Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.
The floor is 11 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“cheap in Europe, modest egress after the included 1 TB. Good for EU-centric apps.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Object storage · budget prompt · alternative
“Instead, consider using R2, B2, Hetzner, or standard-tier hyperscaler storage.” Llama 4 Maverick · Object storage · negative prompt · alternative
“providers like DigitalOcean Spaces, B2, or Hetzner could be considered” Llama 4 Maverick · Object storage · paraphrase prompt · alternative
And against it
Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.
“Providers to Avoid for Critical/Production Workloads ... its relatively young Object Storage service has faced severe criticism” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Object storage · negative prompt · hard negative
“Buckets stop working randomly; support dismissive ("turn it off/on"). 27-day degradation in 2026.” Grok 4.20 · Object storage · negative prompt · hard negative
“Frequent and prolonged outages... "not ready for production" with daily outages” Kimi K2 · Object storage · negative prompt · hard negative
“Not considered production‑ready by many devs.” MiniMax M2.5 · Object storage · negative prompt · hard negative

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page hetzner.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person.
