Which Hetzner Cloud Server is right for you?
Shared vs. Dedicated Cloud: Which resources are suitable for your setup?
Shared cloud plans are perfect for development and testing environments. They are designed for variable usage patterns rather than sustained high workloads. Typical use cases include personal websites and blogs, small databases, or web servers with low to moderate traffic. These plans offer the best price-performance ratio, as hardware resources are shared with “neighbors”.
Dedicated cloud servers assign dedicated vCPUs to your project, ensuring unshared performance and highly predictable resources. They are well suited for business applications with high production workloads, such as high-traffic websites, large databases, gaming servers, machine learning, or processing large volumes of data.
Data traffic in price comparison:
how to save on traffic
With Hetzner, you benefit from high inclusive traffic
Our price comparison shows that while expensive egress traffic at hyperscalers such as AWS, Azure, and Google can quickly drive up total costs, with Hetzner you benefit from generous included traffic and very low prices for additional data transfer. All figures are based on independent data from sparecores.com.
Everything you need, included.
All essential functions for automatic management of the cloud infrastructure are also available via a developer-friendly REST API and a CLI tool.
Integrations for various programming languages (e.g., Python and Go) and management frameworks (e.g., Ansible, Terraform, or Kubernetes) allow for a high degree of automation and integration of the cloud infrastructure, for example, in CI/CD pipelines.
Networks enable servers to communicate via a private network. They also allow complex network topologies to be created. Typical use cases include operating a Kubernetes cluster or a database that is not publicly accessible.
Our stateful firewalls enable easy infrastructure security without additional costs. Unwanted incoming and outgoing data traffic is blocked based on defined rules. Once configured, you can assign them to as many cloud servers as you like.
Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, and many other Linux distributions are available as operating systems. So whether you are looking for a particularly beginner-friendly solution or want to operate long-term, predictable enterprise servers, the right option is available.
