The only thing I have always disliked about Hetzner, is their traffic game. It's a horribly lame tactic to ever list unlimited traffic (unless it actually is).
10tb is a fine allotment, they should list that, and stop trying to be deceitful.

10 Tb per month works out to a little over 30 Mbps, which for most people is effectively unlimited.
I agree that its a little misleading, but sadly most things in the hosting market are.

I think that is more an artifact of maximum transfer ability. If you offer more bandwidth than a saturated connection can transfer in a month does it matter if it's 10tb or 100tb?
It says:
"1 Gbit/s Bandwidth. If 10.000 GB is exceeded 6,90 € per TB"
if you click on "Optional features"

I have been a customer for quite a while, the only problem I have is, that they use used hard drives in their servers. If one of them fails, you can get it replaced for free but it is used one. You can get a new one but you have to pay for it
Do they have a list of datacenter locations? Particularly datacenters in Switzerland?
I can't seem to find their DC locations.

No, they've got 2 big locations in Germany, but are in Germany only...

"Hard Drives (max. 8) optional (at additional cost)" So it's €324/month with a hard disk (with a €199 setup fee).
I have a EX 4S server, with 32GB memory, 2x 3TB Hard Drives in Raid 1 and core I7. I installed VMWare ESX 5 on this machine and this is essentially my test lab on the cloud ( I am an information security engineer).
So, for the past year, I am able to host :
* Windows 2008 serverS (note the S, I have 4 of them running right now)
* a virtualized firewall (PFSENSE),
* one of the windows 2008 is my M$ Dev server (Visual Studio 2010 and 2012)
* several linux machines (backtrack, ubuntu server for zabbix, ubuntu 12.04 for all the atlassian suite),
* OpenVPN vpn server in debian
* FreeNAS machine
* Many other machines which I start and stop as I please, for testing purposes.
All this + 14 public IPV4 and a /64 public ipv6 for ONLY $109 dollars a month.
I don't have much latency issues and this machine is what has allowed me to drop my loaded desktop and work with just my rMBP because I have all the power I need for my work at just a SSH or RDP distance.
I suggest trying them out, specially the EX 5, which only costs 59 EUROS. Don't forget that if you are not in the Europe, you don't pay VAT (so it's another 19% discount)
Let me know if you have any specific questions. Too bad they don't have coupons or referrals :)
