Wow. That sucks. hcloud was great for ages and highly competitively priced.

Vultr may be a good alternative. If you want to search VPS prices across the 6 major clouds (gcloud, aws-cli, hcloud, az, doctl, and vultr-cli) I made a wrapper TUI that lets you search, sort, and rent VPS.

I feel like a huge selling point of Hetzner is that they're based in Europe, and they're themselves citing that as the reason for a huge uptick in sales and new users. In that context, I don't Vultr is a realistic alternative.

OK, I never thought of it like that. It was always a price thing. For a while Vultr and Hetzner were much better value per unit.

What's behind the European push?

I would be very surprised if all hosting providers didn’t increase their prices eventually.

This is it. Hetzner has always been very price competitive in its existence. Given the private ownership, I din‘t expect this to be a sudden outburst of greed, but to actually reflect rising costs.

If a provider has higher margins, they may choose to eat some of the cost. But I would not expect that to be the case across the board
