yes, that's frustrating, but they would have to list both current and future prices or make some a list of changes instead of just updating the actual price when they go current

#4While the pricing is interesting, I think the fact it is driven by the input costs of electricity is even more telling.
The fact that electricity costs is the dominating (edit, correction: marginal) cost of cloud computing basically means that:
1) We're up against physical barriers to lowering the cost (and ecological impact) of our clouds.
2) Optimizing for less compute will pay multi-fold dividends over the next few years where we can expect energy prices to continue rising.
3) Building more power-efficient chips is a big deal, and I'm glad to see more general ARM deployment, given their efficiency gains.

At least they're not changing pricing for already provisioned products until 31st December.

#6Love Hetzner great to see a hosting company thats being upfront and transparent about its prices.
So tired of hosting companies doing dodgy stuff with their pricing like giving you the first month 99% off but wording it like you will pay that month to month.

#7Interesting that the colo electricity cost goes up that much, that’s a lot more expensive than what I will pay as a normal consumer, I’d have thought they’d get better discounts.

To be fair, Hetzner is notorious for pushing down prices for everything as far down as they can by any means necessary. So this most likely makes their price point more sensitive than many other providers to any cost increase. Here is a great walk-through of one of their data centres [1] and you will see how streamlined everything is down to the hardware components. Nearly nothing goes to waste.

#9 Germany € 0.29/kWh € 0.45/kWh
Finland € 0.12/kWh € 0.22/kWh
I doubt Germans have twice the purchasing power as Finns.

I'd guess that they used to have very good discounted contracts but are not able to renew them anymore.
The cost they charge also includes the cooling, so you could see it as for example 30c/kWh for power, 15c/kWh for cooling to compare it to a consumer contract. Maybe they have published their ratio of that split "on average" before.
