It appears this is only for Hetzner cloud.

Hopefully this means dedicated servers will come soon.

For those unaware, Hetzner truly has unbeatable pricing. Pricing that's even substantially cheaper than OVH.

I welcome competition.

EDIT: what's odd is that on their FAQ [0] they state dedicated AMD servers are available in Ashburn, but when I go to their actual dedicated server page [1] - no US locations are listed for any dedicated offering.

They didn't build their own dc, so cost will be much higher than with their own data centers. Cloud has higher margins, I don't think they'll be able to offer dedicated servers at the same price. Maybe if cloud takes off there they use it as a basis to build their own data center though. But the one in Finland took a few years from their first announcement so I don't think this will come soon. I'd imagine we see other cloud locations in 3rd party data centers before that.

It appears AMD Dedicated is coming (see my EDIT comment above). If they're able to offer dedicated at the similar price points to other regions, it would be truly amazing.

Right now we are only focusing on cloud servers. If things go well with the new ASH location, we will consider adding other products and services, such as dedicated root servers. But we will discuss this internally first before we make any announcements. --Katie, Marketing, Hetzner Online

Thanks Katie for the detail.

FYI - your AX101 dedicated offering in my mind is the best offering in the market. I'd love to see this come to the US.

Yeah, some of the developers on our product development team were particularly happy with that model. I'll make sure to pass that on. :) --Katie

I have to say, we were awestruck at the pricing and the Europe/US footprint is exactly what we need, so we are going all in to Hetzner. (The video tour of the datacenter was really good too)

Oh, that's wonderful! I'm so glad to hear that you're going to go all in with us. And I am really pleased you liked the video from der8auer at our data center. His crew did a great job, and I really love the topics he covered and how much detail he went into there. :) If you're new to us, make sure to check out these: some general cloud information: https://docs.hetzner.com/cloud stuff on GitHub: https://github.com/hetznercloud tutorials: https://community.hetzner.com/tutorials And have fun! --Katie

I'd also like to express my interest in US dedicated servers. I really like the pricing of your EU offering it'd be great to have something a bit closer here besides OVH!

That's great to know. You're clearly not the only one who feels this way. I'll be meeting with a colleague in the business development team son and will pass on all of the customer wishes for dedicated servers in the US. :) --Katie

Only Cloud Dedicated is available in Ashburn. That means you get dedicated cores on a shared physical CPU.

Good catch on this being "cloud dedicated" vs just "dedicated". Thanks
