Why Hetzner Cloud is our favorite niche cloud provider

Hetzner Cloud seems like a breath of fresh air in a world of high-affordance hyperscalers with excessively grand commitments. In this write-up, we explain key reasons why we chose Hetzner Cloud when building Stangerup Cloud.

Data sovereignty

In an increasingly uncertain landscape, European businesses require reliable solutions that are fully GDPR-compliant. With Hetzner, we retain control of your data since it’s not transferred to third countries or subject to the CLOUD Act.

Apart from data sovereignty, staying local simplifies administrative work in relation to privacy policies, DPAs, and more. Hetzner is also certified in accordance with DIN ISO/IEC 27001:2022.

Enterprise-grade performance

Hetzner operates their own data center parks, which allows for unparalleled performance. Instead of trying to deliver on hundreds of product lineups at once, they stick to their basics and do them extremely well.

Tuned hardware, optimized networks, and in-house operations seem to have provided the perfect recipe for a reliable cloud provider. For their cloud offerings specifically, Hetzner delivers:

Shared Cost-Optimized (CX Gen3 / CAX)

Shared Regular Performance (CPX Gen2)

Dedicated General Purpose (CCX)

Sustainability

Cloud operations have to be sustainable, not only for your business model, but also for the environment. We firmly believe sustainability in the data center industry is key for the future of our planet, and hence, Hetzner’s increased focus on energy efficiency is most welcome.

As a data center operator, they have high energy requirements that are currently being fulfilled by hydropower. With additional features like efficient air cooling, long product lifecycles, and customized setups, they continue to innovate towards a better tomorrow.

Conclusion

So there you have it. To summarize, we’re happy to be powered by Hetzner Cloud servers. This reflects positively upon you as a customer, since we’re able to deliver on our core promises.

Thank you very much for reading.
