Hetzner new EX41 line

Member, Host Rep, LIR
Today Hetzner launched new EX41 line. Besides new i7-6700 CPU I noticed they increased guaranteed bandwidth from 200Mbit/s to 1Gbit/s. The setup fee still seems quite high, but monthly price is totally more attractive now compared to their other servers. Out of this new line this one is a clear winner to me with 64GB of RAM for 39 euros/mo

I've heard they detect a lot of times ddos attacks coming from their own network, which are not ddos at all.
While I really like Hetzner, a server without ECC RAM is not my cup of tea.
oh wow cheaper than my auction server but setup fees too high
The setup fees is such a dealbreaker

Those ssd options are pretty nice.
As in, February 2016?
Same old shitty hetzner.
You are (sometimes) such a bullshitter. Really. Not in general, but sometimes.
second calendar week of 2016
No second Calendar Week. That's the week starting January 11. I guess it's a bit unusual for non Europeans to talk about calendar weeks.
Just ordered a EX41-SSD to test it out, received SSH details within 6 minutes of placing order.
Seems there using http://uk.crucial.com/gbr/en/ct500mx200ssd1
Will pop some benchmark's out shortly if people would like.
To be fair, I'd prefur a lower setup fee and a higher monthly cost or what OVH/SYS do with a higher monthly cost until I've paid off the setup.
€79 setup is a little high just to test.
Oh and hetzner don't offer BGP sessions so that's a no no.
@rmlhhd, Well.. they do offer BGP Sessions.. for at least 20U Colo's (+ €200 monthly fee + €300 setup)
It does seem that not many providers in DE will do it, well.. at least the common ones, without large colo plans etc.
If anyone is interested:

Raid 0
While it looks like a nice server for a new provider, their IP prices is high and they only allow a /27 max per server.
eh, 8k CPU Bench, get the same for less then 30 bucks from auction, with 32gig, and you save 70 bucks.
True, I guess your paying the setup fee for the new generation of CPU and the SSD's. Won't find 2 x 500GB SSD's on auction for same price. All down to what you need I guess!
The EX41S-SSD is interesting, 64GB Ram and 2x250GB SSD for 39€.
@srvrpro Hetzner allows a /27 per server, if you pay for it.
They do it for far less - Single colo already. Unlikely to work if you don't speak german and annoy them enough. For dedicated you can have them announce an IP range you can use like "failover" IPs then for a one time setup.
BGP as said not cheap though as you need another uplink for it for some reason as well.
Crazy how they can guarantee 1Gbps
They recently upgraded their backbone to 1.2tbps + external, and as they set a bandwidth limit they can estimate better.
Right, typo.

Thanks for posting these deals! Does anyone know what does KVM-over-IP Remote Management mean?
At the moment I'm at Online.net and I'm installing FreeBSD from a bootonly ISO (they've put it to the NAS after I asked) over Dell iDRAC / HP ILO.
My question is that how could I install FreeBSD onto these Hetzner servers? Would I need to buy that crazy expensive KVM option? That costs 125 EUR setup + 15 EUR per month!
On the other hand they are saying that FreeBSD is supported. So what is the truth?
You can install it using their installimage script that lets you install a range of OS's including FreeBSD.
No need for the KVM.
Thanks, but does it install an up-to-date minimal version, or just something they've made?
1.24 Tbit Bandwidth
@xrz, I guess they mean Tbit/sec and it's for the whole datacenter. What you are looking for is the 30 TB / month bandwidth.

@exception0x876 that's what I'm worried about, it says they are still on 10.1. I definitely don't want to start a clean machine with upgrading to 10.2.
