- dannyw 4y agoTheir competition charges XXX% markups on everything but EC2...
- lima 4y agoEC2, particularly traffic, has massive markups too.
- greggyb 4y agoEC2 is definitely at a premium. If you are pricing CPU and RAM, the big three cloud providers are near the top of the pricing continuum. Hetzner is usually at or near the bottom end of the pricing continuum. If you are including the value-add of other cloud features, then it is not a like-for-like comparison.
- scarab92 4y agoAmazon's margins are astronomical. Hetzner doesn't need to give up any where near as much consumer surplus as they do in order to compete on price, but having a solid offering at very low price point is how they have chosen to differentiate themselves from other providers on the VPS to cloud spectrum. Arguably they are competing more against Linode, OVH, digital ocean etc.. Massive respect to them for linking the change to electricity prices rather than just "inflation". They know that by doing this there will be pressure to reverse the increase once electricity prices normalise.
