The "Hidden Cost" of Low Prices
Hetzner is fantastic for raw hardware, but their Cloud offering is strictly "unmanaged." This means you are responsible for:
- × Operating System Updates
- × Firewall Configuration
- × Security Patches & Monitoring
DanubeData changes the equation. We match the aggressive pricing of German hosting but include the management layer. We keep your server secure so you can focus on shipping code, not configuring Linux kernels.
Better UX, Faster Deploys
Hetzner's interface is functional but dated. DanubeData offers a modern, intuitive dashboard where you can deploy complex infrastructure in just 45 seconds with zero friction.
Support that actually helps
Hetzner support is famously strict about "hardware only." If your software breaks, you're on your own. DanubeData provides human support that understands modern development stacks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is DanubeData as cheap as Hetzner?
Yes. DanubeData starts at €4.50/month. This is directly comparable to Hetzner's entry-level cloud instances, but DanubeData includes managed services and support that Hetzner charges extra for or doesn't provide.
What is the difference between Hetzner and DanubeData?
The main difference is management. Hetzner is a 'DIY' (Do It Yourself) platform where you manage the OS and security. DanubeData is a managed platform where we handle updates, security, and backups, allowing you to focus on development.
