Hello, I would like to buy 3 of AX162 with the new prices.
No problem at all! Please message @emgh our Expenzner expert who can help you out
Man, I was prepared to defend this like, "Yeah, unfortunately the price of everything is increasing. Tough tits, an extra dollar or two a month can be expected when they're probably already operating on thin margins as is."
... but then I saw how big the increase is. Pretty wild.
But hey, in this market there is always a competitor doing it for less. A company that size, I'm sure they weighed options and have some sort of goal in mind that after many meetings decided could only be achieved by losing a bunch of customers at the cost of 2-3Xing their price. Less customers paying more is always better than many customers paying less, but kind of hard to start off as "cheap, for everyone" then flip to, "JK, we're expensive now"
hetzner is a shitty AWS alternative at this point
example of a product that went up almost 500%?
LMFAO
just to be fair that pic is excl and then incl vat (still horrible ofc)
Are you one of those who enjoy paying those increased prices? All is good?
OK we have unusual flood of orders from yesterday without us posting new offers !
So I was looking for the reason and I think i found it
very smart comment thanks for sharing your intelligence with us today please do let me know if you have any other opinions going forward
I get what you're saying but this is not the case for either US location now.
Thanks you are appreciated much. Very good and productive person. Glad to interact
Yeah, I didn't notice cost optimized is Europe only.
You are mixing things up. You got the wrong server and price. The ones you mean are under Limited Offerings.
The ones you mentioned are new servers. They already had a higher price.

Well looks like right time to post another thread with leaseweb vps offers
EX63 / EX63-1 / EX63-1-LTD and so on have the same specs, but only the expensive AX42-1 / EX63-1 / AX102-1 are available to buy right now. On Sunday evening you could buy EX63 at 77 Euro / month, and on Monday your only option was EX63-1 at 237 Euro / month. It's clearly the same hardware stock, so let's not pretend that there's any substantial change to the hardware to match the price increase.
Interesting is that a EPYC 4585PX (9950X3D) at DataPacket isn’t much more expensive than a 7950X3D at Hetzner with similar specs, also no setup fee and support, network & ddos protection that can’t even be compared
Sure it’s not 1:1 in price, but you get the enterprise version of the newer gen CPU. I’d say you get way more bang for your buck at DataPacket than at Hetzner for this spec (depending on if DataPacket adds VAT?)
Of course OVH is the reasonable alternative, just saying, price-wise they’ve entered DataPacket territory. Let’s see if clients agree that they provide DataPacket level service
https://ibb.co/hFV5ydKr
Yeah, and Hetzner shows €567.50 (+ €280 setup) with Swedish VAT (not sure if DataPacket adds this later or if they just don’t, hence why I said depending on VAT situation at DataPacket)
As said, the real comparison is OVH
9950X at OVH: €149.99
7950X3D at Hetzner: €454
Same 128GB RAM, Hetzner double the disk
So about 1:1 in specs given the CPU at OVH and the disk at Hetzner, yet 150 vs 454
I’d argue Hetzner isn’t even remotely cheap anymore
That north-gg character is such a whiny little bitch. That takes some mental gymnastics to say that was mocking and laughing at the user.
DataPacket level service isn't that great. Only the lowest level techs that don't know anything reply outside of czech hours, and they usually reply only at the very beginning of the day or the end of the day. Networking personel only work weekdays and often have to wait 3+ days for them to respond.
They also screwed up my ddos protection and it was not working for months.
I tried reinstalling the OS automatically, server didn't come back up, said it needed manual intervention. Then had to wait 4 hours before it was handled.
moved an hrly box off hetzner to vultr, notice their snapshots are the whole disk, not disk used... any way to get vultr more streamlined or another provider that does an efficient snapshot?
Hetzner is either adjusting the prices for AX servers or showing them depending on the visitor's location:
Also the setup fee isn't reduced, but somewhat crazy (this is AX162-R):
How can someone increase the co-locations cost if you claim RAM costs are high..
that's why we increase your costing..

I mean, sure, outstanding value is a pretty subjective term but like i said the before a lot of the people that were there because they felt they were getting (by their own definition) outstanding value have already left before the current increase because they felt said value was no longer there.
I guess 500mbit bigger port and 16GB RAM (which OVH charges $4.50/m for) at ~40€/m is now considered outstanding value... To be fair OVH doesn't include VAT here but in the end Hetzner's 55€ server would probably still be like 25€ at OVH with nothing but the 500mbit port speed (and way less disk on the Hetzner side of things) between them. Also OVH is offering actual server hardware here. I kind of doubt that the 6700 would be overly happy with ECC RAM.
And it's not like 2025 was some kind of dip. It's after overall pricing had already been creeping up for years. I mean, i kind of get that they'll have to factor in hardware and energy costs but a) this should have already happened at least partly, b) it's not like everything is up 90% and c) stuff like their auction servers shouldn't really be affected much at all (this is usually paid off hardware after all, which after bandwidth and energy is nothing but pure profit).
