Hetzner IPv4 price increase announcement.

Just got this:

Dear Sir or Madam

For a long time now, the pool of available IPv4 addresses has been almost empty at RIPE, the European IP address management agency. That's why RIPE stopped assigning IPv4 nets. There has also been increased demand in IPv4 addresses. Because of this situation, there is now a fast-growing market in IPv4 address trading with many active brokers. On https://ipv4.global/reports/ for example, users can buy IPv4 nets and transfer them to RIPE, regardless of the management agency that is responsible for administering the IPv4 address. Supply and demand determine the price at IPv4 brokers, so the prices have skyrocketed.

We have tried hard to avoid passing on these higher prices to our customers, and have accepted the economic loss until now. However, the prices have increased so dramatically that we can no longer do this. We unfortunately must increase our prices.

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).

You can also see this price overview at: https://docs.hetzner.com/general/others/ipv4-pricing

The monthy price change starting on 3 January 2022 will affect these specific products that you use:

Demand for IPv4 addresses will likely remain very high. And we will need to continue to purchase nets.
We assume that the prices for IPv4 addresses will continue to rise, and that we will also need to increase our prices again in the future. Prices for IPv4 will likely remain high until after IPv6 has become much more popular.

We want you to be able to plan for the future. That is why we decided to also inform you about the price increases for 3 January 2022 in this email. We will send you a reminder mail at the end of 2021, and we will strive to be transparent with you about these and any future price increases.

We hope that you can accept our decision, and we thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
