help Hetzner Cloud FAQ

What makes Hetzner Cloud popular with developers?

Hetzner Cloud is known for low prices on VPS-style cloud servers with strong CPU and bandwidth value. It is especially common among developers running Docker apps, staging servers, CI workers, and self-hosted tools.

Where are Hetzner Cloud servers located?

Hetzner Cloud has European locations such as Germany and Finland, plus a U.S. location in Ashburn, Virginia. Location choice matters for latency, data residency, and whether your users are mostly in Europe or North America.

Does Hetzner Cloud compete with AWS EC2 or DigitalOcean Droplets?

Yes, the closest comparison is usually AWS EC2 Lightsail-style VPS hosting, DigitalOcean Droplets, Linode, and Vultr. Hetzner generally wins on raw price-to-performance, while AWS has a much larger managed-service ecosystem.

Can Hetzner Cloud run Kubernetes?

Yes, many teams run Kubernetes on Hetzner Cloud using tools like k3s, Terraform, or the Hetzner Cloud Controller Manager. Hetzner does not provide the same kind of fully managed Kubernetes product that Google GKE or Amazon EKS provides.
