@karjaj great results, better than in Germany.
@karjaj really impressive for real. Great job Hetzner.
Bump - Now, its officially up'n'running.
I remain eternally grateful that Hetzner never verified my account (signed up for in a drunken stupor). Saving me from buying yet more servers I do not need.
#whereisthecloud !!
Dude take a look at their page instead of spamming this thread.
Now getting 70+ ms from Sweden to Finland. I'll try to get in contact with their team and see if they plan on fixing more direct routing within the coming weeks or months or if this is for the future, because right now connections seems to route through Frankfurt no matter what.
I have stuff in Stockholm and I route directly.. It really depends on your upstream(s) as well.
I'd guess it should be around 8 milliseconds, instead of 10+.
Yes, my servers in Portlane routes directly. My network, my schools and every other home network I've tried on in my region, in this case Bahnhof, routes through Frankfurt from Sweden to Finland and have been since the beginning.
Question is, what upstreams you're having available or if there's a PNI that would make more sense to use cost-wise than going directly
Can I even check available upstreams for a home network? I know they use Telia & Level 3.
You can - by putting in your IP on bgp.he.net e.g. - see what networks are under upstreams and peering
I might want to migrate some services there... seems their snapshot system is pretty quick.
Thanks, I'm getting those results with this.
Have anyone here seen their Finland deals lately?
I saw a i7 around 6 am US Pacific Time today.
How about E3 one?
Haven't seen those in a few days. They might have popped up when I wasn't looking though ;-) There is a Hetzner inventory availability notifier script on Github that someone posted a few days ago. You might want to take a look at that if you're looking to get one in Finland.
Hetzner is now giving discounted pricing for servers in Finland DC. Root Servers discount 5,95€ / mo.
Where?
If you select Finland as server deployment location, you'll get promised discount.

Ökostrom auch in Finnland
the lower price is there for some weeks now, for example the EX41 is 40,46€ in FIN and 46,41€ in GER (german prices with tax)
Cloud has been available now for file, and oh boy:
That's going to run 20TB out pretty fast! The test was done with the 2cpu/4GB/40GB 4.99€/month plan.
(someone else can post bench results)
edit: Apparrently Google/Maxmind thinks the VPS ip is from russia though..
Ok.. here is the same test that karjaj ran:
But can you optimize the network from China? After actual testing, your Finnish server used any Internet provider's network at any time, and the link quality was particularly poor. It was replaced by a data center in Germany. During the day (China time), the Internet links from China Telecom and China Mobile are still barely enough, but the quality of links from China Unicom is very poor. And, at night (Chinese time), the quality of links is very poor, regardless of the provider's network. Poor link quality is reflected in slow speed, packet loss, and high latency.
In other words, your German data center and Finnish data center are very unfriendly to network links from China. However, the German data center is better than the Finnish data center, but it is still relatively poor. I don't say that I hates Hetzner. On the contrary, I like Hetzner very much because you have provided unbeatable value for money and customer service support. This is something I have never experienced before with other service providers. However, if you can slightly optimize the Internet links from China, it would be great.@Hetzner_OL
Sounds strange to host in Finland or in Germany for Chinese client base. Woudln't hosting in China would be obvious option? Yes, there are some hurdles in it. Otherwise Hong Kong / Singapore hosting would sound better. Yet sites outside China are hindered by GFW anyway. How about using Alibaba?
I'm just wondering why Finland for China. If it's about global audience, then using some caching solution inside China if possible, would make sense.
I like Hetzner for the same reason, but part of the way they provide that unbeatable value is by having not-so-good network connectivity to outside Europe. They could improve the connectivity by spending more money but then they would have to charge more, and would no longer be such an unbeatable value.
Most people looking for good transit to China who can't host directly in China, instead pick places like Los Angeles or Singapore (or HK but that is very expensive). If you host your stuff in Europe then yeah, results won't be great. You have to take that into consideration when making your siting decisions.
