Article Summaries:
- German data‑center operator Hetzner announced that, effective April 1 2026, it will raise prices on all cloud, dedicated‑server, storage and load‑balancer products by up to 37 %. The hike applies to both new and existing customers across its European, U.S. and Singapore sites. Cloud‑server rates in Germany and Finland will rise 30‑37 %, with the entry‑level CX23 moving from €2.99 to €3.99 per month; dedicated‑server prices will increase 5‑10 %, and object‑storage base rates jump from €4.99 to €6.49. Hetzner cites “drastic” hardware‑cost rises-particularly a 171 % surge in DRAM prices driven by AI demand-as the main driver. This is the second price adjustment this month, following a February fee increase. Existing customers have roughly five weeks’ notice before the new rates take effect.
