, efficient data centers in Germany and Finland (and recently USA).

Hetzner is unique because they don't resell; they build. Their Dedicated Servers and Cloud offerings are extremely powerful and incredibly cheap compared to competitors. However, they are strict on verification and offer less "hand-holding" support, targeting experienced technical users.
