Hetzner dramatically increased prices for new and rescaled instances starting 15th of June, 2026; 8 AM CEST.

For orders placed before 15 June 2026, but delivered after 15 June 2026, the previous prices will apply.

They are also becoming greedy. I rent their 20GB VRAM instance GEX44, for which they now ask a 500 euro one-time setup fee. Whereas it was something like 60 euros a year ago.

I believe the price changes themselves were not publicly announced by Hetzner back then. Just their intent to increase them once again.

See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48307959

For example, their 'Regular Performance' cloud server tier has seen a 173% price increase.

It's been a struggle to allocate cost-optimized VPS at them for months now (in some regions), they were very often out-of-stock.

I wonder how this will affect their demand considering most people use them because they’re low cost

Anyone know why? Some of the tiers more than doubled in price, that's pretty insane.

RAM prices, surely?

Was looking into a ram upgrade and the kit is 4x what it was even a year ago. I'm with you on this one

Wow this is a brutal price increase for a lot of plans, at least it appears old user instance prices are grandfathered unless you rescale them.

Was this announced beforehand? How do you double prices for customers so abruptly with no transition period?

They announced it a few months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47120145

There are actually two separate pricing increases. One was introduced about 1-2 months ago. The one from today was announced at the end of May, without actually revealing new pricing then. The new levels were made public today or yesterday, I believe. And they are much bigger than before, some hikes are well above 200%.
