As a customer, I am OK with most increases but not the object storage one. This one has some quality issues and is no longer competitive in price either. I'm thinking of moving S3 part to OVH.

OVH are putting up prices in the same way, with the same reasoning. (I don't know about storage, but VPS stuff I'm using is going up ~20%.)

Used to be every VPS refresh cycle you'd get more server for less money. This is miserable

>All it'll take is one company to go bust, oracle for example, for the whole thing to deflate Provided that of course, the US administration will be incorruptible enough to not bail out these tech companies with taxpayer money when they do eventually fail. But when you see the connection between Larry Ellison and Trump, you realize the whole "free market competition" is a scam for suckers. Always has been, just that…

> Provided that of course, the US administration will be incorruptible enough to not bail out these tech companies with taxpayer money when they do eventually fail. I'd love them to try that because virtually no one on any part of the political spectrum would get behind that besides the most corrupted and soulless ghouls masquerading as politicians

I dunno between following the party king and "we must bail them out to avoid total economic collapse" (real or imagined), I wouldn't be betting against bailouts.

There's no mention of RAM upgrades. If we bought RAM already at the old prices, are they being increased as well? The current pricing for RAM has more than quadrupled since January.

Hi there, To the best of my knowledge, anyone with *existing* RAM *add-ons* that were affected by price changes should have received a separate email. Please carefully check your email inbox/trash/spam. The general price changes we announced today will affect both new and existing products, like dedicated servers and cloud servers: https://docs.hetzner.com/general/infrastructure-and-availabi... Those prices will take effect on 1 April 2026. --Katie

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?

Hi there, we prepared a list here of affected products: https://docs.hetzner.com/general/infrastructure-and-availabi... --Katie

Why are they increasing the prices on already existing infrastructure? Is that a way to "subsidize" the new purchases?

Hetzner mostly ate up the rising energy prices in germany for the last 3 years and they have big problems with their hardware supply since then. It is hard to get cloud instances in nbg and fsn. So an increase in pricing is very much expected from my side.

China doesn't have enough to supply itself.

Neither does anyone else. Key difference being they planned for this 5 years ago instead of last quarter

Planned doesn’t mean achievable. The yields are still low.

A hosting company referring to the core of their business as "the IT branch" doesn't instil confidence.

I guess it's just a bad translation and means IT sector. German word: "IT-Branche"

Hi there, That's actually my bad. I'm a native speaker, but I've lived in Germany too long apparently. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. --Katie

It always bursts when demand stops. Current demand is artificially pumped up and financially unsustainable aka a bubble,

The free demand is increasing. With price increases hitting the cloud, will there still be demand?
