| Limits | - volume-quota (binding) 20 TB a month of included outgoing traffic per server, then billed per 100 MB block source
|
|---|
| Binding | volume-quota the 20 TB a month bundle is eighteen times 1 TiB, so nothing binds at a user's volume. The constraint is price rather than allowance: there is no credit, so the first euro is spent on day one. |
|---|
| Identity | card a payment method at signup; there is no trial credit to verify against, so the first invoice is the gate |
|---|
| Egress | 20 TB a month of included outgoing traffic per server, with over-usage billed and no free credit anywhere in the offer; ingress: udp free allowance: 20 TB a month of included outgoing traffic per server, with over-usage billed and no free credit anywhere in the offer |

| Interface | cli, rest the hcloud CLI and API, and the Cloud Console |
|---|
| Tooling | wg-quick on the server; the hcloud CLI |
|---|
| Reliability | over-usage is billed in 100 MB blocks with no cap, and alerts at 75 and 100 percent do not stop the traffic |
|---|
| Notes | In TB per dollar over a year, Hetzner wins and it is not free, which is a different question from the one asks and belongs in the paid lane. The page offers no credit. The overage rate (widely quoted as EUR 1 per TB) is not on the FAQ page and is not recorded here. |
|---|
| Evidence note | documented the 20 TB and the free inbound line are first-party; the per-TB overage price was not in the FAQ text and is left unstated rather than guessed |

| 2026-10-23 | www.hetzner.com/cloud/ | 'with Hetzner you benefit from generous included traffic and very low prices for additional data transfer', which names the position without a number |
