Every AWS product I've used has gotten cheeper over the years (excluding the free tier / beta free periods)

  This is true per "equivalent" unit of generic computing, but some older instance types have gone up in price (presumably to encourage people to migrate their stuff onto newer hardware). This is completely reasonable - but a pain when you have a box that works perfectly and you have to upgrade the software to cope with a new hypervisor driver/layer.

    Not just compute. Storage and data transfer have also trended lower in my experience.

      Well sure, but when S3 costs $22 per Terabyte per month, it is easy to reduce the price

        thats pretty cheap considering the convenience and availability it offers

        O'rly? How much do you charge?

    One of the things I really like about Hetzner is that they auction off the older dedicated servers for cheaper. It should make economic sense to do the right thing.
