The massive 2026 price hikes are here. Decentralize your infrastructure, stop paying for "greedflation", and find better hosting alternatives.
For years, Hetzner was the go-to choice for affordable, reliable hosting in Europe. But things have changed. With price hikes of up to 43% on cloud servers, 39% on load balancers, and 21% on dedicated hardware rolling out April 1st 2026, the era of budget-friendly Hetzner is over.
Cloud servers up 30–43%, load balancers up 31–39%, dedicated servers up 3–21%, storage up 30%. All regions affected — Germany, Finland, USA, Singapore. No grandfathering. No loyalty discount.
Additional IPv4 addresses becoming prohibitively expensive, punishing anyone running multi-service infrastructure.
A shift away from the developer community and small businesses that built their success. The budget era is officially over.
All prices excl. VAT. Monthly pricing in EUR. Click to expand.
