Hetzner has THE BEST UX for their cloud-vps stuff. Please don't change a thing, just for the sake of changing something. Looking at "YOU Spotify !" Compared to most of the other cloud vendors, its refreshingly simple and elegant ! Good job whoever did it, now the job is to KEEP it like that.
Happy customer for about 1.5 years now.
Anything you'd like us to improve in terms of UX or DX of our Open Source integrations?
What's the blocker?
I just tried IPv6 and got 23.0 to 23.3 ms, so that's a pleasant suprise. Last time I checked IPv6 was higher latency. Unfortunately I don't have IPv6 at my office or at home so it's not worth using for my work.
From both my office and home, pings to my Hetzner servers are 50 to 85ms. That's because of the slow links I have locally.
Those times are not huge but all the little latencies add up when doing things interactively, especially those that take multiple round trips. You probably wouldn't want to run a game server with those latencies.
I found remote editing files with Emacs Tramp particularly slow at that latency because it does too many unnecessary round trips. For remote compiles I have an SSH session open and use Git or rsync to transfer files to/from my laptop, but that's annoyingly slow as well. I still use Hetzner servers for development because the compute hardware is much better than anything for a comparable price in the UK, but I would probably switch to a UK-located version if Hetzner opened a data center in the UK with similar hardware and pricing - which seems unlikely!
