Hetzner Online is now offering WebDAV as a new feature for backup accounts. In addition to FTP, SCP, SFTP and Samba/Cifs, WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) now provides you with a further option for accessing backup space.
As WebDAV is encrypted and runs over https, data for download can easily be accessed via https. Uploading is possible via the WebDAV Extension. If your server uses Windows as operating system, the backup account can simply be integrated as a network share.
WebDAV is available for all backup accounts and can be activated via your Robot administration interface. Backup accounts can be added when booking dedicated root and vServer models. Servers from € 41.18 come with a free 100 GB account.
Please note that backup accounts can only be accessed from within the Hetzner network. For further information on WebDAV please see our Wiki at wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/Backup/en#WebDAV

7. Did you know?
Individual price presentation and calculation
New VAT guidelines came into effect in the European Union on 1 January 2015 which newly regulate taxation within the EU Member States.
These changes oblige Hetzner Online in future to tax all products and services in the EU Member State where you as the consumer are resident. In view of the new regulations, Hetzner Online will be showing the tax rate for your country in future. Customers outside the EU are not affected.
As net prices are the same for all customers, different gross prices apply to customers from the various EU countries. For example, customers in England will be charged prices incl. 20 % VAT.
It is now possible for you to view gross prices which are country-specific on the Hetzner Online website as well as during the order process. The price is shown without VAT by default on www.hetzner.com. Select your country by clicking on the country flag to display the prices which are relevant to you.
