To test this out, we performed a two-week-long test on Hetzner\u2019s official site and got somewhat underwhelming results. There was one instance of downtime making the site unreachable for 14 minutes straight which ultimately led to 99.93% uptime. Although these results fit into the guarantee, they don\u2019t instill much confidence when we recall that the test was carried out for two weeks only.<\/p><figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\"><div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\"><div class=\"image-widthsetter\"><p class=\"vanilla-image-block\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SupMFGkGPa8kAeKPMPXAT8-320-80.jpg.webp 320w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SupMFGkGPa8kAeKPMPXAT8-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SupMFGkGPa8kAeKPMPXAT8-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SupMFGkGPa8kAeKPMPXAT8-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SupMFGkGPa8kAeKPMPXAT8-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SupMFGkGPa8kAeKPMPXAT8-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w\" type=\"image\/webp\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SupMFGkGPa8kAeKPMPXAT8.jpg\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SupMFGkGPa8kAeKPMPXAT8-320-80.jpg 320w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SupMFGkGPa8kAeKPMPXAT8-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SupMFGkGPa8kAeKPMPXAT8-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SupMFGkGPa8kAeKPMPXAT8-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SupMFGkGPa8kAeKPMPXAT8-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SupMFGkGPa8kAeKPMPXAT8-1200-80.jpg 1200w\" alt=\"Support\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SupMFGkGPa8kAeKPMPXAT8.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/SupMFGkGPa8kAeKPMPXAT8.jpg\" \/><\/picture><\/p><\/div><\/div><figcaption class=\"\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Hetzner offers a wide variety of different support options\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Hetzner Online)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure><h2 id=\"support-3\">Support<\/h2><p>Hetzner\u2019s \u201cSupport Center&#8221; offers personal support via telephone, live chat (for customers only), and ticket\/contact form.

The company bears the name of its founder, Martin Hetzner, whose vision was to make a perfect mix of strong and stable technology, flexible services, pocket-friendly pricing, and competent customer support. For the most part, this vision appears to be realized. \u00a0 Hetzner offers everything from simple\u00a0shared hosting\u00a0solutions to managed servers,\u00a0cloud hosting,\u00a0VPS,\u00a0dedicated server hosting,\u00a0domain registration,\u00a0colocation services, as well as on-demand custom solutions. They also offer a server auction site where you have a chance to rent dedicated servers with a bit older hardware, which is a sensible solution both from an economic and ecological point of view. The price tags of Hetzner\u2019s products are also quite appealing, however, we have yet to see how competent their customer support is. \u00a0 Want to try out Hetzner Online?\u00a0Check out the website here The company is headquartered in Gunzenhausen (Germany), and its data centers can be found in Nuremberg (Germany), Falkenstein (Germany), and Helsinki (Finland). You can find all technical specifications about the data centers on their site, and even take a virtual tour (in 360\u00b0) through their Nuremberg center. Striving to set an example of eco-friendliness, Hetzner uses energy from renewable sources only, including hydropower in Germany, a combination of wind and hydropower in Finland, and investing in energy-efficient hardware. Hetzner\u2019s official site looks a bit old-fashioned (but in a good way), user-friendly, and is available in English, German, and Russian language. \u00a0 If you want to find Hetzner on social media sites, check out Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, and\u00a0YouTube. Hetzner offers different levels of plans to meet the needs of your website\u00a0(Image credit: Hetzner Online) Pricing On Hetzner\u2019s official site you\u2019ll find a decent variety of dedicated servers, VPS packages, shared hosting, custom solutions, as well as colocation, management, and other services. The smallest shared hosting solution called \u201cLevel 1\u201d starts at \u20ac1.60 ($1.85) per month, but you\u2019ll have an additional once-off setup fee of \u20ac8.32 ($9.65) which spikes up the price pretty quickly. With more expensive plans this setup fee drops, and with the biggest plan going for \u20ac16.72 ($19.35) per month there are no setup fees at all. The \u201cLevel 1\u201d plan includes one free domain name (.de, .com, .net, .org, .at, .be, .info, .biz, .eu, .name and .nl are available), 10GB of disk space (NVMe SSD), unlimited traffic, 50 sub-domains, daily backups (for 14 days), an SSL certificate, and daily compilations of detailed log files. \u201cLevel 1\u201d plan is the only one that doesn\u2019t allow any add-on domain, while you can have between 5 and 20 of them with other plans. If you cancel Hetzner\u2019s plan within 14 days, you should receive a refund, although the company gives close to no information about its money-back guarantee. As for payment methods, Hetzner accepts all major credit cards, PayPal, SEPA, and bank\/wire transfers. Ease of use Since Hetzner\u2019s hosting solutions are properly presented with all of their features and fees, opting for one of them shouldn\u2019t be too time-consuming. If you\u2019re new to Hetzner, you\u2019ll be asked to create an account before you can purchase any of their products. To do so, you\u2019ll have to fill in a rather lengthy form containing your full name, title, organization, postal address, telephone\/fax, email address, and come up with a password. You can purchase additional products from Hetzner&#8217;s konsoleH control panel\u00a0(Image credit: Hetzner Online) After this, you\u2019ll receive a client number to use when logging in, both on the next page and in an email in case you forget it (and of course you will). Upon logging in, you&#8217;ll be taken to Hetzner\u2019s control panel called konsoleH where you can continue with your purchase or add other products (domain name, hosting packages, additional storage space, management services, SSL certificates, and so on). Before making a purchase you\u2019ll also need to select a billing cycle (monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, annually), and a payment method. Although far from being a looker, once you understand how konsoleH works, you\u2019ll be navigating your way around it without any trouble. It may not be as user-friendly as industry-leading\u00a0cPanel\u00a0but it\u2019s as simple as custom-made control panels can get. If you get stuck along the way, be sure to check out how-tos that are available on konsoleH or get in touch with the support staff. KonsoleH also offers a WebFTP feature with which you can upload your website (given you have one), or you can do it by using the usual FTP system.
