Up to 200 percent: Cloud hoster Hetzner adjusts prices again
Since the morning of June 15, new prices for cloud and dedicated servers have been in effect. However, the price increases do not affect all Hetzner customers.

Cloud hoster Hetzner is once again significantly increasing its server prices after a price round in February. At the same time, the provider is streamlining its product portfolio and saying goodbye to individual hardware configurations for dedicated servers. But virtual servers are also becoming considerably more expensive – monthly prices are sometimes tripling.
Announced at the end of May, now implemented: Hetzner presents the new prices in a table, tiered by server location, type, and currency. While comparative prices for servers with dedicated hardware are missing, they are transparently listed for cloud servers. The percentage price changes are most drastic in the two US data centers of the Gunzenhausen-based company: the CPX41 server price is tripling, costing a hefty €120.49 per month instead of €38.99. On average, Hetzner is adding 158 percent to the price of US servers and still 99 percent in Germany. The price increases in Singapore seem almost moderate: prices are going up by an average of just under 78 percent. The costs for a dedicated IPv4 address are not yet included, but they are also not changing.

Existing customers and many products spared
The increased prices apply to newly ordered servers and, for cloud servers, to “rescales” – changes to the virtual operating parameters – made from June 15, 2026, at 8:00 AM. Existing customers are exempt and are well advised not to touch their existing machines from now on. Those who order a new server at the higher price will at least benefit from lower setup fees. Web hosting products, managed and exchange servers, IP addresses, as well as additional services such as storage and load balancers, are also exempt from the price increases.
The reason for the price increases is the still extremely high procurement costs for new hardware. This was also the reason for the previous price round in February of this year. In the announcement of the price increase, Hetzner expresses the claim to offer “customers stable and fair prices in the long term.”
