>I've always been hesitant to use them for anything important because they've historically been known for very aggressively shutting down your service if their automated systems detect e.g. suspicious traffic.
FWIW, I've been running a seedbox in Hetzner's Falkenstein datacenter for yrears without issue. I only use private trackers + 1 public tracker focused on asian content, but they're definitely capable of figuring out that the my traffic is mostly torrent-related and have never taken action. The only time they've ever null-routed me was when I accidentally left a DNS resolver open to the world.
Have a couple seedboxes for myself and friends. Sometimes public torrents are used, some of which are monitored. Hetzner just sends a notice about the report and gives you 24 hours to reply without disabling the server. If you miss it then they null route the offending server. Never had any issues with them denying my responses, they're usually very quick to respond to clear the abuse report after submitting.
Seriously love Hetzner, amazing prices and really fast human support.
What do you say in your reply? I'm assuming the evidence against you is simple and clear, so I'm surprised they clear the report.
