German Hosting and Data Center Provider Hetzner Expands to the US

German hosting and data center firm Hetzner has opened up its first location outside of Europe. The provider now offers cloud services from a colo facility in Ashburn, Northern Virginia.

Up to date, Hetzner’s clients have been choosing from cloud server locations in Nuremberg and Falkenstein in Germany, and Helsinki in Finland, both of which are environmentally friendly. The company has first crossed the Baltic Sea in 2018 with the first unit opening in their new Data Center Park Helsinki. Now, three years later, they are crossing the Atlantic Ocean as well.

Hetzner has opened up excellent prospects for itself – to play an even more significant role in North America. With the latest expansion, customers can now select Ashburn for most cloud products.

However, the expansion into the US doesn’t include other hosting solutions, such as dedicated servers, colocation, or storage. Furthermore, Hetzner has not built its own data center as it operates in Europe. Instead, it will rely on a colocation facility in Virginia.

You’ve all been speculating about when and, more importantly, where Hetzner will open another location. Now we can tell you: the new Ashburn, Virginia location is available for all cloud servers with AMD processors and for all cloud features. https://t.co/IBlEJCa0PR pic.twitter.com/4XNpaxwjx6

The new US location is in the region Data Center Alley, one of the world’s most prominent data center capitals. It will deliver clients the needed strategic location and means for global interconnectivity. North Americans will receive the same low latency and attractive prices as European customers.

If you establish a server in one of Hetzner’s locations, you will receive a virtual space on a physical machine. You can benefit from significant scalability, meaning you can add, remove resources, scale the performance up or down with ease at all times.
