Hetzner Prices increase 30-40%

> There have been drastic price increases in various areas in the IT branch recently. That is why, unfortunately, we must also increase the prices of our products.

> The costs to operate our infrastructure and to buy new hardware have both increased dramatically. Therefore, our price changes will affect both existing products and new orders and will take effect starting on 1 April 2026.

> We have genuinely tried hard to optimize our costs and to prevent increasing our prices for as long as possible. But we can no longer compensate for the strain that it has placed on our operations. We want to continue to deliver quality products that meet both our standards and your expectations, so we must take this step.

with no explanation of why?

Presumably cost of hardware has increased due to ram and disk shortages, and they have to pass that on at some point.

I couldn't find any changes on their keyturn stuff with the 'Webhosting' products?

Is the price hike only on Hetzner's offer for dedicated or VPS servers?

I assume this is a symptom of the wider ai hardware issue.

This is starting to feel a bit like universal paperclips to me, and we are on the verge of the next stage of industrialisation multiplication.

I guess its either quantum computing or the hypnodrones which will get us out of this mess one way or another...
