A significant part of this is probably just the hockey-stick growth in the price of memory we have seen in the past 6 months. Would be surprised if this wasn't impacting their bottom line for maintenance.
There is another factor at play here: EU hosting providers that are not owned lock, stock & barrel are few and far between and Hetzner has a very nice sales representative in the White House.
Server auction didn't change at all, the lowest price server is still around 33€.
Also a symptom of how inelastic hardware demands are. You would expect the purest k8s people to just shove workers on older machines and completely dodge this crisis, but we don't see that at all. Despite being an almost-commodity, many of the hw vendors still have a decent hand.

> Well first of all, the CHIPS Act was not "axed", it is federal law passed by an overwhelming bipartisan majority of the House and Senate. It would take a complete reversal of congress to repeal it and it's still very popular among both parties. DOGE cut basically all staff from the CHIPS Program Office, congress passed the money but Trump is choosing to turn it into a slush-fund the admin spends on industrial polic…
Once again, where do you get your information from? The only thing that doesn't exist anymore is DOGE itself. https://wtop.com/government/2025/11/doge-quietly-disbands-8-...

Pretty sure they are implying that the actions of the current president/administration are causing people to re-evaluate US dependencies. I don't really understand the first half
1. There's no meaningful European competition. 2. Trump is making everyone scared to use US hosting. So they're leveraging for extra profits.
"No meaningful European competition" might be a bit too strong. There are many great EU hosters. OVH, Netcup, Scaleway, Strato, Ionos, Exoscale, to name a few. But Hetzner is probably the biggest and has the best name recognition. Doesn't hurt that their prices are among the best in the industry

> Note: All "Server Auction" servers have a 3% price increase across the board. Mine went from 36.30 EUR to 37.39 EUR, according to the e-mail that I got. I'm actually very thankful that the Server Auction exists and lets some hardware be used like that, instead of becoming e-waste or something. For what I get, those prices are more than reasonable. I feel a bit bad about the other prices that saw a way bigger of a h…
The post seems to indicate this is just for VPSs, which doesn't seem true, the email I just received from Hetzner mentions price increases for dedicated servers too. The ones I'm affected by seemingly: Product -> previous price -> New price as of 1 April 2026 EX42-NVMe (FSN1) -> € 49.65 -> € 51.13 AX41 (FSN1) -> € 49.73 -> € 51.22 AX41-NVMe (FSN1) -> € 49.73 -> € 51.18 Server Auction -> € 65.22 -> € 67.18 Still cheap…
