Hetzner announcement: Price changes for servers ordered via the Server Auction
by dutchbrit on Hacker News.
“Unfortunately, energy prices in Germany have been increasing dramatically, and electricity plays a big role in the operating costs for servers. We have always calculated the prices for the Server Auction to be as low as possible. The current prices for many Server Auction servers do not cover the increasing operating costs.” In my case, server price is going from €26 to €35, a 35% increase(!!!). Still cheap for what I’m getting but quite a price hike, new pricing starts in March in my case. Received via email, no article on their website yet.
