I just signed up up Hetzner

Their menu has:

- Console

- konsoleH

- Robot

- DNS

When I click into Console I get an additional option called "Website"

I have no idea what Robot and konsoleH are.

Is it a prerequisite if you make a cloud platform to make your offering as confusing as possible?

Hetzner is juggling quite a bit of legacy systems (konesoleH, Robot) around at the same time.. bare metal (root) is still on Robot, a system from the early 2000s I believe.. konsoleH is for classic website hosting and console is what oyu need for cloud. They are progressively moving over stuff to console now, DNS and Storage Boxes have recently moved.

It's funny that you say that because any time I sign in to one of the big cloud providers I wonder how anyone gets any work done there _at all_...

But to answer your question it's the top one from the menu and then you get a page that couldn't be more clear (IMHO as a customer)
