Hetzner Account Inactivity Cancellation

Does Hetzner cancel accounts due to Inactivity?

Do they cancel accounts for other nebulous reasons?

How can it be avoided?

1. Yes

2. Perhaps, depends on your point of view.

3. Provide legit information and be from a low risk country.

What does Hetzner consider to be inactivity, and for how long, that they'll cancel your account?

Logging in every month or so seems to be enough, I kept my account alive for years with no services that way

Thanks for confirming. I thought they would require an active service.

What motivated you to keep your account active, by logging into an otherwise inactive account every month?

Presumably you could create a new account anytime, even if a previous one was cancelled due to inactivity.

Too many horror stories of KYC issues. My account is from the good old days when they were more trusting

I have a problem with KYC, the app that you point out does not work for me, so I do not use it, but if I see that it is complicated to have an account in order, I think I understand that point of keeping it active.
