Hetzner_OLon [dead]

Object storage is a product that customers have asked us about for a very long time — and now we are finally building it. For that we are looking for a (Senior) Product Engineer (m/f/x) to help us shape, build, and operate our object storage offering.

While object storage itself is a fairly simple product, building and running it at scale is challenging. We want to offer our customers a S3-compatible API which they can use to upload their files like website assets, build artifacts, or nightly backups without the need to worry about how and where their data is stored. And, of course, we want to offer that in the way Hetzner is famous for: with affordable pricing and great performance. Head on over to our website: https://www.hetzner-cloud.de/#jobs .

Hetzner_OLon Hetzner continues its growth in the US with a new location

Well, if you already know before you order the server that you are probably going to cancel it, then it does sound a bit like you would be abusing the cancellation policy. A policy like this is not meant for testing out a dedicated root server for fun -- instead, you could ask people in our customer forum about what kinds of benchmarks they tend to get. (https://forum.hetzner.com/) A lot of our customers are happy to share these kinds of details with people on the forum, and perhaps even someone here on Hacker News would be willing to do the same thing. However, if you really do plan on keeping the server, and then you try it out for a few days and are truly disappointed with the performance, of course you can cancel your order within the first 14 days. --Katie

Again, I am sorry that we could not accept your accounts. Every day, we also reject a large number of accounts from German and European users if there are red flags. (And unfortunately, there are some real situations that are logical that can lead still to false red flags.) For example, I have an unusual last name, especially for here in Germany, and when I have done personal shopping, I have had a number of online e-shops reject my new accounts because that looked suspicious or because they didn't think an address I wanted to send something to was real. So I understand that your frustration is real, and I am sorry for it. --Katie

Hetzner_OLon Hetzner continues its growth in the US with a new location

That's not a request I think I have seen before. I will make sure to pass that on. I believe some of the dev team members will be checking out this thread throughout the day to catch up on y'alls suggestions. --Katie

@nickjj -- That might be a difference in which VAT applies to your location. If you saw an advertisement in German, or perhaps an English ad in the UK or somewhere else in Europe, you might see a price difference similar to this if your actual region is one where we are not required to charge VAT. We also have a list of what VAT rates apply to specific locations: https://docs.hetzner.com/accounts-panel/accounts/payment-faq... --Katie

Hetzner Cloud also has an extensive ISO library, and if there is something that is missing from that library that you would like to have -- including a specific custom image -- customers can write a support ticket on Cloud Console and our team can upload it for you. --Katie

hi there, I am very sorry that we could not approve your account. We also do not publish a list of things that may or may not make your account accidentally appear fake. So I can't confirm whether or not it was the Protonmail or something else that may have triggered a review of your account. I am very sorry for the lack of transparency on this. I understand that it is frustrating and disappointing to be rejected as a customer. We are purposefully non-transparent about what triggers a review of new accounts. Why? If we published a list like this, it would very quickly become much easier for scammers and spammers to create realistic-looking accounts that they could use to abuse our products, and naturally, we don't want that. I glad that you have found another provider who could use to host your mail server. --Katie

Hetzner_OLon Hetzner continues its growth in the US with a new location

As someone who has customer service experience in both the USA and Germany, I can tell you that there are, indeed, cultural differences. There are certain situations in the USA where Germans and other Europeans don't always have the best experience because of a cultural misunderstanding. I am also the in-house English teacher here at Hetzner. (Most companies have no in-house teacher.) Something that I personally work on with my students in my conversations class and customer service class is intonation, which can cause spoken language to come off as sounding "arrogant" by accident. In addition, written responses may accidentally come of as sounding too direct or "arrogant" for the same reason. We work on these situations in my classes. So if you ever have a ticket that you think might make for good learning material for one of my classes, or that you would like to see escalated because of a serious language/cultural misunderstanding, please write to marketing@hetzner.com and mention my name (and include the relevant ticket number). --Katie

Thanks so much for the detailed recommendation! We're thrilled that you're with us, that you appreciate our low prices, that you find our Cloud Console pleasant to use, and that our rescale feature helps you grow so easily! --Katie

Hetzner_OLon Hetzner continues its growth in the US with a new location

Thanks for writing about how our team helped you resolve the issue. Have you been happy with the rest of your experiences using the cloud products? --Katie

Hetzner_OLon Hetzner continues its growth in the US with a new location

Wow! Twenty years in this industry is a lifetime! Thanks so much for supporting us all these years! I will pass on a +1 for you to the dev team about the managed databases. --Katie

Hetzner_OLon Hetzner continues its growth in the US with a new location

Perhaps you could give me a ticket number (or the latest ticket number) about this issue, and I can ask a team member to review it for you. Or, you can send the ticket number directly to marketing@hetzner.com with a link to this page, and I can do the same thing. --Katie

@ducktective -- You asked about being able to charge your account €20 or soomething similar. Yes, this is possible with bank transfer. You can find our bank details at the bottom of every invoice. Please enter your invoice or client number as a reference to your bank transfer. You can add more than €20 if you would prefer. And then later, if you decide to close your account, we will transfer the money back to you within 14 business days. You can find the answer this this question and others here: https://docs.hetzner.com/accounts-panel/accounts/payment-faq... --Katie

Hetzner_OLon Hetzner continues its growth in the US with a new location

Object storage is, indeed, very high up on the list of hoped-for items on our customer wish list for cloud products. I can add a +1 to that for you and send it onto the dev team. As always, we don't announce roadmaps of upcoming features and when they will be ready. We prefer to announce things when they go live -- just like today! --Katie

Hetzner_OLon Hetzner continues its growth in the US with a new location

Thanks for the feedback on both of these points. I will make sure to share these suggestions with the team! :) -Katie

Hetzner_OLon Hetzner continues its growth in the US with a new location

We are, indeed, very careful about new customers and limits, but we do this not to be mean, but to prevent abuse. Preventing abuse also means improving the overall performance for all of our customers. So by being careful about limits, we are also trying to make your experience -- in the end -- a much more positive one. --Katie, Hetzner

Hetzner_OLon Hetzner continues its growth in the US with a new location

Thanks for the feedback about our dedicated root servers. It's great to know that we have fans there that would like to also see these products in the States. Installing the infrastructure for our own dedicated root servers in the USA means a much bigger investment in terms of making sure the DC/DC parks are up to our very high standards. For now at least, we are concentrating on gradually adding a few more cloud locations, and then we may test the waters when it comes to other products. But of course, if and when we do that, we'll let you know once it goes live! We hope you have fun today generating a few servers in our new location in Hillsboro, Oregon. :) :) --Katie

Hetzner_OLon Hetzner continues its growth in the US with a new location

Thanks for sharing the great news! --Katie, Hetzner

Hetzner_OLon Hetzner Price Adjustment

Please see: https://docs.hetzner.com/general/others/price-adjustment/#wh... "in all locations" = Yes, the ASH location will also be affected. --Katie, Hetzner
