Hetzner raises cloud and dedicated server prices up to 200 percent, simplifies product lineup

German cloud hosting provider Hetzner has implemented significant price increases for both cloud and dedicated servers, effective June 15, with some virtual server monthly prices tripling. According to heise.de, the increases reach up to 200 percent, following a previous price hike in February. The company is also streamlining its product portfolio by eliminating individual hardware configurations for dedicated servers.

Hetzner's price adjustment applies to new orders and cloud instance rescales, as reported by Hacker News. The updated pricing tables cover their Falkenstein and Helsinki data centers, with prices listed in both Euros and US Dollars excluding VAT. The new pricing is structured by server location, type, and currency, though not all customers are affected equally, according to heise.de.

Existing orders placed before the effective date will retain previous pricing even if delivered after June 15, Hacker News noted. This grandfathering provision offers some relief for customers who acted before the changes took effect. The move reflects broader industry trends of rising costs in cloud infrastructure, as providers adjust their pricing models.
