For alternative European providers, I recommend OVH. Some euros pricier, but good.

#572Surely that means that as soon as prices of ram drop, Hetzner will also drop the prices, right? RIGHT?
At best they would freeze prices for a few years which would be a real term decrease
Would have to be quite a few years - last time price bump was in 2022 by 10% due to increase in energy costs because of the war in Ukraine. Naturally prices didn't go down.

If your only complaint with Hetzner is the price hike, though, it makes no sense to migrate to a more expensive vendor.

I have received awful, slow, inaccurate support from ovh. Avoid.

#577Earlier quoted context omitted.
Why tax something that the market will figure out? This is normal and things will sort themself out.
People keep parroting this but I don't see GPU prices sorting themselves out.
“Parroting” is not very constructive language but I will respond.
How would you propose solving it? My opinion is that government cannot solve the problem better than the market. That’s not to say the market is ideal or perfect but one of the better tools available. GPU prices might stay high for a number of years. I don’t think that is inherently bad. Constraints breed innovation and help guide market participants into the right direction.
I think folks often get hung up on the market thinking it’s a perfect tool or it will realign issues instantly. That’s not true. Demand is high, price catches up and eventually either that thesis behind the demand is correct and eventually supply increases or that thesis is proven wrong and demand collapses below original baseline.
Obviously that’s a simplified version of it above but I don’t know what folks like yourself are poking. How is a tax on hyperscalers effective? I suspect most folks repeat this idea because they are in the anti-AI camp. Should we tax EV manufacturers because they may be buying up battery supply? I don’t know if I want the government making those kind of decisions.

OVH also increased their pricing significantly.

#580The 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…
I'm not particularly tied to Hetzner as an American using their Ashburn servers, so I figured maybe this price increase puts them a little closer to DigitalOcean's pricing. The pricing is still pretty heavily in Hetzner's favor though: the CCX23s that I use will be $39.99 USD after April 1, but the closest DO equivalent is $126 USD with a third of the disk space.
> puts them a little closer to DigitalOcean's pricing
DigitalOcean has been losing out to hardware inflation for a long time. Most of their fleet is very old except maybe the very top tier and that's still old.
They're really overdue for a refresh but now the hardware is so expensive.
