See: https://docs.hetzner.com/general/infrastructure-and-availability/price-adjustment/
No grandfathering, old and new users are affected with new increased pricing from 1st of April. Hetzner warns this is unlikely to be the only step they take.
Hetzner is not alone, OVH, Azure, AWS GPU increasing prices too.
At PM we are not anticipating any price increases for this year -- but i would be lying to say market conditions would not affect us as well. New service pricing may be affected.

We have some infra VMs over there, and got the notificaiton, CPX11 went +43% up not just +40%. The type with +43% was already ridiculously priced for the performance and marked for eventual migration. Some with console saying "This server plan is deprecated and can no longer be ordered. Existing servers of that plan will continue to work as before, and no action is required on your part. It is possible to migrate this server to another server plan by using the Rescale feature. Go to Rescale" ....
Careful with backups, snapshots increased +30%.
All different types of VMs we have there went +34% to +43%, with the snapshots +30%.
Servers a flat +3%.
Take from that what you will ...
Doesn't matter much to us, it's just some backend infra stuff, but can imagine how badly this hurts some people for whom these are actually meaningful costs.
Ouch but $7?
Wondering how OVH will handle this
See the tables i posted, OVH Cloud +5-10% and OVH VPS +41-55% ...
Ionos to increase pricing for existing custs? I have no corespondence about that.
interesting to see that gpu servers have the smallest price increase?! Counter intuitive when you think that the ai market should be booming right now...
Demands for those are very minimal in compare to general services. Niche, already insane markup.
ram and storage prices increased way more than consumer gpus
If they will add that bandwidth limit as it is on Dedicated server, maybe I will continue to work with them even if the price goes with 1 euro upper.
why not just use a dedi at this point?
@fluffernutter for hosted email are good enough. By the way, photo has been took from reddit. And this can happen by anytime, to anyone.
Oh I thought you were doing 180tb per month on a VM with some regularity and was like ????
@fluffernutter nope.
that poor guy was hacked or he did torrenting, or so.
@PulsedMedia, hello again. How's your sauna? Don't forget to de-stress from rising prices.
Everyone is hurt. Hyperscaler is insane. They're spending like crazy but didn't realized spending something on something that would be increasingly inferior than the newest high-end Nvidia card (at this point, it's going to be a slab), would cause unscheduled writeoff. Hang in there (at least by 2028)

Every company is looking to cash in right now. I doubt their real expenses have gone up that much.
May we see price increasing on Proton Mail, or Microsoft 365 ?
No. No. Nooooo...!!!
Cost of replacement hardware has gone up. Cost of getting new hardware has gone up. This reflects on providers since they don't operate their own fabs or manufacturing processes.
They sent us email with the new prices but they don't mention the price for each dedicated server. That being said, we can't know which will be the new price for each of our servers. I asked them and they replied that I will learn it after I receive the invoice. It is a surprise! What a professional way to go!
@NetDynamics24 PAngV
RAM price affecting all now , RAM which we paid 300 usd last year and bought similar ram for 1800 USD yesterday
If old hardware , then maybe
if they try to buy new hardware , you are wrong . Cost is much more than what price increase by these companies .
Hosting companies are last to increase price due to so tough competition in the field and if they increasing price , there must be other factors increasing prices in supply chains
@hostdare I do have in idle one 1TB IronWolf has been used for a few times, when I bought it it was 50 EUR. I was looking now to buy a few more and now it is more or less than 100-150 EUR.
Have some unused 4tb nvme which I may be selling
Good time to sell your unused inventories
@gbzret4d you are rich
Try purchasing higher capacity. I'm purchasing on average $29/TB
You mean in bulk? That may work in other countries, in Romania you'll have the same price.

35 USD per TB
How does RAM price increase impact already deployed dedicated servers?
Delegating the share of burden of new orders to old orders also I guess.
Replacement and new supply can't only affect new servers; we will affect all the stock, so we gain more profit and gain profit from the loss in the new dedicated server that was deployed 4 months ago.
