Notes — Hetzner is a Cloud Infrastructure provider based in Germany. The SLA covers Cloud Servers and vServers with a 99.9% monthly availability commitment and pro-rata credits (hourly rate × duration of unavailability, capped at 100% of the affected server’s monthly invoice). Additional services such as load balancers, firewalls, snapshots, backups, managed Kubernetes, and object storage are explicitly excluded from SLA coverage.
