r/hetzner

To be completely honest, has your Object Storage ever actually worked reliably? I already pointed out these issues back when I was a beta user, yet the service still seems to have persistent problems and is frequently unavailable, including today, right fucking now.

At this point, I seriously question what I am even paying for. Under these circumstances, I believe it would be reasonable to refund the fees I’ve paid so far. Frankly, it would also be appropriate to offer a year of service free of charge as compensation.

I tried to contact you via the official hetzner platform, but apparently the button "i need more help" to unlock the "send" button is also not working. I tried 3 different browsers. I went from praising Hetzner every day, to hating it.

First time using Hetzner 2 months back, found a server auction that fits our needs, not had any issues with it, and was easy enough to migrate from OVH. It works for what we need, but was it a good deal?!

Thought I'd give the web hosting a go as I wanted to reduce my server costs (would only save me 20 cents on the server but about $25 a year licence and management time keeping it up to date and all that).

The sales page looks good and the price is just right but then I go into the tech specs to find

"The use of domains booked outside of Hetzner costs €0.76 per month (including 19% VAT) per domain."

I hardly ever used shared hosting but have never seen such a charge.

I guess the profit for this is in the $8 markup for a .com ??

Running a managed Ollama deployment service (NestAI). Just shipped dedicated AMD EPYC CCX tiers. Sharing what each tier actually gives you for inference since I couldn't find good benchmarks for Hetzner CCX + Ollama anywhere.

Hardware is Hetzner CCX (EPYC Milan/Genoa dedicated vCPU):

CCX33 (8 dedicated vCPU, 32GB RAM) — +$29/mo:

• Mistral 7B: ~12-15 tok/s
• DeepSeek R1 14B: ~5-7 tok/s
• Qwen 2.5 32B Q4: fits but slow, ~3-4 tok/s

CCX43 (16 dedicated vCPU, 64GB RAM) — +$59/mo:

• Mistral 7B: ~15-18 tok/s
• Phi-4 14B: ~7-10 tok/s
• DeepSeek R1 32B: ~5-7 tok/s
• Llama 3.3 70B Q4: fits, ~2-3 tok/s

CCX53 (32 dedicated vCPU, 128GB RAM) — +$119/mo:

• 7B models: ~20+ tok/s
• 32B models: ~8-10 tok/s
• 70B models: ~3-5 tok/s
• Can load multiple models simultaneously

CCX63 (48 dedicated vCPU, 192GB RAM) — +$179/mo:

• Can run 70B + 7B simultaneously
• Best case 70B: ~4-6 tok/s
• Enough RAM for multiple 32B models loaded at once

All running Ollama latest with OLLAMA_FLASH_ATTENTION=1, OLLAMA_KEEP_ALIVE=-1, Q4_K_M quantization default.

The big difference from shared vCPU isn't peak speed — it's consistency. Shared CX43 can spike to 15 tok/s at 3 AM and drop to 6 tok/s at peak hours. Dedicated stays flat.

Still CPU, not GPU. If someone asks "why not just get an A4000" — you're absolutely right for raw performance. But for teams that need data residency guarantees (EU/GDPR, Singapore/PDPA) and can't ship data to a GPU cloud provider, dedicated CPU in a specific Hetzner datacenter is the tradeoff.

These tiers are add-ons on top of NestAI's managed plans ($39-299/mo). The managed part handles provisioning, Open WebUI, SSL, monitoring, team auth.

I've ordered AX41-NVMe and on order processing times it displays as usually within few minutes available for the region. But I still didn't get it after some hours. And I need it asap to host my game server
