Hetzner price increases by 20-30 % - other hosting providers soon to follow
-
Here's the impact it's having on me:
Product previous price New price as of 1 April 2026
CPX11 (FSN1) € 3.85 € 5.49
CX22 (HEL1) € 3.29 € 4.49
AX41-NVMe (HEL1) € 35.60 € 36.70
Snapshot (per 1 GB/Month) € 0.0110 € 0.0143And also (on another account):
Product previous price New price as of 1 April 2026
CPX41 (HEL1) € 24.70 € 32.49all prices excl. vat
Seems the Cloud servers are going up a lot more than the dedicated servers. I note that the CPX41 cloud VPS server (8 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 240 GB) is now only €4.21 cheaper than my significantly more powerful AX41 dedicated server (12 CPU, 64GB RAM, 2 x 512 GB drives, but in RAID so only actually 512 GB of storage available).

@jdaviescoates now it REALLY doesn't make any sense. A dedicated server that has RESERVED memory for it is has barely any increase while cloud services with SHARED resources is charged 30% more? WTF.

As I have pointed out, I believe that this increase is purely arbitrary and is simply an opportunity to generate cash flow, maybe to expand infrastructure in other countries.
Does anyone know of any other increases by other ISPs in these days?
Yesterday was for the “gas”, today is for the RAM, tomorrow will be for other reasons...

@p44 they're playing with a double-edged sword. I see this as a win for smaller hosts and SaaS providers. CR wins again.

@humptydumpty Let’s see in next weeks what will happens...

We see server price increases for servers and storage in the region of 400-500 %, e.g. 50k instead of 10k. Think of having to replace 20 servers, you have extra costs of 800k, of you get them at all. Servers run for 3-5 years, max. That is a lot of extra costs.
This is neither arbitrary nor BS. This is currently a major crisis which will spill over in many areas and will impact inflation. Example: We have a large customer who cannot open his wind power park (gigawatts) because it needs powerful servers to run - which are not available at all. -

When you say “we see,” are you speaking as an ISP? Which region are you referring to?
Edit: In 2022, several European providers raised their prices, justifying the increase due to higher gas prices. Now that gas prices have been normalized, have they lowered their prices?
