Not a customer of either but it's very interesting what you're saying in the context of all comments here complaining about not being allowed to open accounts on Hetzner. Maybe their extreme vetting requirements are actually paying off.
I guess so. They must get thousands of fake sign ups every day. A cheap Server with 1-5 gbps uplink is basically a digital weapon.
I signed up as a European company, it was quite easy for Hetzner to check that I’m a legit customer.
And that’s probably their target group. Companies in Europe and the US. Hobbyists who just run one cheap server for fun are not a huge profit, but high risk to be fraudulent.
