A real-world production migration from DigitalOcean to Hetzner dedicated, handling 248 GB of MySQL data across 30 databases, 34 Nginx sites, GitLab EE, Neo4j, and live mobile app traffic — with zero downtime.
“ They suspected me of serving “illegal” traffic. The server was located in Germany and they were contacted by typical DMCA lawyers, who were referencing a US District Court Order.
Hetzner blindly waved that through and just took my public IPv4 address.
At no point they were trying to contact me. At no point they asked themselves if a US District Court Order has any validity. At no point anyone of Hetzner explained what happened. At no point they apologized for their obvious mistake.”

Wait until you learn that Hetzner can and will take your public IP away at their own will without any warning. Happened to me.
One downtime is enough for me to never use that service again, no matter how cheap it is.
