Take a note, recuring prices will be reviewed upcoming weeks for dedicated and cloud services. So not only setup fees get a bump, but also everything else.

drop again later on, they can just reduce the setup fee again.

12-16cores

Earlier today, Hetzner made an official statement through which the increased setup fees of their dedicated servers were revealed.

​A ~130€ setup fee on a 55€ server means I am basically financing the hardware for Hetzner. If I cancel early, I paid for the RAM/Disk and they keep it. That isn't renting, that's hardware sponsorship

I prefer paying higher monthly prices instead of such setup fees. For someone who needs a server only for 2 months, this setup prices are way too high. I'll go eith another hoster, hetzner auction ser

128 GB of RAM costs around €800 while the setup fee in this example is €200.

Why should we pay for future customers and their ram? Raise the monthly prices if the ram prices are too high but some hundred bucks as setup fee is crazy imo

Seems there is no automatic setup for this package. I've just also placed and paid for order this morning. Still pending.

Thanks! Unfortunately, that CPU isn't quite right for my needs. Since I'm hosting game servers, single-core performance is my top priority.

Do your payment processors and billing system run an automatic screening to make sure the payment goes through? So it will not cause any delay to instant setup after purchase.

WTAF are those setup fees lol. You definitely pay for (future) RAM here. Crazy.

So, realistically, you pay RAM for next clients server setup.

Interesting. AX162-R - 542 EUR setup fee, but AX162-S - 411 EUR setup fee. This is RAM bound. Because s type has more storage, but this does not affect setup fee.
