If you run anything on Hetzner, you have probably already seen the notice. As of 08:00 CEST on June 15, 2026, Hetzner adjusted its prices again, and this round is the steepest yet: new cloud and dedicated server orders are up by an average of about 99% in Germany, 158% in its US locations, and 78% in Singapore, according to heise. Some line items more than tripled.
For a host whose entire brand is "absurdly cheap European iron," a near-doubling is a shock. But the interesting part for anyone who runs infrastructure is not the number. It is the reason behind it, because that reason is going to show up in your bills too, whether or not you host on Hetzner and whether or not you do anything with AI.
What actually changed
The adjustment applies to new orders and cloud rescales from June 15 onward. If you have an existing machine, you keep your current price until you reorder or resize it. Orders placed before the cutoff but delivered after still get the old price. Web hosting, managed and Exchange servers, IP addresses, storage boxes, and load balancers were left out of this round.
A few representative changes, taken from Hetzner's own price tables and heise's reporting:
