Hetzner cloud and hosting services

Hetzner Online GmbH is a major European data center operator and web hosting provider founded in 1997 by Martin Hetzner. Headquartered in Gunzenhausen, Germany, the company has built a reputation for providing high-performance hosting products at competitive prices. Unlike many of its global competitors, Hetzner has remained a privately-owned, unfunded company, avoiding external venture capital to maintain independent control over its operations.

The company's infrastructure is spread across multiple strategic global locations. It owns and operates extensive data center parks in Nuremberg and Falkenstein, Germany, as well as in Tuusula near Helsinki, Finland. In recent years, Hetzner has expanded its global footprint by establishing presence in the United States (Ashburn, Virginia and Hillsboro, Oregon) and Singapore. This international expansion allows the company to serve a global clientele while maintaining its core operational standards and German corporate heritage.

As of 2026, Hetzner remains under the ultimate ownership of its founder, Martin Hetzner, through the parent entity ENSoXX Holding AG. This structure ensures that the company retains its original vision of technical excellence and financial independence. The brand operates various subsidiaries, such as Hetzner Finland Oy and Hetzner US LLC, to manage its localized infrastructure and services while adhering to strict European data protection standards.
