Hetzner customer here. It’s a little hard to understand in the UX, but the price shown is the monthly max price.

It is actually paid by the hour.

The price per hour for this server is € 1.5980

But the setup fee is €86.90. Is that not paid each time you provision the server?

That's incorrect, dedicated Hetzner servers do not have hourly pricing. That only applies to Hetzner Cloud.

No, they switched to per-hour billing for their dedicated servers a while ago. I also tested this last week when I cancelled a dedicated server we had with them and they did indeed only charge for part of the month.

That's incorrect. Dedicated servers do now offer hourly pricing. See this page which lists the hourly pricing for the new GEX130 server:

But, as far as I know (hence the sibling question), you still need to pay the setup fee each time you launch.

I'd read that hourly fee more as a comparative.
