Servers

Cloud servers are virtual machines that run on physical servers and are used to run an operating system and computer programs. The physical servers are located in the USA, in Singapore, and in our data centers in Europe. The virtualization makes it possible for you to adjust the scale of your servers at any time. And you can easily add or remove other features if needed. Our cloud servers do not include public IP addresses but you can add Primary IPs if you would like to have a public network interface. You can choose to use existing Primary IPs (IPv4, IPv6) from your project or to create a new one with the server.

You can create your own cloud server quickly and easily in the Cloud Console and add features such as Firewalls and Volumes. You also have the option to create a new server from a snapshot.

Pricing

Cloud server prices vary depending on the type (Shared vCPU, Dedicated vCPU) and do not include public IP addresses. Per server, you can add one Primary IP of each type (IPv4, IPv6), see network options.

Server types

You can choose between Shared vCPU and Dedicated vCPU cloud servers.

Shared vCPU
  • For best performance, hypervisors are used to distribute usage rights of CPU resources among several virtual servers
  • Ideal for individual applications or development environments




    • Dedicated vCPU
  • Every dedicated vCPU instance has its own dedicated CPU resources
  • Ideal for CPU intensive applications or research calculations



    • For more information about available plans and prices, see hetzner.com/cloud.

    Network options

    Cloud servers do not include public IP addresses. Therefore, a Primary IP has to be added to the server to establish a connection to the internet.

    • We do not charge for our Primary IPs of type IPv6.

    • We charge an additional cost of € 0.50/month (excl. VAT) for our Primary IPs of type IPv4.

    When creating a server, you can choose from three network options. At least one of those three options has to be selected.

    Option
    Private network no Primary IP at least one pvt IP
    Public network one Primary IP (IPv4 or IPv6 ) pvt IP optional
    Public network two Primary IPs (IPv4 and IPv6) pvt IP optional

    If you create a server with a public IP address and do not select an existing Primary IP from your project, our system will auto-create one for you.

    Please note: Each interface of a cloud server is automatically assigned a MAC address and connections to the internet only work with this assigned MAC address.

    Operating systems

    You can choose from Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, CentOS, Rocky Linux, and AlmaLinux as your operating system.
