Hetzner raises prices for new dedicated server and cloud instances effective June 15, 2026.

Hetzner announced price increases for new orders and rescales starting 15 June 2026 at 8 AM CEST; existing orders placed before that date are grandfathered. The tables list new monthly and setup fees in euros and US dollars for multiple dedicated server models across data centers in Falkenstein, Helsinki, Nuremberg, and limited-offering tiers. Cloud server prices also rose for all regions (Germany/Finland, USA, Singapore), with some CCX and CPX tiers seeing increases of 100–200% or more. The company notes that limited-offering server availability depends on hardware supply from cancelled orders.

What commenters are saying

Commenters are broadly critical of the magnitude of increases, with some cloud and dedicated tiers more than doubling. Many attribute the hikes to skyrocketing hardware costs, especially RAM and storage, noting similar trends at OVH and other providers. Several complain about poor communication: the first announcement came months ago but the specific new prices were revealed only recently, and some customers argue the approach undermines long-term loyalty. A few users point out that existing instances are grandfathered unless rescaled, and some note that even newer GPU models now have steep setup fees.
