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.

Word. Their Helsinki data center is really good, I’ve run several bare metal servers over the years. IIRC it’s run on 100% renewable energy (wind and solar and hydro) which is sweet. Pricing for really powerful AMD servers is great too!

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.

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