A leading real estate agency from Dubai migrated their entire AWS infrastructure to Hetzner and now saves €13,200 per year.
A proven 6-step process for secure migrations
We analyze your AWS infrastructure: EC2 instances, databases, storage, network and dependencies.
Mapping your AWS services to Hetzner equivalents with optimized configuration.
Building Hetzner infrastructure parallel to AWS for seamless migration.
Transfer of databases, files and configurations with minimal downtime.
DNS switching, final synchronization and gradual traffic migration.
Performance tuning, monitoring setup and ongoing support.
We have successfully migrated dozens of AWS setups to Hetzner – from startups to enterprise.
Your AWS infrastructure remains intact until successful validation. Rollback possible anytime.
Migration, managed hosting, monitoring and support from a single source – even after migration.
We use Proxmox for professional virtualization with HA cluster and live migration.
100% EU hosting in German data centers. DPA and ISO-27001 certification.
Fixed price for migration, no hidden costs. Free initial analysis.
Answers to the most important questions
Duration depends on your infrastructure complexity. Small setups (few EC2 instances) can be migrated in 1-2 weeks. Complex environments with multiple databases and services need 4-8 weeks. We create an individual timeline after the initial analysis.
For most migrations, we can reduce downtime to just a few minutes. Through parallel setup, database replication, and gradual DNS switching, we minimize outages. For critical systems, we plan the final cutover during low-traffic periods.
For every AWS managed service there are Hetzner equivalents: RDS becomes self-hosted PostgreSQL/MySQL on Proxmox, Lambda becomes Docker containers, S3 becomes Hetzner Object Storage (S3-compatible API). We take over management of these services for you.
Typical savings are 70–90%. For bandwidth-intensive workloads (e.g., 5TB+ traffic/month), up to ~98% is possible. The biggest savings come from: bandwidth costs (AWS: ~$0.09/GB, Hetzner: 20TB included) and managed service premiums. Our client EVA Real Estate reduced costs from €1,300 to €200/month (86%).
Yes, Hetzner is a German company with data centers in Germany and Finland. All data stays in the EU, no data transfer to the USA. Hetzner is ISO 27001 certified and offers DPAs for GDPR compliance.
Your AWS infrastructure remains intact throughout the entire migration. We copy data, we don't move it. Only after successful validation on Hetzner does the final cutover happen. A rollback to AWS is possible at any time.
We perform a complete dump & restore or replication-based migration. PostgreSQL and MySQL can run in parallel during migration to minimize downtime.
Lambda functions become Docker-based microservices that we run via Coolify, Nomad, or systemd services. They remain event-driven but are significantly cheaper, more transparent, and completely free of vendor lock-in.
We migrate your buckets to Hetzner Object Storage (S3-compatible API). In many cases, applications can continue working 1:1 because the S3 standard is fully supported.
We analyze CPU/RAM/IO requirements and map them to Hetzner CPX/CAX or dedicated servers. Often fewer resources are needed because Hetzner's CPU performance per vCore is higher.
AWS IAM is replaced by a combination of Hetzner Firewalls, Linux user management, VPN (WireGuard/NetBird), and optionally OpenID Connect.
Hetzner offers Private Networks, Floating IPs, and Firewalls. Things like NAT Gateways are simpler but functionally comparable. We design a secure zero-trust network model.
We migrate these PaaS services to Coolify or lightweight Docker deployments. Coolify handles build, deploy, environment variables, health checks, and SSL – with full control over the infrastructure and significantly lower costs.
Let us analyze your AWS bill and show you how much you can save with Hetzner.

"With Timo and Robin, you're not only on the safe side technically - you also get the best human support! Whether it's quick help in everyday life or complex IT solutions: the guys from WZ-IT think along with you, act quickly and speak a language you understand. The collaboration is uncomplicated, reliable and always on an equal footing. That makes IT fun - and above all: it works! Big thank you to the team! (translated) "
Timo and Robin from WZ-IT set up a RocketChat server for us - and I couldn't be more satisfied! From the initial consultation to the final implementation, everything was absolutely professional, efficient, and to my complete satisfaction. I particularly appreciate the clear communication, transparent pricing, and the comprehensive expertise that both bring to the table. Even after the setup, they take care of the maintenance, which frees up my time enormously and allows me to focus on other important areas of my business - with the good feeling that our IT is in the best hands. I can recommend WZ-IT without reservation and look forward to continuing our collaboration! (translated)
We have had very good experiences with Mr. Wevelsiep and WZ-IT. The consultation was professional, clearly understandable, and at fair prices. The team not only implemented our requirements but also thought along and proactively. Instead of just processing individual tasks, they provided us with well-founded explanations that strengthened our own understanding. WZ-IT took a lot of pressure off us with their structured approach - that was exactly what we needed and is the reason why we keep coming back. (translated)
Robin and Timo provided excellent support during our migration from AWS to Hetzner! We received truly competent advice and will gladly return to their services in the future. (translated)
WZ-IT set up our Jitsi Meet Server anew - professional, fast, and reliable. (translated)
Whether a specific IT challenge or just an idea – we look forward to the exchange. In a brief conversation, we'll evaluate together if and how your project fits with WZ-IT.
