They have German and Finnish data centers, as well as American. Pricing is pretty competitive, and unlike anything super autoscalable in AWS, it's predictable.

They offer an email service that comes with their basic webhosting service, which is a bundle that costs less for 100 inboxes than Google Suite or Proton for just one user, if all you need is email.

I have a question... Currently, I am running a personal email server on a FreeBSD VPS hosted at Kamatera (a company from Israel, of all places). I do consider switching to the cheapest Hetzner cloud VPS plan, but I need to be sure that the following requirements are met:

The IPv4 address shouldn't be on any major blacklist
I must be able to get reverse DNS for my domain
If possible, I'd like to run FreeBSD on my VPS

Can Hetzner provide this?

I believe they do. People do run mailservers on Hetzner, they even have a Mailcow setup guide.

They no longer provide FreeBSD images but there's a workaround here that might work for a VPS as I believe their KVM console is for dedicated servers only but I can't immediately verify that.

I'm running email services on their VPS too. They block tcp/25 by default to every VPS, so you need to request opening of the port, but at least for me it wasn't any problem and I can well understand why they do that.

My server with email (from which I'm posting this) is hosted by Hetzner. I have reverse DNS, full control over the DNS entries, nothing seems to be on any block lists.

I don't know if they provide BSD images but you can boot every server into a rescue Linux from which you should be able to download whatever you need.
