Hetzner Business Account

Is your growing business outgrowing its hosting solution? Are you juggling multiple cloud services with complicated billing and inconsistent performance? For startups, SMBs, and enterprises seeking a robust, scalable, and cost-effective IT foundation, the answer lies in a solution built for your needs: the Hetzner Business Account.

More than just a standard user account, a Hetzner Business Account is a dedicated portal designed to empower organizations. It provides the tools, control, and support necessary to manage mission-critical infrastructure efficiently. Let’s explore why a Hetzner Business Account should be at the core of your digital strategy.

What is a Hetzner Business Account?

A Hetzner Business Account is a specialized account tier offered by the German cloud and dedicated server provider, Hetzner Online GmbH. It’s tailored for companies, freelancers, and organizations (like NGOs or public entities) that require professional-grade hosting services. This account type unlocks administrative features, volume pricing, and payment methods that are not available with personal accounts, making it the ideal choice for any commercial or organizational use.

Key Benefits of a Hetzner Business Account for Your Company

Switching to or starting with a Business Account transforms how you interact with your hosting infrastructure.

1. Centralized Billing and Payment Flexibility

Simplify your finance department’s workload. A Business Account consolidates all services (dedicated servers, cloud instances, storage, etc.) into a single, clear invoice. More importantly, it unlocks essential payment methods like SEPA direct debit and invoice-based billing, improving cash flow management. Say goodbye to individual credit card charges for every project.

2. Streamlined User and Access Management (IAM)

Security and collaboration are paramount. The Business Account includes an Identity and Access Management (IAM) system. This allows you to create individual user accounts for team members (e.g., developers, sysadmins, accountants) and assign precise permissions. You can control who can order new servers, who can only manage existing ones, and who just needs access to billing information.

3. Exclusive Access to Dedicated Root Servers

While Hetzner’s cloud products are excellent, many businesses require the raw, uncompromising power and isolation of dedicated hardware. A verified Hetzner Business Account is required to rent these high-performance dedicated root servers. This includes their powerful AX and EX lines, perfect for databases, high-traffic applications, and virtualized environments.

4. Volume Discounts and Cost Efficiency

As your business scales, your costs should become more efficient. Hetzner offers attractive volume discounts for businesses that commit to larger resources. A Business Account makes you eligible for these savings, ensuring that your hosting remains incredibly cost-effective as you grow, a key advantage over often-expensive hyperscalers.

5. Professional Support and Account Management

With a Business Account, you signal that you are a professional user. This can facilitate smoother communication and support. For large enough commitments, it can also open the door to more personalized support options.

Who is a Hetzner Business Account For?

• Startups & Scale-ups: Needing a scalable, affordable cloud to fuel rapid growth.

• SMEs & Enterprises: Looking to migrate workloads to powerful dedicated servers or a reliable private cloud.

• Digital Agencies & IT Departments: Managing multiple client projects or internal apps with a need for precise access control.

• Developers & DevOps Teams: Who require API access, automation, and high-performance infrastructure for testing and production.

• Educational Institutions & NGOs: That need reliable hosting with transparent billing for their digital presence and operations.

How to Set Up Your Hetzner Business Account

Getting started is straightforward:

1. Sign Up: Begin by creating a standard account in the Hetzner Robot or Cloud Console.

2. Verify Your Business: To convert your account into a Business Account, you will need to verify your business identity. This typically involves providing a business registration document (e.g., from Companies House, Handelsregister).

3. Activate Payment Methods: Once verified, you can activate SEPA Direct Debit or invoice billing in the account settings.

4. Start Building: Begin deploying cloud servers, renting dedicated infrastructure, and inviting your team members with customized permissions.
