PLENTY OF POWER, SMALL PRICE: THE NEW EX42 AND EX42-NVME
We're premiering our updated EX line of products which are available at our famously low prices. The EX42-NVMe provides outstanding speed with two 512 GB NVMe SSDs. And with its two 4 TB Enterprise HDDs, the EX42 has an ample amount storage. Equipped with 64 GB of DDR4 RAM and an Intel® Core™ i7-6700 quad-core processor, the two models will accelerate your applications and deliver an additional overall performance boost.
Starting at just €34.00 a month plus a one-time setup fee of €39.00, both dedicated root models are a steal.
DAE, Hetzner??!!

PLENTY OF CAPS.
I want to say that's just because I copied the text from the Hetzner Newsroom, but who are we kidding here?
Heinz is the new OVH.
Take that as you want it...
NICE.
So... they updated the EX41, putting 32GB more of RAM and upgrading the storage to 512GB NVMe while maintaining the price AND reducing the setup fee?!
Witchcraft!
Hey online.scaleway.whatever.net, this is how it's done. :P
WHAT A GREAT OFFER
Sad! I have 2x EX61, and now I need to cancel and order again...
once-off setup: € 119.00
EDIT2
It seems that the whole newsletter hasn't been translated in English yet; of interest for some it could be this
39 for EX42, and it is 20 cheaper, so I can get back in 2 months :-)
My EX61 NVMe were ordered in their promotional period, so no setup fee :-)
If those were xeons I would switch faster than you can say: fuck yeah.
fuck yeah.
so, about three minutes
Great price. Can one trial these before before buying?
Standard 2 weeks before invoice, I would presume.
What for?
I am sure they are top notch.
EDIT2:
More concerned about the Helsinki network than the hardware tbh.
Decent deal.
As a long time OVH Canada customer, I'm looking more and more forwards to using Hetzner servers. My question is how is the network/peering, if most of my visitors are from the US? The site would be behind Cloudflare, so what I'm looking for is Cloudflare + Hetzner performance for primarily US users.
I do expect some cheap hetzner yearly nvme's now.
lmaoooooo
I'm considering this option as well. It seems to me that it should be OK as CF network in both US and EU and between both locations is supposed to be pretty good.
My guess is that more latency would be the main difference. If you cache all js, img with CF and have only the pages to fetch on your hetzner server, I doubt that your visitors would notice any difference.
You can try the network on their cloud servers, billed hourly.
What do you recommend for testing real world network latency of full website loading? Are there tools which load a website + all scripts, images, etc from different locations of the world and tells you how fast is the total loading?
Nice deal, particularly if you intend to keep them for a good number of months. I bought two.
Now this is sweet:
For some reason this server Geekbenches like a 6700K, not a 6700.
https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/11931133
6700 averages: https://browser.geekbench.com/processors/1715
6700K averages: https://browser.geekbench.com/processors/1705
This is the magic of Hetzner.
