Hetzner Online is a professional European web hosting provider, based in Germany, which has been providing internet services to private and business clients since 1997.
The company website focuses very much on value, with eye-catchingly low prices everywhere you look. Shared web hosting starts from €1.60 a month (£1.41, $1.87), cloud hosting from €2.49 (£2.20, $2.90), dedicated servers from €34 (£30, $39.60), managed servers from €29 (£26.60, $33.80), and the list goes on. There had to be a catch, we thought – and we were sort of right.
Most products have setup fees, for instance. The baseline shared hosting plan may headline at €1.60 a month, but you’ll pay a one-off €8.32 (£7.35, $9.70) when you sign up. It’s the same as you work your way up the product list, so for example dedicated servers come with at least a €79 (£69.80, $92) setup fee.
The cheapest plans have some important limits and restrictions, too. The ultra-budget €1.60 hosting plan allows only 5GB a month traffic, for instance. There’s also no support for databases, so you can forget about installing WordPress or most other big web apps.
