Hetzner remains one of the cheapest VPS in Europe, even after the 15 June 2026 price increase. But it has no datacenter in France, its support works by ticket in English or German, and backups and snapshots are billed separately. OnetSolutions hosts in France, replies in French under 2 hours and includes everything in the price. Here is the line-by-line comparison.
On raw price, Hetzner keeps the edge: a CX23 (2 vCPU, 4 GB, 40 GB NVMe) costs €5.49/month excl. VAT plus €0.50 for IPv4, versus €6.39/month excl. VAT yearly for our equivalent GP-4. The gap is small at the entry level and wider on the 8 GB and 16 GB sizes. This page does not hide it.
What you buy at OnetSolutions is the rest: data hosted in France rather than Germany or Finland, a French-speaking technician replying 7 days a week under 2 hours, off-site backups and snapshots included where Hetzner bills backups at 20% of the server price and snapshots per GB, unlimited traffic with no quota, and Windows Server 2025 with its licence.
In practice: French company with data-location requirements, team without fluent technical English, backups you want to stop thinking about — OnetSolutions. Personal or technical project, minimal budget, comfortable with ticket support in English and Germany as a location — Hetzner remains an excellent choice.

The reasons that come up in the migration requests we handle, without embellishment.
Hetzner has no French datacenter: your data lives in Falkenstein, Nuremberg or Helsinki. At OnetSolutions it stays in France, with a French company — which simplifies compliance and reassures your own customers.
Hetzner support works by ticket, in English or German. Here, a French-speaking technician replies 7 days a week in under 2 hours, included with every VPS.
Hetzner bills automated backups at 20% of the server price and snapshots per GB. At OnetSolutions both are included: daily off-site backups and one-click snapshots.
No 20 TB quota and no overage billing: your file server, mirror or game server never produces a surprise at month end.
Windows Server 2025 with the licence included from GP-4, where Hetzner Cloud offers no official Windows image and leaves you to install and license it yourself.
Our team guides you from the first rsync to the DNS switch. It is not a billed service: it is simply how we welcome a customer changing providers.
An honest comparison also says when to stay. In these situations, we advise you not to migrate.
At equivalent size, Hetzner remains cheaper, especially above 8 GB. If you use neither support, nor the included backups, nor Windows, the gap is not offset.
Your data can sit in Germany or Finland with no regulatory constraint or customer expectation? Then the France argument does not weigh on your decision.
Hetzner offers Ashburn, Hillsboro and Singapore. OnetSolutions hosts only in France.
Ticket support in English, excellent documentation, mature API and Terraform provider: if you never open a ticket, included support brings you nothing.
A well-run migration is invisible: you switch once everything is validated, and your Hetzner server stays in place until the last moment.
Pick the plan recommended in the table above and your operating system: the machine is delivered in 10 seconds with its dedicated IP.
Copy sites, databases and files over SSH or rsync from your Hetzner server. Our team walks you through it step by step if you wish.
Test your applications on the OnetSolutions VPS IP before any switch: your Hetzner server keeps serving visitors in the meantime.
Lower the TTL, point your domains to the new IP, verify, then delete the Hetzner server: hourly billing stops immediately.
Before switching DNS, take a one-click snapshot of your new VPS: you freeze a validated state and can roll back in seconds if a post-migration setting goes wrong.
Price, location, GDPR, migration, support: concrete answers for those comparing Hetzner and OnetSolutions.
No, not at equal specs: a Hetzner CX23 (2 vCPU, 4 GB, 40 GB NVMe) costs €5.49/month excl. VAT plus €0.50 for IPv4, versus €6.39/month excl. VAT yearly for our GP-4. Our price, however, includes off-site backups, snapshots, unlimited traffic, the Windows Server 2025 licence and French-speaking support under 2 hours. Compare total cost for your workload.
No. Hetzner operates datacenters in Germany (Falkenstein, Nuremberg), Finland (Helsinki), the USA and Singapore, but none in France. If your data must stay on French territory, OnetSolutions hosts exclusively in France, in an ISO 27001-certified datacenter.
Germany and Finland are in the EU: Hetzner is GDPR-compliant. What changes with a French host is simplicity: a processor under French law, data on national territory, a French-speaking contact for your records and audits, and a clear argument for your customers or a public tender.
Order an equal or larger VPS: it is delivered in 10 seconds. Then transfer your files and databases over rsync or SSH, test on the new IP, then switch DNS and delete the Hetzner server. Our support assists you at every step.
No, if you proceed in order: your Hetzner server keeps responding while you copy and validate everything on the new VPS. The only visible transition is the DNS change, almost instant if you lower the TTL in advance.
Yes, 7 days a week, with a reply under 2 hours. Your requests are handled by French-speaking technicians who have access to your infrastructure. At Hetzner, support is by ticket in English or German.
Yes: no monthly quota and no overage billing, versus 20 TB per month included at Hetzner in Europe. Bandwidth is 150 to 300 Mbps on General Purpose and 500 Mbps on Performance.
Yes: Windows Server 2025 with the licence included in the price from GP-4. Hetzner Cloud offers no official Windows image: you must mount an ISO and bring your own licence.
Order monthly with no commitment, migrate at your pace with our team, and keep your Hetzner server until everything is validated. The first ticket a human answers in French in under 2 hours is often what decides it.
