ProHosting24 - VPS Price increase
I'm posting this because there are probably quite a few ProHosting customers here.
VPS Price Update
Dear customer,
due to the ongoing chip shortage and increased hardware replacement costs, VPS plans purchased through special deals/promotions will increase by €2.00 per billing period starting 01.07.2026.
What can i do?
You can renew your server before 01.07.2026 to keep your current pricing for the prepaid period.As always, all services are prepaid and can simply be left to expire if the new pricing no longer fits your needs.
Thank you for your ongoing support
ProHosting24
This is quite a price increase, especially considering that this host advertised monthly payments.
The pricing is now in the range of Netcup and similar providers.
Comments
are they yearly clients? if so do they get 1/12/th of the price increase that promotion clients got?
What was the price previously? Like 4.95 or something like that? It got a bit higher on the later offers right?
I also received the email, sad but i was kind of like waiting for it. I am also worried i might receive an email similar but for bero-host or hostbrr.
It used to be a €4.95 monthly payment so 7 bucks now, but from what I can see, their control panel allows you to manually choose a renewal period. So I think I’ll cancel one and renew the other for a year or two upfront.
I need to think about it...
I like p24, but I surely won't pay €14 monthly for two idlers with the same host.
And yet they still try to pretend that Prohosting24 and Prepaid-Host are not one and the same... The fact that the prices were raised at the same time and by exactly the same amount leaves no doubt as to who was right in this forum.
Youre absolutely right with the assumption that they are related. Now, i can believe that they are "2 seperate companies" but they do know each other and i dont doubt they "cooperate" to phrase it in a way to not throw shade.
Same here. My final decision is to let go one €4.9, and to keep a €4. The end is nigh after all.
I'm also cancelling the 4.9 € plan.
So there r no more 5€ - 16 GB ram vps
Damn
Increase around 50% is too much......
Ditch them and move along. Vote with wallet.
As long as you need RAM, keep it. As soon as you need some real CPU power, ditch those fuckers and move on, those nodes are oversold as fuck. 15 years old Xeons have the same performance
I dont like the reasoning. You already have that RAM. So price spike of RAMs is irrelevant. Chip shortage? Same. The CPU is there. You sold the service and knew the numbers. This is BS.
hi foopy
actually the underlying issue is rather that it got complicated to maintain the infrastructure at current cash flow
we have got to replace failed 15tb nvme drives recently which cost 6-7k€ each, in 2025 we bought those for around 1.4-1.8k€
additionally although many services had expired at some point (i think we are currently 300 machines below from the last peak) utilization in terms of memory and storage has continued to rise
it should be pretty easy to calculate that eg 300*5=1500 less monthly cash flow combined with higher usage and no option to sell new deals and increased replacements costs force us to change something
increasing the price of around 7 to 8 hundred promo vps by 2€ won't cut the curb but the newly freed ressources will and that also allows us to keep serving to normal customers
if you believe that i am trying to abuse the position of yours as a customer with no owned hardware and no possibility to buy it cheap in the current market, then you are mistaken
maybe that's better reasoning for you to reconsider if you can actually recommend us or not

Price Increase on Recurring Dealz Hall of Predatoriness
i could imagine that you were rather limited to 1 cpu core because of sustained high load
otherwise i have no idea how you come to that conclusion, at least from my current point of view
Will you reduce price once Component price go down ? @ProHosting24
well we are running both our own sole proprietorship as well as a civil law partnership wich we use to rent colocation spaces and to buy hardware as a single entity
then we re-rent our sourced colocation to our sole proprietorships
this way we do safe a ton of money on eg shared network equipment or on together operated complex infrastructure like a storage cluster, this leads to pretty similar conditions for hardware calculations and offers etc. but support, features and other things like abuse handling or refund requests are usually pretty unique as we are still both doing our own thing in those regards
i am not sure though why one would dislike the fact, maybe you could enlighten me in this regard

You forgot https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/213784/now-deluxhost-important-update-price-adjustment-for-promotional-vps-offers/p1
usually we would just make new deals and post them everywhere, with existing customers also being allowed to order the new promo deals, the only requirement being that you move your data yourself.
in the past, running a hosting business meant you could calculate that, after 4-5 years, a deal that was considered very hot today wouldn't be nearly as attractive anymore because newer cpus, cheaper memory, and cheaper storage would eventually become available.
customers who don't really care about pricing and simply keep their existing plans over the years enable the business to invest faster into newer hardware, making it easier to grow and, ideally, offer even more competitive deals in the future.
but to keep it short, no, we will not reduce the pricing again, but rather keep the option open for you to switch to a better plan again on your own responsibility.
