Hetzner: Cloud API and Console down due to a fault

Since 01:29 UTC on 5 November, Hetzner's Cloud API and Hetzner Console have been unavailable. They are how customers manage cloud servers.

Hetzner’s Cloud API and Hetzner Console are unavailable. The hoster attributes it to a fault that began at 01:29 UTC on 5 November 2026 and was still listed as an active incident at the time of publication.

The Cloud API and the Console are how customers create, delete and reboot Hetzner Cloud servers: the first serves scripts and automation, the second is used in the browser.

Hetzner calls the cause simply a “fault”. The hoster says nothing about a network failure or about customers’ own servers going down.

On 4 November, KRAKOBIT reported on another hoster: Beget disclosed data loss in its cloud, affecting VPS, S3 and Kubernetes.
