Hetzner: Increasing prices #1062

Closed ChrisNZL closed 1 year ago

ChrisNZL commented 2 years ago

Hetzner prices are increasing next month.

Need to investigate if worth keeping existing two servers, or to migrate them to a different hosting provider.


Energy prices from suppliers have risen drastically since the end of last year. This phenomenon is affecting people and industries across the globe. And since prices are not likely to drop or stabilize in the near future, we are forced to increase the prices of many of our products by approximately 10 %. In addition, we also unfortunately need to implement a serious increase to the electricity/air conditioning rate for our colocation products.

The price change will come into effect on 1 September 2022 for new orders. You will see the new prices for products listed on our website at https://www.hetzner.com starting on 1 September 2022. For products, which you have ordered and we have brought online for you before 1 September 2022, the prices will change starting on 1 January 2023.

Clients who have existing products will also benefit from having the old prices until 31 December 2022.

To provide more transparency for you and to allow you to plan for the future, we wanted to inform existing clients about this price change in advance in this message. In the beginning of the fourth quarter, we will write to you again with more detailed information.

Despite the change, we believe that our products still provide you with a fair price-to-performance offer.

However, if you choose to end your contract, you can cancel and/or delete products using our administration interfaces and within the normal cancellation period.

This was a difficult decision for us to make; we always strive to keep our prices as low as possible. We thank you for your understanding.

If you have any questions, we are here for you. Please first read our FAQs at https://docs.hetzner.com/general/others/price-adjustment. You can also write us a support request using your account on one of our administration interfaces; once you are logged on, just look for “Support” in the menu.

Kind regards

Seems fine to stay with Hetzner.

Vultr's prices are $6 USD for new instances (used to be $5 USD). Hetnzer's upcoming prices are about $5.50 USD per instance.
