Hetzner Migration · Cardiff
Hetzner Migration in Cardiff
Migrating Cardiff workloads to Hetzner, where capacity stops being something you summon. Dedicated servers are ordered and provisioned rather than started in seconds, and specific configurations are not always available — so an architecture that assumed elastic scaling needs rethinking before anything moves.
Why this comes up
The problem
The current design scales instances up during busy periods, and the destination cannot provision on demand.
What you get
What we deliver
- Peak capacity planned for in advance, since machines cannot be conjured at short notice
- Cloud instances used alongside dedicated hardware where elasticity genuinely matters
- Provisioning lead times established before the cutover date is agreed
- Managed services replaced with self-run equivalents, including the database
- Data protection position confirmed, as the datacentres are in mainland Europe
- Operational responsibility assigned, because support covers hardware rather than your workload

Working in Cardiff
Wales
Cardiff has a significant broadcast and media sector alongside a large public-sector presence, and Welsh-language provision is a genuine requirement on public-facing work here rather than a nice-to-have.
Public sector and broadcast work is common, and bilingual provision is usually a requirement rather than an option.

Hetzner Migration in Cardiff — common questions
- How quickly can we get another server?
- Not in seconds. Dedicated machines involve ordering and provisioning, and particular configurations can be unavailable, so capacity has to be planned rather than requested — which is a genuine change for teams used to scaling by adjusting a number.
- Can we combine both models?
- Frequently the sensible answer. Steady baseline load on dedicated hardware with cloud instances for peaks captures most of the saving while keeping elasticity where it earns its price, and it avoids designing the whole estate around the rarest hour.
- What does support actually cover?
- The hardware and the network. If a disk fails they will replace it; if your application stops working that is entirely yours — which is reasonable at the price and quite different from providers whose support engages with the workload itself.
- Does the location matter for us?
- It is worth confirming against your obligations. The datacentres are in Germany and Finland, which suits many UK organisations perfectly well and conflicts with contracts specifying UK-only storage — a question for whoever handles your data protection position rather than an assumption.
- Do you work with businesses across Cardiff?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Wales, including Cardiff and the surrounding Cardiff area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Cardiff businesses do you usually work with?
- Public sector and broadcast work is common, and bilingual provision is usually a requirement rather than an option. Beyond that we work across Media & Broadcasting, Financial Services, Public Sector, Higher Education and Sport.
- Do you cover the areas around Cardiff?
- Yes — we work throughout Wales, including Bristol, Swansea. Cardiff is an urban area of roughly 490,000+, and we take on work across the wider Cardiff region rather than the city boundary alone.
