Just got a reply that it’s because of “the price change that took effect in April, which we announced to you during the week of February 22–27.”

So it’s permanent 😿 The one time sponsorship is awesome but this..

So heads up for people who host at Hetzner 💸

I guess this is the new normal considering computer part prices have been skyrocketing in recent months 🥲

Blame the AI guys buying up all the hardware I guess.

The price bumps still leave Hetzner about the best value around though I think.

Shame they aren't an ongoing sponsor though, that's what I assumed when they said they'd contribute. Some value of compute to spend each month. 😞

My bills for my servers are currently way more than my monthly rent - just for "hobby stuff" like my small instance but i don't see any suitable alternative to them o.o

And nice that you got a one time sponsorship though, congratz :3

Is there room to talk about this or is it set in stone? We’re trying to offer a better solution to the big tech web but it’s getting harder and harder this way
