Hetzner Online GmbH is a company and data center operator based in Gunzenhausen, Bavaria, in Germany.
Hetzner Online GmbH began operations in Germany in 1997 under the name Hetzner Online Services. Between 2000 and 2015, Hetzner Online in Germany operated under the legal status AG ("Aktiengesellschaft"). In 2015, it changed its legal status to GmbH. In addition, Hetzner Online expanded its chief executive team with Stephan Konvicka and Günther Müller at the beginning of 2019.
The company is named after its founder Martin Hetzner. Hetzner Online owns and operates three data center parks in Nuremberg and Falkenstein (Germany), and Tuusula (Finland). It also rents colocation space in Ashburn, Virginia (United States), and Hillsboro, Oregon (United States). In 2024, Hetzner expanded its global footprint with a new data center in Singapore (Singapore).
In addition, Hetzner Online is a co-investor in the Cinia C-Lion1 project, which connected Helsinki and Rostock, Germany together with a 1,100 km long submarine fiberglass cable. The cable provides a high-speed connection between Hetzner's German and Finnish data centers.
Hetzner Online provides dedicated hosting, shared web hosting, virtual private servers, managed servers, domain names, SSL certificates, storage boxes, and cloud. At the data center parks located in Nuremberg, Falkenstein and Tuusula/Finland, customers can also connect their hardware to Hetzner Online's infrastructure and network with the company's colocation services. The company operates a server auction site online where the chance to rent older dedicated servers (not purchase or colocate) are auctioned off in the form of a Dutch auction. According to W3Techs, Hetzner is used by 2.7% of all websites.
Hetzner Online has a domain name registrar arrangement with ICANN (for registering domains under .com, .net and .org and others), DENIC (for .de), and nic.at (for .at).
Hetzner Online's datacenter projects are coordinated and implemented in-house with as little outsourcing as possible. [citation needed] Data center units served by multiple redundant uplinks, including 1300 Gbit/s to DE-CIX and fiber optic links to Nuremberg and Frankfurt. Colocation facilities are sited at all data center parks in Nuremberg, Falkenstein (Vogtland) in Germany, and Helsinki in Finland.
In 2021, a datacenter in Ashburn, Virginia, was opened, marking Hetzner's first American server. By 2024, the company took a significant step by opening a datacenter in Singapore, marking Hetzner's first Singaporean server. In March 2025, Hetzner and MHB Montage launched HT Clean Energy, a solar initiative for data centers, marking a significant move toward reducing the carbon footprint of the company's data center operations.
