What it costs
Hetzner's shared-vCPU Cloud Servers start at around $4.50/month.
Billed by Hetzner directly to your own account — DotDeployer's fee is separate and flat. Source: Hetzner's Cloud pricing page .
Runs PostgreSQL or SQL Server on the same server — see Databases — and DotDeployer itself is $12–$39/month, separate from what Hetzner costs.
Frequently asked questions
Does Hetzner bill DotDeployer or me?
You. Hetzner bills your own account directly for the server; DotDeployer never sees or holds your payment details for compute.
What can the API token do?
Only what DotDeployer needs to provision and manage servers in the project you scope it to. The token is encrypted at rest, and revoking it in Hetzner's console stops DotDeployer immediately.
Can I resize the server later?
Yes, from Hetzner's own console — DotDeployer keeps deploying to it the same way after a resize, since nothing about your site depends on the server's size.
