"When we are able to source hardware components at a lower cost, these new “limited” servers will have particularly attractive conditions."
Limited used as a "cheaper" instead of pricier service is counterintuitive to me.
"All dedicated servers and cloud plans at all locations are affected by this adjustment. However, web hosting products, managed servers, servers from the Server Auction, IPs, storage products, Load Balancers, Volumes, Snapshots, and Object Storage are not affected."

I think they mean limited like it might be limited in performance or some other characteristics. :D

It seems this is for their dedicated servers. In my understanding it shouldn't affect Cloud/VPS (right?) that were adjusted in April [1].

"newly ordered"
dominikz 12 hours ago [-]
The last pricing change was for Cloud and it affected everything, ie. newly ordered and already acquired.
The way it's written in the annoucement, this will be applicable only to new Cloud orders. I belive the existing cloud infrastructure will be priced the same as started in April 2026.

Oh. So another increase, for Cloud (since I was a customer before the April update)? This is incredibly confusing, even if not a reason for me to leave them.

What is interesting is the timeline. The last update in pricing was only fourth months ago. I received the following email on the 24. of February 2026. The reasoning is the same vague arguments about general costs going up. I wonder if you can justify the same way in just four months.
I suppose the bigger question to ask, is does it have to do anything with AI forcing hardware prices to go up for everyone, or is this related to the 'green energy' transformation in Germany.
But still. Probably one of the cheapest and most reliable cloud providers (Hetzner Cloud)?
Dear ...
This mail is to inform you about an unfortunate, but necessary price change that we must make.
There have been drastic price increases in various areas in the IT branch recently. That is why, unfortunately, we must also increase the prices of our products.
The costs to operate our infrastructure and to buy new hardware have both increased dramatically. Therefore, our price adjustment will affect both your existing products and new orders.

Smaller more frequent price increases is potentially better than larger less frequent price increases assuming they need the increase to stay profitable? Sounds like they didn’t predict the continued increasing costs.

Right now it is impossible to order cost-optimized servers in Falkstein, Nuremberg, or Helsinki. No matter if it is x86 or ARM.
Looks like they had to buy _a lot_ of new servers and it was very expensive.

TLDR: Products affected: "All dedicated servers and cloud plans at all locations are affected by this adjustment. However, web hosting products, managed servers, servers from the Server Auction, IPs, storage products, Load Balancers, Volumes, Snapshots, and Object Storage are not affected."
No info on how much prices will go up: "We will provide further details on the new prices on our website during the rollout."
