Hetzner is great but be wary of having anything even remotely related to cryptocurrencies running on those servers. They restrict not just mining but personal nodes (execution, consensus, light clients), and want nothing crypto related on their network.

Btw I am reading that in general their IPs can end up on a bunch of block lists because of this.

I think their IPs ended up on block lists due to mail spam. AFAIK the newer data centers had better reputation (Helsinki) and you have to ask support to open SMTP ports and they’ll want to have a bit of a relationship with you before they do that. I remember having to upload my passport.
