Thanks for letting us know.
Funny thing, as obviously there are different interpretations to the phrase "hot potato".
In German this usually refers to something no one wants and therefore is "passed around like a hot potato".
He probably meant selling like hotcakes. I think the term hot potato means a negative
thing not only in German.
I personally had to log into mine to make sure its still online, cause when someone says they are "gone" - in LET world - that means they are gone gone.
Freaked me out for no good reason lol
I also thought for a second they got OVH'd because of all the worldwide heat wave and so.
Just yesterday read that Google and Oracle had outages in their DC because of cooling issues:

In the UK at least, if something is selling like a hot potato then it's good, but we also have the same negative meaning like @luckypenguin said in German.
The really negative phrase is "it went down like a lead balloon". Probably less obvious for non-native speakers as it uses two different meanings for "went down".
But that was in the UK where we'll close a railway line down because the "wrong type of leaves" fell off the trees. (Admittedly, it was actually damn hot compared to normal on Monday and Tuesday)
Leaves on the line is a genuine problem. Trains actually have very little contact with the rails so very little traction, this is why they can't climb steep hills so lines cut through them instead. Put something slippery between the rail and the wheel and you just spin in-place. It is worse for modern engines then the old steamers or deltics because they are lighter - the older engine's extra weight helped at least a little by mulching up the interfering layer more.
The same in US.
But it is kind of fun to have new meaning on LET.
Yeh. Hotcake. Why does everyone like cake and dislike potato? Potato is healthier.
LOL. No worry.
If only Hetzner brought those Ryzen DS into US datacenters. I would order like 3 immediately. Damn it.
Probably Hetzner will charge more due to the less density.
I cannot even see Intel Xeon vps/vds on Hetnzer's Ashburn site.
Hotcake or Yellowcake ??
If you are looking at anything above 8 VCPU's, they are probably showing unavailable to you because of default account limits. To get access to these, you need to request a limit increase. (All data center locations will show same)
so.. hetzner-us deadpool, am i reading topic right?
