Hetzner is fine for what it is, you just need to know that it's all on you and only YOU.

YOU do the monitoring.

YOU do the troubleshooting.

YOU etc., etc.

If that doesn't appeal to you, or if you don't have the requisite knowledge, which I admit is fairly broad and encompassing, then it's not for you. For those of you that meet those checkboxes, they're a pretty amazing deal.

Where else could I get a 4c/8t CPU with 32 GB of RAM and four (4) 6TB disks for $38 a month? I really don't know of many places with that much hardware for that little cost. And yes, it's an Intel i7-3770, but I don't care. It's still a hell of a lot of hardware for not much price.

We had been colocating servers from decades but there is too much "YOU", compared to that we find Hetzner doing a lot for us (hardware inventory, replacement, remote hands, networking etc). We are slowly moving away from colocating to renting at Hetzner. It is so much better.
