I was hosting on a PC at home like 10 years ago. The problem was that when I wanted to go to sleep, it was just too noisy. Even if the box was running in a different room. It was a…

If you run it on your own bill, I'd love to hear your number (see Discussions tab) and your biggest cloud-cost pain in the thread - and a star helps me gauge whether it's worth con…

The last pricing change was for Cloud and it affected everything, ie. newly ordered and already acquired. The way it's written in the annoucement, this will be applicable only to n…

What is interesting is the timeline. The last update in pricing was only fourth months ago. I received the following email on the 24. of February 2026. The reasoning is the same va…

It's about Hetzner Cloud, not bare metal, but I think it shows the direction. On February I received this email. This mail is to inform you about an unfortunate, but necessary pric…

We have the same problems in Europe. We started using Hetzner Cloud heavily about a year ago migrating our bare metal infra to around 200 Hetzner Cloud machines. We were doing it g…

Interesting, but are we there yet? Where I live and work people get 'attribution' from the managerial staff by showing more spending on anthropic graph. Our founder had a hard time…
