I hope this is not going to be a massive hit for them financially -- I like Hetzner. On the flip side they might have some cheap 'server auction' on the block soon, I've been pondering a cross/upgrade for a little while already :-)

In the times I've checked, their "server auction" things don't really seem any obviously better than their standard options.

What sort of stuff do you look for that seems good?

Last time I checked, their new server are way more than the typical 35 euros mark, which is what I pay at the minute for ~3TB RAID1 quad core with 16GB ram... The current gen of server auction seems already to be quite a nice upgrade to my hardware, if I'm willing to ditch hardware raid...
Ahhh, interesting. Yeah, from that point of view they do look good. :)
Why do you hope they take a massive financial hit, while liking them?

Edit: missed the "not"

Perhaps parent edited, but there is a "not" in the sentence.

"I hope this is not going to be a massive hit"

I don't think it was edited, still had a very early version of the comment open, but it's easy to misread.
Did you overlook the "not"?
Yup, missed it.
