Hetzner raises cloud and dedicated server prices

Status: confirmed
Sources: Hetzner price adjustment docs, HN discussion
Summary: Hetzner raised prices on cloud and dedicated servers effective 2026-06-15 at 08:00 CEST, applying to new orders and cloud instance rescales. Published cloud-server increases vary by instance: for example CAX11 from EUR 0.0072 to EUR 0.0096 per hour (about 33 percent), CPX22 from EUR 0.0128 to EUR 0.0312 per hour (about 144 percent), and CCX13 from EUR 0.0256 to EUR 0.0689 per hour (about 169 percent). Dedicated-server prices also rose; the 262-point Hacker News thread reports increases of roughly 3 to 4 times on some dedicated lines, which is the discussion framing rather than a per-line figure in the price table. Orders placed before the cutoff but delivered after it keep the previous price.
Why it matters: Hetzner's low pricing made it a default for self-hosters and cost-sensitive infrastructure, so increases reaching about 169 percent on some cloud instances change the rent-versus-build math and may push workloads toward other providers.
