Just moved this server from Contabo to Hetzner.

I've been having quite some technical problems lately (which might have been my fault), but this time it felt particularly bad:

• Rebooting the instance from the UI didn't fix the problem
• I couldn't connect to the machine via SSH or VNC
• The "rescue" option didn't work (I still couldn't connect to the machine with the rescue image running)

I contacted support which, to their credit, responded in a timely manner, and apparently they just rebooted the machine and things just stated working.

So, overall I think their offer might be pretty good if you don't need uptime guarantees (e.g. if you just want to host a minecraft server or something), but I'm not sure if I can keep trusting it to host this blog.

Either way, I'm now on a smaller instance (since Hetzner is a bit more expensive), so maybe things will blow up... Hopefully not

@JD557 Oh my, I have had no problems connecting to my Hetzner machine(s) via SSH ever, but I can imagine that being a dealbreaker. Vultr might be an option?

Though I gotta say at the price ranges of Contabo/Hetzner there aren't many other options (maybe go full create-your-own-rack? :P)

@JD557 Oh whoops I thought these problems arose after a migration, hopefully Hetzner will be a smoother experience!
