Hetzner alternativehosted in France

Hetzner remains one of the cheapest VPS in Europe, even after the 15 June 2026 price increase. But it has no datacenters in France, its support works by ticket in English or German, and backups and snapshots are billed separately. OnetSolutions hosts in France, with 24/7 French-speaking support and a snapshot included; daily backups are an option. Here is the line-by-line comparison.

Why choose an OnetSolutions VPS server

Recent hardware, a fast network and your data protected.

Intel Xeon processors

The General Purpose range runs on Intel Xeon processors with DDR4 memory, on NVMe or SSD storage. Need more? The Performance and High Performance ranges move to AMD EPYC.

Up to 300 Mbps

150 to 300 Mbps depending on the plan, and unlimited traffic. The Performance and High Performance ranges go up to 1 Gbps.

OnetSolutions API

Create, start and monitor your servers through the API, from your scripts, your CI or your AI assistants. Read the documentation

Backups and snapshots

Daily backups stored in datacenters over 100 km away, optional from €0.99 excl. VAT/month, and a first snapshot included to roll back.

The verdict in 30 seconds

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, 24/7 French-speaking support provided by technicians, snapshots included where Hetzner bills them per GB, optional daily off-site backups (€1.99 excl. VAT/month on GP-4), unlimited traffic with no quota, and Windows Server 2025 with the licence as an option from €5.80 excl. VAT/month.

In practice: French company with data-location requirements, team without fluent technical English, daily backups you can enable in one click — OnetSolutions. Personal or technical project, minimal budget, comfortable with ticket support in English and Germany as a location — Hetzner remains an excellent choice.

Why Hetzner customers move to OnetSolutions

The reasons that come up in the migration requests we handle, without embellishment.

  • Data in France, not Germany

    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.

  • French-speaking technicians, 24/7

    Hetzner support works by ticket, in English or German. Here, 24/7 French-speaking support is included with every VPS.

  • Snapshots included, backups at a fixed price

    Hetzner bills automated backups at 20% of the server price and snapshots per GB. At OnetSolutions, one-click snapshots are included and the daily off-site backup is a fixed-price option: €0.99 excl. VAT/month on GP-2, €1.99 on GP-4, €2.99 on GP-8 and €4.99 on GP-16 and GP-32.

  • Unlimited traffic

    No 20 TB quota and no overage billing: your file server, mirror or game server never produces a surprise at month end.

  • Windows Server ready to use

    Windows Server 2025 ready to use from GP-4, licence as an option (€5.80 excl. VAT/month on GP-4, €9.20 on GP-8, €17.60 on GP-16 and €33.60 on GP-32), where Hetzner Cloud offers no official Windows image and leaves you to install and license it yourself.

  • Assisted migration

    Our teams guide 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.

When Hetzner remains the better choice

An honest comparison also says when to stay. In these situations, we advise you not to migrate.

  • Price is your only criterion

    At equivalent size, Hetzner remains cheaper, especially above 8 GB. If you use neither support nor snapshots, the gap is not offset.

  • Location does not matter to you

    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.

  • You want presence outside Europe

    Hetzner offers Ashburn, Hillsboro and Singapore. OnetSolutions hosts only in France.

  • You are comfortable fully self-serve

    Ticket support in English, excellent documentation, mature API and Terraform provider: if you never open a ticket, included support brings you nothing.

Migrate a Hetzner server to OnetSolutions in 4 steps

A well-run migration is invisible: you switch once everything is validated, and your Hetzner server stays in place until the last moment.

  1. 01

    Order your OnetSolutions VPS

    Pick the plan recommended in the table above and your operating system: the machine is delivered in 10 seconds with its dedicated IP.

  2. 02

    Transfer your data

    Copy sites, databases and files over SSH or rsync from your Hetzner server. Our teams walk you through it step by step if you wish.

  3. 03

    Validate on the new machine

    Test your applications on the OnetSolutions VPS IP before any switch: your Hetzner server keeps serving visitors in the meantime.

  4. 04

    Switch DNS, then delete the server

    Lower the TTL, point your domains to the new IP, verify, then delete the Hetzner server: hourly billing stops immediately.

Contact support
Is OnetSolutions cheaper than Hetzner for a VPS?

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 snapshots, unlimited traffic and 24/7 French-speaking support; daily off-site backups and the Windows Server 2025 licence are options. Compare total cost for your workload.

Does Hetzner host data in France?

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 datacenters.

Is a VPS hosted in France simpler for GDPR?

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.

How do I migrate my Hetzner server to OnetSolutions?

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.

Will the migration take my site or application down?

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.

Is support really in French?

Yes: 24/7 French-speaking support. Your requests are handled by French-speaking technicians who have access to your infrastructure. At Hetzner, support is by ticket in English or German.

Is traffic really unlimited?

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 1 Gbps on Performance and High Performance.

Is Windows Server available?

Yes, from GP-4, with the licence as an option: €5.80 excl. VAT/month on GP-4, €9.20 on GP-8, €17.60 on GP-16 and €33.60 on GP-32. Hetzner Cloud offers no official Windows image: you must mount an ISO and bring your own licence.

Ready to bring your data back to France?

Order monthly with no commitment, migrate at your pace with our teams, and keep your Hetzner server until everything is validated. The first ticket handled in French by a technician is often what decides it.
