Hetzner is one of those "just take my money" services, so more power to them.

Besides, for some reason I always thought they charge hourly but show pricing in monthly format for easier pricing.

That was only for cloud products until now I think

[waldrews]

What other services fall into the "just take my money" category? I fully agree, Hetzner is a good deal.

[BilalBudhani]

FastMail, Cloudflare, GitHub co-pilot and OpenAI are some of the other services that comes to mind.

Way better than DigitalOcean, I hope they keep being that way

Hopefully the people that are running it now are better than the people that started it, however I will never use Hetzner's services for anything again as long as I live.

What is it about the people that started it that puts you off?

[ratg13]

In their early days they "accidentally" deleted my servers and backups, and their engineers had the gall to attempt to blame me for their process failures.

I had posted about it on HN awhile ago and had to provide proof to Dan to be able to be allowed to share my story.

They responded to my HN comment apologizing and trying to claim that those people shouldn't have been interacting with customers, don't work for the company anymore and blah blah, but there is no way I could trust a company a second time after losing a month's worth of work.

It was the not apologizing and doubling down on their mistakes that put me off.

Can you share some specific reasons?
