    I'm looking for 4 CPU and 8 CPU dedicated servers.

    I was planning on setting up a dedicated server with CMM. Based on my research on this forum, I see many people recommended Hetzner. So I signed up with them, got through their verification system, and then just yesterday Hetzner massively increased their prices and now it's cost prohibitive to go this route.

    Any other sources for dedicated server hosting that have better value?

    Thanks in advance.

    Yeah Hetzner dedicated pricing is insane now and even some of their VPS servers have hiked

    OVH is one option though their prices are up too and even retroactively increase pricing on existing servers to spread the costs. If current server is ok, maybe wait to this Black Friday for deals though might be on the hiked new prices.

    Before ram/ssd price jumps was already planning looking at new dedicated deals to get in before price hikes, but then OVH retroactively increased prices on existing servers so in this environment you never know with web hosting prices if you pay month to month. Only limited guarantee is if you prepay for 12-24-36 months in advance to lock in prices. Month to month you still can get price hikes.

    Some of my paid clients are hiring me to get their increased hosting costs under control based on their budgets and resource requirements. Imagine saving $144K/yr in hosting costs!

    I am running an AX 102 with 64GB of extra ram (192GB in total) for over a year. That server would set you back €158 a month a few months ago.
    Nowadays I pay €201 a month for that same server, already an extreme price hike (which is shady because I already paid for that server, the hardware is already paid for.

    That same server now costs €662 ?! Insane! And we haven't even touched on the setup fee! that would normally be about €50. Now it is a ridiculous €330.

    I understand prices have to go up in these times. But this is just crazy.

    Yeah it's insane. I understand they want to spread their increased costs across their customer base so retroactively increasing prices. Sucks though :(

    I had already cancelled a few Hetzner VPS servers a few months ago still have some but looks like they are grandfathered into old prices unless I resize them or cancel. So guess keep it for now.
