Backbone connection fault between Frankfurt - Helsinki
The issue has not reoccurred over the weekend. We are continuing to monitor the situation and are still awaiting feedback from the service provider.
A component listed here does not necessarily mean a full outage — large providers routinely report maintenance on individual locations. It only affects the verdict above when the vendor marks it major or critical and our own checks also saw Hetzner fail from enough regions to rule out probe noise.
Hetzner uptime
Measured from multiple regions every 6 hours. Percentages count only checks that returned an availability answer — 9 days measured so far. A dash means that window does not yet hold enough measured days to publish a figure.

Each region runs its own request from a different part of the world. A service can be up for one continent and down for another, which is usually the first sign of a routing or CDN problem.
What Hetzner does
Hetzner is a German hosting provider running cloud servers, dedicated machines and colocation. Its cloud product covers shared and dedicated-vCPU instances, private networks, stateful firewalls, load balancers, volumes and object storage, from datacenters in Falkenstein, Nuremberg, Helsinki, Hillsboro, Ashburn and Singapore. Its pricing makes it a common home for side projects and for production workloads run by small engineering teams.
What an outage looks like
Cloud servers become unreachable over SSH and stop answering on their public addresses, usually confined to one location rather than all of them. Object Storage requests time out or return errors while compute keeps running. The Hetzner Console will not load or sign in, so you cannot reboot or rebuild an affected machine. Backbone or datacenter-level faults take out every service in one location at once.
What to do about it
Check status.hetzner.com, which separates ongoing Information items from Planned maintenance and Resolved incidents, and names the affected location. Confirm whether the fault is your machine or the location before rebuilding anything, because a rebuild during a network-level incident destroys a working server for no reason. Hetzner announces datacenter and backbone maintenance in advance on the same page, so check the maintenance list before assuming an unplanned outage.
Is it down for everyone, or just you?
If this page says Hetzner is up but it is not loading for you, the problem is between you and them. Run a check against any URL from all 18 regions to find out where it breaks.

How we measure this
- We request Hetzner's public endpoint every 6 hours from Fly.io regions across six continents — 8 of them answered the most recent check.
- A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A
403or429means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage. - A single failing region is treated as probe noise. We only change the verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
- Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
- Where Hetzner publishes an official status feed we read it too. An all-clear from the vendor can soften an unconfirmed degradation; a vendor-declared outage only worsens our verdict when our own checks corroborate it.
