>>1558333Any provider can ban you for random reasons. Hetzner is just one of the most popular providers, hence why you hear a lot of stories about them in particular. They also follow EU sanctions, so if you're from Iran or Russia without a EU residence permit then yeah you'll get banned. They also warn you if you torrent not to pirate stuff, but so far they haven't banned my seedbox where I'm absolutely pirating stuff (uncommon stuff though).
Either way, make backups, no matter what you use. Ideally also a script to set up your system on a freshly created VPS, but for a beginner this is gonna be a bit too much so don't bother yet. But as long as you don't host anything overtly illegal and don't leave your server open for abuse by bot networks (e.g. an open email-sending server), you are very, very unlikely to get banned.
