THE KOAHOST ALTERNATIVE

KoaHost vs
Hetzner

Crypto, snapshots and IPv4 in your configuration.

At Hetzner Cloud, snapshots and IPv4 are billed separately, and cryptocurrencies are not accepted. KoaHost offers a crypto catalogue with IPv4 and snapshots advertised as included on its VPS and RDP.

WHY SWITCH TO KOAHOST

A choice you can stand behind.
Beyond the spec sheet.

01 / THE KOAHOST ADVANTAGE

Choose a server without leaving your crypto budget

For a project funded in cryptocurrencies, the payment method is part of the hosting choice. KoaHost presents Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin, Solana and three options based on USDT or USDC, with the network indicated for the order. Hetzner explicitly excludes cryptocurrencies from its accepted payment methods. The KoaHost advantage is therefore concrete for this audience: prepare a configuration in a catalogue designed around these assets, with its duration and total. This is not a promise of anonymous transactions: the benefit lies in the choice of payment and in an account limited to the essentials.

02 / THE KOAHOST ADVANTAGE

Include the ability to roll back

A snapshot meets the need to preserve a disk state before a major change. KoaHost advertises it in the inclusions of its VPS and RDP ranges, whereas Hetzner Cloud bills snapshot storage according to volume and duration. For an environment you modify regularly, this difference matters when reading the configuration: the feature is part of the KoaHost offer rather than a separate storage line. The exact retention and restoration terms remain to be confirmed for the chosen service. An independent backup remains necessary to protect data beyond this disk state.

03 / THE KOAHOST ADVANTAGE

Read the cost of a machine reachable over IPv4

A public application often needs to remain accessible to users who still depend on IPv4. KoaHost lists IPv4 and IPv6 in the inclusions of its configurations. Hetzner Cloud separates the Primary IPv4 from the server on the invoice, whereas its Primary IPv6 is free. This grouping makes it easier to choose a KoaHost server when you need a public address from the start. You can examine the resources, throughput and period together, without forgetting a separate IPv4 option. This does not mean the total will always be lower: the benefit is clearly identifying what the configuration under review includes.

OUR CONVICTION

Why choose us
over Hetzner.

KoaHost is particularly relevant if you want a clear configuration with IPv4 and snapshots advertised as included, while preparing your order in crypto. These differences concern the elements of the offer, not a promise of a lower price or higher performance than any Hetzner configuration.

CONCRETE EXAMPLES

Three projects.
Three reasons to choose KoaHost.

Projects for which the strengths of KoaHost compared with Hetzner make perfect sense.

01

An application funded from your wallet

You are preparing a personal tool and already hold its budget in BTC, ETH or SOL. The KoaHost catalogue lets you combine this payment choice with that of the server. This is a decisive criterion compared with a host that excludes cryptocurrencies, without changing your application's security requirements.

02

A test environment you modify often

Before a system update or a database change, you want to plan a recovery point. The snapshots advertised as included on VPS and RDP make this need visible in the KoaHost configuration. Specify the expected retention and also keep an independent export of your data.

03

A small public service reachable over IPv4

Your API or your site must respond to clients that use IPv4. The address is part of the KoaHost inclusions, with IPv6. This presentation helps compare a complete configuration rather than the calculation alone, especially when the project budget is prepared for several months.

PREPARING YOUR MOVE

From Hetzner to KoaHost.
A move that takes preparation.

  1. Inventory the resources around the VM

    Note the server, its Primary IPv4, its volumes and the snapshots retained. Distinguish the data needed by the application from the resources specific to the Hetzner account. This inventory makes it possible to prepare a target configuration without forgetting a dependency or a storage cost that is still present.

  2. Prepare an export you control

    Export the databases, files and application settings in reusable formats. A Hetzner snapshot is not a guarantee of booting on another platform. Plan a rebuild of the target system, then a tested restoration, with an independent copy kept during the transition.

  3. Choose the family and verify recovery

    Select VPS Linux, RDP or dedicated depending on your software. For Windows, check the edition and the required rights. Confirm recovery access and the terms of the advertised snapshots before relying on them for an important application or a system change.

  4. Plan the switchover after testing

    Validate the application on the available destination before any DNS change. Prepare the return to the old instance and synchronise the latest writes. Only consider closing the Hetzner resources after acceptance, taking into account the IPs and snapshots that may continue to be billed separately.

YOUR QUESTIONS

Moving from Hetzner
to KoaHost.

What elements are included in a KoaHost configuration?

The catalogue brings together CPU, RAM and NVMe with IPv4, IPv6 and DDoS mitigation. VPS and RDP also include snapshots. This is the benefit compared with Hetzner Cloud: there, the IPv4 and snapshot storage are billed separately.

Which cryptocurrencies can I choose at KoaHost?

The catalogue offers BTC, ETH, LTC and SOL, USDT on Ethereum or TRON, and USDC on Ethereum. The asset and its network are chosen for the order. Hetzner states that it does not accept cryptocurrencies. Monero is not part of the KoaHost catalogue.

How do I prepare the transfer of my Hetzner server?

Export your application, its database and its files, then keep an independent backup. Prepare a suitable KoaHost configuration and test the restoration once your target environment is available. A snapshot specific to Hetzner is not in itself a portable image between hosts.

How do I compare the budget with the necessary options?

Start from the resources you need, then add the addresses, snapshots, licences and other options of the product being compared. KoaHost shows its monthly or annual total in the configurator. The annual discount of 30 % is calculated against twelve monthly payments of KoaHost.
