About Hetzner Cloud
What is Hetzner Cloud?
Hetzner Cloud is a German cloud infrastructure provider offering VPS instances with transparent hourly billing across 6 data centers in Europe, USA, and Asia. Known for exceptional price-to-performance ratio, Hetzner provides four instance families (CX cost-optimized, CAX ARM-based, CPX regular performance, CCX dedicated vCPUs) with all-inclusive pricing that covers traffic, IPv4/IPv6, DDoS protection, and firewalls at no extra charge.
- Instance Types by Use Case: CX (Cost-Optimized Shared): Cheapest option with shared Intel/AMD vCPUs, perfect for development and testing, EU-only. CAX (ARM Shared): Ampere Altra ARM processors with excellent efficiency, EU-only. CPX (Regular Performance): AMD EPYC shared vCPUs, available globally, ideal for production with variable load. CCX (Dedicated): Dedicated vCPUs with guaranteed resources, no noisy neighbors, best for consistent performance requirements.
- Regional Pricing & Availability: Germany/Finland offer all instance types (CX/CAX/CPX/CCX) with the lowest prices and generous traffic allowances (20-60 TB included). USA has moderate pricing (+8-36%) with 1-8 TB traffic. Singapore is most expensive (+40-67%) with limited traffic (0.5-8 TB, varies by instance type). All regions include free DDoS protection, firewalls, and private networking.
- Billing & Cost Features: Hourly billing (always rounded up to full hours) with monthly price caps ensures you never overpay. The system automatically charges whichever is cheaper - total hourly charges or the monthly cap. Partial month usage is prorated. No setup fees, no contracts, pay only until server is deleted. Additional features: Block storage (€0.044/GB), Snapshots (€0.011/GB), Backups (20% of instance cost).
When to Use Hetzner Cloud
Start with CX/CAX instances in Germany/Finland for maximum value in development and testing. Use CPX for production workloads with variable demand. Choose CCX dedicated instances when you need guaranteed consistent performance or want to eliminate noisy neighbor issues.
Ideal for
- European-focused applications (data residency, GDPR compliance)
- Cost-sensitive workloads where EU-only deployment is acceptable
- Development and staging environments (CX series at €3.49/month)
- ARM-compatible workloads (CAX series for energy efficiency)
- Predictable monthly budgets (monthly price caps prevent overage)
Not ideal for
- Applications requiring extensive global presence (only 4 regions)
- Workloads needing serverless or managed services (bare VPS only)
- Windows Server workloads (self-install only, no official support)
- High-traffic applications in Singapore (expensive traffic overage at €7.40/TB)

7 Hetzner Cloud Cost Optimization Tips
Choose EU Regions for Maximum Savings
Germany/Finland offer all instance types (CX/CAX/CPX/CCX) at the lowest prices with 20-60 TB included traffic. CX23 costs €3.49/month in EU vs no equivalent in USA/Singapore. If your users are primarily European or region doesn't matter for your use case, always choose EU to save 20-67% vs other regions.
Start with Cost-Optimized Instances
Begin with CX or CAX series for development, testing, and non-critical workloads. CX23 (€3.49/month) and CAX11 (€3.79/month) provide excellent value. Only upgrade to CPX or CCX when you need the extra performance or dedicated resources. Many production workloads run fine on shared vCPUs.
Use Hourly Billing Strategically
Leverage Hetzner's hourly billing for temporary workloads. Spin up high-spec instances for batch processing or CI/CD, then delete them when done. Usage is always rounded up to full hours. Example: CCX63 costs €0.4623/hour - use for 2 hours of intensive processing (€0.92) instead of paying monthly (€288.49).
Monitor Traffic to Avoid Overage
Track your traffic usage to stay within included allowances. EU instances include 20-60 TB (very generous), but Singapore only includes 0.5-8 TB (varies by instance type) with expensive overage (€7.40/TB). Set up monitoring and alerts. Consider EU region for high-traffic applications to get significantly more included traffic.
Optimize Storage Costs
Use instance-included NVMe storage first (40-960 GB depending on instance). Only add block storage volumes (€0.044/GB) when you need more. Use snapshots (€0.011/GB) instead of keeping multiple full backups. Delete unused snapshots and volumes regularly to avoid accumulated costs.
Use IPv6-Only When Possible
Save €0.50/month per server by using IPv6-only configuration if your application supports it. Many modern apps and containerized workloads work fine with IPv6. For internet access, use a single IPv4 reverse proxy/load balancer to front multiple IPv6-only backend servers.
Track Multi-Region Deployments with CostGoat
Monitor Hetzner Cloud costs across regions with CostGoat's real-time tracking. Get instant alerts when Singapore traffic overage approaches (€7.40/TB), when you forget to delete temporary instances, or when monthly costs trend above budget. Optimize multi-region deployments with unified visibility.
