It is interesting to see comments expressing extreme concerns about US employees being able to access Hetzner servers, but then I'd wager: 1) they're probably using Google/US services at their companies with almost a gaurantee 2) Germany has ties with US for surveillance 3) Hetzner uses US servers (Intel, AMD, Micron) and a whole bunch of other components in their servers. Or worse, Chinese components.
I guess I fail to see the logic in all of this, appears to be uninformed security theatrics.
I think it's just about latency. If most of your users/employees are located in NA, it doesn't make much sense to give them degraded network experience to save few Euros on hosting costs.
