I have seen both this words, Hersteller and Ersteller and they seem to mean the same. Which seems kinda weird because they are so similarly written, that often I think it is just a typo.
Is there any special difference between one and the other?

1I'm convinced that h-misspellings happen only in Spanish ;) In German nobody would do that, for h sounds.– c.p.Commented May 16, 2018 at 14:43

Hersteller: widely used, means typically the manufacturer of an industrial product (car, elevator, refrigerator ...)
Ersteller: rarely used, can mean author, e. g. of a bug report

Oh well, I guess then it makes sense (I am a programmer) Commented May 16, 2018 at 12:21
You can really translate them one to one:
Hersteller: manufacturer / producer
Ersteller: originator / creator
