Most of our products are unmanaged, like our dedicated servers and cloud servers. A lot of you were already sysadmins or were otherwise tech-savvy long before you got here, but we also hear from people who picked us specifically because they wanted to learn. How much sysadmin have you taught to yourself as a Hetzner customer? And did you find that journey fulfilling or more annoying, and why?
That's all you get today. Can you guess who visited us?

You can set alerts that will email you if you exceed a certain cost limit. For those of you who use this function, how has it served you so far? And at other providers, have you used a similar feature? See: https://docs.hetzner.com/cloud/billing/faq#how-do-i-keep-my-costs-under-control

We've spun up an exploratory platform for experiments. Right now it includes an experimental open-weight LLM inference API. It's free to use and comes with no SLAs. As mentioned, this is an experiment, not a launch. The point is to let you test your own use cases against it and tell us what works and what doesn't. The same thing applies to possible upcoming projects.
Your feedback is what helps us to decide what's worth building next and can even shape our decisions.
If you give it a go, we'd like to hear how it went.
We all know that cliche image: Someone is thinking, a lightbulb goes on, and suddenly, they know what to do! What mental breakthrough moment have you had when it came to IT? Were you able to implement it in the end?
Meet our most relaxed colleagues at the moment. This summer, a few woolly guests are helping us maintain the green spaces around our data center in Falkenstein. A quiet and natural way to care for the landscape around our site.
While most camera rolls are filled with holiday snapshots and everyday moments, this one looks a little different: server racks, hardware details, cable management and plenty of views from inside our DC.

Bayerns Best 50 is an annual award from the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs. It goes to owner-managed companies in Bavaria with above-average growth in headcount and revenue. And this is our sixth time on the list. For us, it's a reasonable excuse to say thank you. To the people who work here, and to all of you who keep choosing us and telling us when we get it wrong. Both matter.
Shoutout to the people who turn it off and on again on a professional level!
If so, how do you feel about Hetzner compared to other providers there? And are you located in Singapore or nearby? Or are you using the Singapore location to reduce latency for your own end users?
The CPX12 is our smallest cloud server, and it's the one people seem to get weirdly creative with. So we're curious what's actually running on yours. Node-RED flows or a Discord/Telegram bot? A personal blog or a couple of static sites? Uptime monitoring, a VPN, a game server that has no business running on 2 vCPU but somehow does? Whatever it is, we'd like to see it.
Genuinely interested in where the entry tier holds up and where people hit the wall.

Our SX servers pair NVMe SSDs and SATA HDDs for an ideal combination of speed and cost effective bulk storage. You can get up to 15.36 TB of NVMe and 308 TB of HDD capacity in a single box. Built for backup targets, databases, and other massive storage requirements.
If you're self-hosting a Git platform, you've probably run into Forgejo and Gitea. We put together a comparison covering their shared history, where they've diverged, and what sets them apart today. If you're weighing them up, this might be a useful starting point.
For anyone who's run Forgejo, Gitea, or both: what influenced your choice?
The solar park in Gumtow is a step toward our goal of feeding more renewable energy into the grid than all of our data centers combined consume. Once completed, it will generate around 90 GWh annually.

The kind of thing where you finally got something working, cracked a problem that had been bugging you for weeks, or looked at a setup you'd built and thought "yeah, that's clean."
