Migration

From Hetzner Cloud to EasyCloudify in three steps

Free, assisted, zero-data-loss migration handled end-to-end by our senior engineers.

  1. Step 01

    Audit your Hetzner stack

    We map every Hetzner Cloud project, server, volume, snapshot, network, firewall and one-click app you run. Output: a 1-to-1 migration plan with target regions and downtime estimates.

  2. Step 02

    Replicate in EasyCloudify

    We provision equivalent (or upgraded) services in the EasyCloudify region of your choice, restore your data, re-create networks and firewalls, and validate parity before any DNS change.

  3. Step 03

    Cutover with zero data loss

    During a maintenance window agreed with you, we flip DNS, verify application health, and hand you a fully managed stack. Our engineers stay on standby for 24 hours post-cutover.

FAQ

Hetzner Cloud alternative — answered

Common questions from teams considering the switch.

Is EasyCloudify a Hetzner alternative?

Yes — but with a different operating model. Hetzner Cloud is excellent IaaS: you rent VMs and run them yourself (OS, updates, security, backups, monitoring, scaling, incidents — all your responsibility). EasyCloudify is a true Managed Services Provider: our senior engineers take proactive ownership of those day-2 operations 24/7. The right comparison isn't price per vCPU — it's the cost of running ops in-house versus offloading them to a managed cloud hosting provider.

Where does EasyCloudify deploy compared to Hetzner?

EasyCloudify deploys to 13 datacenter regions across 3 continents: Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London, New York (×2), San Francisco (×2), Atlanta, Richmond, Toronto, Singapore, Bangalore and Sydney. Hetzner Cloud operates 6 locations as of their public site: Falkenstein (DE), Nuremberg (DE), Helsinki (FI), Hillsboro OR (US), Ashburn VA (US) and Singapore (SG).

What does "fully managed" actually mean here?

Fully managed means EasyCloudify is responsible for keeping your services healthy. We monitor 24/7, patch and harden the OS, run WAF + DDoS protection, take daily backups (sub-daily on higher tiers), respond to incidents with senior engineers, plan capacity, and tune performance. With Hetzner, every one of those tasks is on you (or your DevOps team) by default.

Is EasyCloudify GDPR-ready like Hetzner?

Yes. EasyCloudify offers 3 EU data-residency regions (Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London), GDPR-aligned data processing, encryption at rest (AES-256), TLS 1.3 in transit, and SOC 2 alignment. Hetzner is also GDPR-compliant and ISO/IEC 27001 certified per their public compliance page; both are valid for EU-regulated workloads.

How does support compare to Hetzner?

Hetzner publicly offers 24/7 email support. EasyCloudify includes 24/7 access to senior engineers on every plan with a median response time under 15 minutes — covering not just infrastructure tickets but the apps, databases, email and storage you run with us. Higher tiers add a dedicated Slack channel and a named technical account manager.

Can I migrate workloads from Hetzner to EasyCloudify?

Yes, and the migration is free. We audit your Hetzner stack (VMs, volumes, snapshots, networks, firewalls, one-click apps), replicate it on EasyCloudify in the region of your choice, validate parity, schedule a cutover window with you, flip DNS, and stay on standby for 24 hours after go-live.
