ColoCrossing announces a price increase for server renewals from $99/year to $149/year.
First, we want to thank you for being a valued ColoCrossing customer. We truly appreciate your business and the trust you've placed in us.
We are reaching out regarding an upcoming change to your dedicated server pricing.
Over the past several years, we've worked hard to keep our pricing consistent despite continued increases in power, labor, hardware, and other operating costs. Unfortunately, these rising expenses have reached a point where we need to make adjustments to ensure we continue providing the reliable service and support you expect from ColoCrossing.
Effective with your next annual renewal, your dedicated server base rate will be adjusted to $149.04 per year, excluding addons. This works out to only $12.42 per month (billed annually), which we believe continues to offer exceptional value for a dedicated server.
We understand price increases are never welcome, and this was not a decision we made lightly. We've done our best to absorb these additional costs for as long as possible while keeping our services affordable.
We sincerely appreciate your understanding and continued loyalty. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out.
Thank you again for choosing ColoCrossing.
Best regards,
The ColoCrossing Team

Price Increase on Recurring Dealz Hall of Predatoriness

The price increase alone is more than the cost per month on $99 a year. Shout out to CC for their ability to monetize their old sawdust servers.
I hope they post some $99/year during BF
The had already sent me an invoice at the previous cost, then retracted it and sent a new one with the higher cost. I already canceled.
hell nah
honestly $149.04 for 64gb ram and 4x1tb ssd im ok with surprised they kept at 99 that long
you're lucky I don't have one with any of those specs
@Telegram , what do
Its still a good deal up to $400 but mostly depends on the offered specs.
which 99$/y deals are left?
Dartnode shock solid nocix(?) gigahost
I'll cancel all
You may as well put all providers there already and save yourself some time.
If you think 1.5-2x pricing increases on hardware are to be ignored...
We're also increasing on 01-12-2026 for purchases done until 31/12/2025 with rates between 6.5% and 100% (the higher the yearly payment, the lower the increase), from the next publishable invoice, with a ceiling increase on existing pricing and a chance for existing users to renew at the existing rates during this month.
You may as well put us there already, I don't care. This list is just pedantic.
Price increases should be done only for new orders, not for existing ones. However, you feel free to increase prices however you like. It is your business at the end of the day so you may decide whatever you may; meanwhile don't forget to notify customers in advance so they may cancel the services and take advantage of the next events (like Black Friday, Christmas, New Year) in case these events come with deals.
We've done it, yes. We've notified already around November 1st/2nd (depending on the timezone) via e-mail so to give everyone time to do as they see fit, and the policy we have demands that we give around 30 days of advance warning to customers before implementing that.
But many customers will still renew normally e.g. their Black Friday services with us and have original pricing until 2027 or even go until 2028/2029 with the original pricing. And it's okay. And if they cancel and choose something else, it's okay too, though I did manage the increases in a way that still makes the service post-increase appealing, price-wise, on the present (insane) context.
I've really, really tried to only increase pricing for new services, but at the end of the day it simply can't be done exclusively. I'm sure other providers have tried that too and concluded the same. ColoCrossing's increase corresponds to the lower band of the increase I've seen on bare-metal, around 50% minimum. That's why I find this list not really fair.
If the price increases didn't occur on new hardware purchases and it was just speculation? Sure, it'd be greediness. Unfortunately, that's not the case. Usually.
Surprisingly, they seem to have sent an email giving a full quarter of advance notice, the opportunity to top up services at previous pricing, and no price increase if your purchase was within the last year.
Primcast, Scaleway Dedibox etc.
