While all the guesswork ? They explain clearly why this is happening. And it seems fair.
"With the new tariff structure, we want to make conditions for our customers around the world as fair as possible. To do that, we will calculate our prices based on local conditions in Europe, Singapore, and the USA. Until this change, customers who have used fewer resources have covered the costs, in a way, for other customers who have used much more resources. We want to make things more balanced. The new prices will give our customers the best possible price for the resources they use."

I don't do research on what actual costs a provider I sign up with has, and whether a product might be subsidized in some way. If I relied on those 20TB a month I now got a 100 to 400% price increase. I really like hetzner and their service quality, but that does leave a bad taste... I seems like they badly miscalculated.

- HelloNurse 2y agoThey are telling in advance: changes are effective from February for old contracts.
- mafuy 2y agoWell, a month ago they did not know that insane tariffs are going to exist suddenly. They are telling this pretty much as soon as they could.
- christophilus 2y agoThere are no tariffs yet until January, and they don’t apply to Germany, anyway. This has nothing to do with tariffs.
- RealStickman_ 2y agoThis increase only affects the US regions, so it very likely is in preparation for additional tariffs.
