A score out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews, so a handful of glowing reviews can’t beat a product many people like.

Still keeps 3 VPS and finds Hetzner support much faster than OVH, but thinks the price increase should be reversed.

A small business owner is leaving because of price increases and billing-date changes while still liking Hetzner and its products and support.

Was switching from DigitalOcean but costs more than doubled, and only a locked-in price on one server keeps some business there.

Their Hetzner VPS rose to about 25 euro a month and they could not rescale due to SSD size, and ARM64 machines in that datacenter were fully booked.

Moved their whole estate for pricing four months ago and was shocked by the new-instance increase, though owned instances stay price locked.

Moved from Linode for lower prices, but at the new prices it would cost about the same, so they will look elsewhere.

Cloud-only customer shocked by a CCX23 jump from 31.49 to 85.99 euros overnight and considering bigger providers.

A CCX13 quoted at 15 dollars a month in March now costs 50.99, and their own shared VPS would rise from 6.99 to 22.99.

Fifteen cloud servers costing 700 euros a month would rise toward 2000 euros, so the team is moving away after almost 10 happy years.

Migrated several large e-commerce platforms spending five figures monthly but would not do it again in the current state.

Pleased with performance and pricing on cloud-optimised instances, but the 30 percent price rise means Hetzner is no longer the obvious no-brainer.

Wanted green infrastructure and would pay a premium, but the new pricing went from manageable to bleeding them dry overnight.

A long-time Hetzner customer moved to ServaRICA for 2-3x the cores, RAM and disk because current prices no longer justified their needs.

Likes Hetzner but the latest price hike makes Netcup more attractive, though Hetzner stays for hourly usage.

Hetzner announced a roughly 33 percent cloud price increase for new and existing servers, and the poster says FSN1 is so oversold it blocks rescaling.
