I’m running $2500 worth of servers on Hetzner privately since 2015 and about $400 worth of VMs on Hetzner Cloud. The only instance of issues with them was Hetzner locking the outgoing traffic of a VM after it started bursting a few million packets to the local network in an infinite loop. I called them, they explained it, I fixed it and they unblocked it. Pretty happy with Hetzner. The traffic that goes over some of my servers would be $50k+ per month on AWS.

Just to re-iterate, you are a "regular customer" running 1PB/month outgoing-traffic, at $3000/month and have had no issues?

Yes.

Which adult website is this?

What the fuck? They don't even allow hosting of adult content[0].

The human term is "sarcasm", Lt. Commander Data. There are only a certain number of business domains that deal with multi-petabyte monthly data transfer. So it's an amusing leap to presume the oldest profession on that list.

Thanks for researching a footnote cite to the TOS document. But it's not literal. Whoosh.

Please don't be a jerk on HN, regardless of whether someone misread your comment. We're trying for something different here: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Sarcasm doesn't always communicate itself, particularly in very short comments.

They prohibit illegal pornography and pornographic sites which essentially share copyrighted videos.

They won’t stop you from hosting your own private onlyfans site though.

$50k+ - how do you get to that? That's pretty insane. Does that include the equivalent EC2/etc on AWS?

Current pricing tiering in AWS, as per us-east-1 and eu-central-1, for a total of 950TB:

GB * cost per GB

1 * $0

9999 * $0,09

40000 * $0,085

100000 * $0,07

800000 * $0,05

= $51.299,91

a video by Wendell from level1techs explains the same egress costs on AWS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRZCIb_9arQ

AWS is known for being expensive. Known for being very expensive for "egress." Sibiling has done the math.
