Go from zero to production on Hetzner VPS

The only guide you need. Skip the 10+ hours of troubleshooting and get a fully configured server with Coolify, Mailcow, and enterprise-grade security.

Why this exists

We spent 2 days and 8+ hours building a production Hetzner server from scratch. SSH lockdowns, Docker, Coolify, a full Mailcow email stack, SSL, firewalls, DNS — everything. The biggest challenge? A port conflict between Coolify and Mailcow that isn't documented anywhere. We solved it, documented every step, and packaged it so you don't have to.

8 vCPUs, 16GB RAM

$22/month

Hetzner's CPX42 gives you more power than a $100/month VPS elsewhere. AMD EPYC Genoa, 320GB NVMe SSD, 20TB bandwidth.

Self-Hosted Everything

$0 in software

Coolify replaces Vercel. Mailcow replaces your email provider. Let's Encrypt replaces paid SSL. Total: ~$26/month for everything.

Production-Grade Security

Enterprise hardening

SSH key-only auth on a non-standard port, UFW firewall, fail2ban, SPF/DKIM/DMARC email auth. The works.

Frequently asked questions

What is Hetzner Cloud?
Hetzner Cloud is a German-based cloud hosting provider offering powerful VPS servers at significantly lower prices than AWS, DigitalOcean, or Linode. Their CPX42 plan gives you 8 vCPUs, 16GB RAM, and 320GB NVMe SSD for about $22/month.
Why not just use Vercel or Railway?
Managed platforms are great for getting started, but costs escalate quickly. A single Hetzner VPS can host dozens of sites with Coolify for a flat ~$26/month — including email hosting with Mailcow. No per-seat pricing, no bandwidth surprises.
What's included in the Done-For-You Setup?
We remotely access your Hetzner VPS and configure everything: SSH hardening, firewall, Docker, Coolify (self-hosted deployment platform), Mailcow (email server), SSL certificates, DNS, and monitoring. You get a production-ready server within 48 hours.
What cryptocurrencies do you accept?
We accept Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), USDC, Solana (SOL), and Litecoin (LTC) through NOWPayments. Payments are processed automatically — no manual verification needed.
How long does the setup take?
The guide is delivered instantly after payment. Done-For-You Setup is completed within 48 hours of receiving your server details. Premium package includes both plus a scheduled consulting session.
Do I need Linux experience?
For the guide, basic familiarity with the terminal helps but isn't required — every command is copy-paste ready. For the Done-For-You Setup, you don't need any technical experience at all.
What OS do you recommend?
We recommend Ubuntu 24.04 LTS for its stability, long-term support, and broad compatibility with Docker and Coolify. The guide covers Ubuntu specifically.
Can I get a refund?
Due to the nature of digital products and crypto payments, we don't offer refunds on the guide. For Done-For-You Setup, if we're unable to complete the configuration, you'll receive a full refund.
