Hetzner is flaky though, you can't trust them. You don't want your website taken down because they decided something is suspicious and they randomly banned you without warning.

<Insert every cloud provider here>. There are countless posts on HN that describe people and businesses being blocked by a cloud provider like GCP. Hetzner is by all means not an outlier.

They are for me. Got banned and received the explanation that my actual billing details were suspicious (there was nothing suspicious other than possibly my geolocation which is SE Asia). I asked them to clarify and they declined.

Signed up with Contabo without incident and have been a happy customer ever since.

Look, whether or not Hetzner chose to block me out of blatant geo-racism is not at issue here, I wouldn't want to do business with them either way since they declined to give me a reasonable explanation and I wouldn't feel secure with a provider like that.
