Assessment · documents read Sep 29, 2026Hetzner, in short
What stood out when we read the documents: strengths, weaknesses, who it suits, and what we could not find.
Strengths
- RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q (96 GB) at 1199 EUR/month incl. IPv4 (1.91 USD/GPU-h at full-month use), with a 24-core Xeon, 256 GB DDR5 and 2x 960 GB NVMe included
- Hourly billing capped at the monthly price, no minimum term, cancellation effective immediately
- Unlimited traffic on the 1 Gbit/s port and a dedicated IPv4 in the displayed price
- Own data centers in Germany and Finland, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified, GDPR DPA available
- Server Auction lists older GPU servers (GTX 1080, RTX 4000 SFF Ada, RTX 6000 Ada) with no setup fee, from 76 EUR/month
Weaknesses
- One GPU per server; FAQ states GEX servers cannot be configured with multiple GPUs; no H100, H200, B200 or AMD GPUs
- One-time setup fee of 209 to 1149 EUR makes short rentals expensive
- Hourly rate is well above monthly/720 (GEX131-1: 1.9215 EUR/h against 1.665 EUR/h at full-month use)
- Fraud checks: first-time high-value orders may be held or rejected; ID or credit-card prepayment can be requested
- No crypto payment; postpaid invoices; account currency fixed at creation
- No GPU platform layer: no containers, templates, notebooks, serverless or managed Kubernetes for GPU servers
- 1 Gbit/s network by default; 10 Gbit uplink is a 43 EUR/month add-on with a 20 TB traffic allowance
Ideal for
- EU teams wanting a single-GPU dedicated server for inference, fine-tuning or rendering by the month with full root access
- Customers who need hosting in Germany or Finland under GDPR with invoice or SEPA payment
Not published
- Per-TB overage price for the 10 Gbit uplink add-on (value blank in the captured page text)
- VRAM of Server Auction GPUs is not stated in the listings
- Exact data center availability of GEX45 and GEX131 (official pages disagree)
- No official Terraform provider or CLI for dedicated servers found on the pages read (hcloud tooling covers Hetzner Cloud, which has no GPUs)
- Server Auction data is a live snapshot of 2026-09-29
- Setup fees, hourly and monthly prices were read from the price API
- the GEX131-2 and -3 prices are shown only in the configurator after rendering
Observations
Prices are visible without an account: per server per month (monthly cap), per hour and one-time setup fee, labelled 'excl. VAT', with an EUR / VAT 0% selector in the header
GEX131 card reads 'starting from' and '3 Types'; the three server types (RAM/disk tiers) are priced only in the configurator
Prices are filled in by JavaScript from website-price-api.hetzner.com; the page text has no numbers until rendered
Location data is inconsistent: GEX131 product page and configurator show HEL1 and FSN1, the FAQ says NBG1 and FSN1; GEX45 product page and FAQ show HEL1 only while the price API lists FSN1, HEL1 and NBG1
FAQ answers 'Does Hetzner also offer GPU servers with NVIDIA H100?' by pointing to a feedback form
Primary IPv4 is a separate configurator line (1.70 EUR/month) although the headline price includes it
