General Purpose
Shared vs. Dedicated Cloud: Which resources are suitable for your setup?
Shared cloud plans are perfect for development and testing environments. They are designed for variable usage patterns rather than sustained high workloads. Typical use cases include personal websites and blogs, small databases, or web servers with low to moderate traffic. These plans offer the best price-performance ratio, as hardware resources are shared with “neighbors”.
Dedicated cloud servers assign dedicated vCPUs to your project, ensuring unshared performance and highly predictable resources. They are well suited for business applications with high production workloads, such as high-traffic websites, large databases, gaming servers, machine learning, or processing large volumes of data.
API
All essential functions for automatic management of the cloud infrastructure are also available via a developer-friendly REST API and a CLI tool.
Integrations
Integrations for various programming languages (e.g., Python and Go) and management frameworks (e.g., Ansible, Terraform, or Kubernetes) allow for a high degree of automation and integration of the cloud infrastructure, for example, in CI/CD pipelines.
Networks
Networks enable servers to communicate via a private network. They also allow complex network topologies to be created. Typical use cases include operating a Kubernetes cluster or a database that is not publicly accessible.
Firewalls
Our stateful firewalls enable easy infrastructure security without additional costs. Unwanted incoming and outgoing data traffic is blocked based on defined rules. Once configured, you can assign them to as many cloud servers as you like.
Images
Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, and many other Linux distributions are available as operating systems. So whether you are looking for a particularly beginner-friendly solution or want to operate long-term, predictable enterprise servers, the right option is available.
It's so easy to get started
Your own cloud server in just a few steps
IT doesn't have to be complicated: order your new server conveniently in the Hetzner Console and start using it in seconds. The management interface is intuitive and clearly laid out. There you can configure all relevant settings and access your server directly.
Want to use popular software such as Docker, WordPress, Nextcloud, or GitLab – preferably without the hassle of configuration? We've got you covered: every cloud server comes with free, high-quality one-click apps that are ready to go in just a few minutes. Once installed, the apps are just as easy to use.
The costs at Hetzner are ten to twelve times lower than at the cloud providers we used previously—for the same configuration.
