Very nice.
@MikePT when did you get that mail? so far I haven't seen or received that - yet I do have a few CPX11 ...
Nah. Hetzner is still good.
The price increase was coming.
If you're not a business customer, the price increase (except the setup) can be okay-ish. As business customer with 1000+ IPs, one has to re-evaluate the whole business-model when you're with hetzner.
So no, Hetzners pricing is not good anymore. What made Hetzner stand out were the extreme good prices, now those are gone and the "bad" network (routing, no /48s etc) still exists. So ... its time to move on again.
Sure, keep on moving.
I didn't get that mail yet... however, @MikePT left out the more interesting part:
OVH next.
Yeah, and I am eagerly waiting for deadpool drama.
This place has been way too quiet as of late.
For the low end "provider" this might be the end for 2/3 euro/dollar VPS in the Hetzner network.
IP adresses go for about 45 dollar / Ip address for a /24. No wonder Hetzner has to increase their prices..
Not like OVH has ever just decided on a whim to stop the one-time fees in the past and start charging everyone on a new monthly structure regardless of any existing deal.
Oh wait..
Another fire for OVH would be nice.
Setup fees on servers, monthly IP costs and poor DDoS protection are the main reasons I have so many OVH dedis and so few Hetzner ones. This new IP pricing will just make me even less inclined to use Hetzner in future.
@Hetzner_OL seriously? 19€ to just setup an IP?
That's really steep!
Are they applying this to existing services or just new?
Both
From the email they sent:
Starting on 2 August 2021, there will be a setup fee for new orders for additional IPv4 addresses (See below).
Starting on 3 January 2022, the monthly price for new and existing additional IPv4 addresses will also increase (See below).
@Clouvider please don't tell me you'll be doing the same... 😅
I guess it’s time for the refugee offers then.
I am listening...
Nice though, means a ton of stock coming back in.
Quite easy actually. That's what happens when you DONT have the French gov pouring in millions of euros into your business.
That being said - @Hetzner_OL
You might want to let the big guys know this is a dick move.
Here it is:
PS: This sucks big time.
@Hetzner_OL
After this update you will have probably highest prices on market for additional IPs (considering setup fees) plus huge wtf from current customers. That's what you want? Sucks, dicks, fucks next to "hetzner" on every hosting forum you can find?
How its going to affect hetzner brand perception?
What do you expect @Hetzner-OL do here?
All the people having tons of cheap ips are now panicking cause they can no longer find a provider with cheap ip except for ovh.
Looks like new Hetzner Cloud VPS costs will rise too, expectedly.
Do you know any other provider that charges 19 EUR setup fee for an IP address? Because this is what people are mostly disappointed about.
I suppose Hetzner run out of the cushion of the IPs they had and with the high cost of acquisition they don't want to risk it with long ROI.
Well We're not increasing our pricing : >
I'll check our stocks in Germany and see what we can do though
Hetzner is not going to suffer here, no idea why anyone thinks they will.
The amount of people that want their hardware, at the price they offer it without the need for more than one or even just a few IPs outweighs anything else. They know this.
The option is painfully being narrowed for some of kiddie hosts out there.
It's just .... beautiful to see them suffer.
