Hetzner, one of Europe's largest budget cloud/IaaS providers, is raising prices by up to 50% starting April 1, 2026, affecting customers across Germany, Finland, the US, and Singapore. The hikes are driven by dramatic increases in hardware costs—particularly DRAM, NAND flash, and server CPUs—fueled by AI industry demand straining global supply chains. Analysts note that smaller and mid-tier providers like Hetzner and OVHcloud lack the long-term vendor contracts that insulate hyperscalers (AWS, Google, Microsoft) from these shocks, forcing them to pass costs directly to users. Customer reactions are mixed, with some considering alternatives while others acknowledge the increases are justified given RAM prices rising 80–400%.
