Cloud service provider Hetzner has refused to support Solana network activity, causing thousands of validators to go offline

According to The Block, cloud service provider Hetzner has refused to support Solana network activities, causing more than 1,000 verification nodes to go offline. The proportion of offline nodes once rose to 22%, and has now dropped to 9.2%. The Block previously reported that Hetzner has considered banning crypto node operators from its service, which has reduced the number of Ethereum nodes hosted on it from 16 percent to 12 percent. The Solana network has not been impacted or disrupted as a result.
