So I bought this tiny vps from Hetzner for €4/mo and the 14 day refund window passed cause I was busy with work. Realized the vm cant even run what I need (512mb ram lol). Emailed em on day 16 asking anyway. Worth a shot right? €4 is €4. Anyone gotten exceptions?
Hetzner refund after 14 days?
$3/year. 128MB RAM. Pure happiness.

I got a response from billing. Their standard policy is a 14-day money-back guarantee from the date of service activation.
- 512MB RAM
- 1 vCPU (fair share)
- 10GB SSD storage
- 500GB monthly transfer
In my case, they processed a goodwill refund of €8.00 to my original payment method. They said this falls outside standard terms and should not be taken as precedent.
Hetzner goodwill refund on day 16 is rare
Didnt know they still did goodwill. Most hosts just ghost you after day 15...
Transparency moment: we keep a small error budget for exactly this. Customer trust degrades faster than our monthly burn rate. Blameless postmortem on why that 512mb tier exists at all, honestly
Jaja yo tambien tried with OVHcloud once day 20 ok no dice sale better luck next time
Honey badger don't care... about downtime
