Pros & Cons

H
Hetzner Cloud

Pros

  • EU servers include 20 TB of traffic, and extra traffic costs only €1 per TB.
  • Hourly billing capped at a monthly price, with no contracts.
  • A full API and CLI plus Terraform and Ansible integrations make automation straightforward.
  • Stateful firewalls and private networks come at no extra cost.
  • Still cheaper per spec than DigitalOcean in independent 2026 comparisons.

Cons

  • Prices rose twice in 2026, with CPX and CCX new orders up by as much as about 176%.
  • Cost-Optimized types are listed as unavailable, and provisioning was limited for new customers from June 2026.
  • Many users report account verification failures and suspensions with little explanation.
  • No managed database, serverless or managed Kubernetes products.
  • US and Singapore servers include far less traffic than EU servers.

Pros

  • Prices for every metal, GPU and VM plan are listed publicly, with hourly rates as well as monthly ones.
  • Each listed plan includes 20 TB of outbound bandwidth, and inbound traffic is unlimited.
  • Servers are offered in 26 locations, including several in Latin America such as Sao Paulo, Bogota, Santiago, Buenos Aires and Mexico City.
  • Servers can be automated through the API, SDKs, CLI and a Terraform provider.
  • Current-generation AMD EPYC hardware runs alongside B300, RTX PRO 6000 and H100 GPU options.

Cons

  • There is no managed WordPress, managed database or serverless offering, so you need operations expertise.
  • Independent user reviews are scarce, and PeerSpot shows no reviews at all.
  • Bandwidth overage rates and storage prices are not shown on the main pricing page.
  • The Megaport acquisition may change the roadmap over time, although Latitude.sh says the brand and billing stay the same.
