Frequently asked questions
Hetzner AX41 at €40/mo (~₹3,600) is genuinely cheap. Catch: it's in Germany. For Indian users, latency is 130ms+ vs AIC Mumbai's sub-30ms. If your users are 100% European or US, Hetzner is fine. If any meaningful % are Indian, AIC's Mumbai DC + 100ms saved latency is worth the price difference. Rough math: for a busy India-serving site, latency improvement often converts to 10-30% higher conversion — pays for itself.
