Love 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.

AWS has never raised prices on me.

Interesting 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.

There's a more than probable markup for redundancy and management.

Anyway, I believe industrial power billing is quite a trip (at least in Spain), and probably have a miriad of different prices depending on the hour of the day, and different guarantees of delivery compared to a regular user.

Really annoying that they're not publishing the new prices now, we have to wait until 1st September.

They are publishing the prices now, just not in the main pricing page until the prices are current:

  The new prices for the colocation electricity/air conditioning rates are:
  electricity/air conditioning rate  old price\*  new price\*
  Germany  € 0.29/kWh  € 0.45/kWh
  Finland  € 0.12/kWh  € 0.22/kWh
  
  \*These prices do not include VAT.

Don't worry they will. At least in Germany :-)

Electricity pricing is insane and will only get worse. I doubt AWS will operate a whole region at a loss.

But those are only the rates for collocation. The other server products (rented dedicated servers, VPS, etc) will become more expensive, too. Those prices are not yet announced, are they? (except the rough estimate of 10%)

Dunno about you, but that tells me something about their profit margins.

They had boutique prices (think 10x Hetzner price) to begin with. And cost control is notoriously difficult.
