I blame AI
Looks like Storage Boxes aren’t increasing in price, phew.
Yet.
Can you use from from another VPS provider?Probably? I’m using them to backup my home server.
Seriously, butthole loosened. That’s my homelab backup solution.
Some two euro increase for my auction server.
they knocked down that sweet, sweet upload bandwidth per month from 20TB to 2TB last year. now, theyre adjusting prices, I cant see a way this doesnt get more expensive for me 5 years down the line…
time to setup my own servers in my home! 😁
If you’re making your own server to save money, boy do i have a bridge to sell you!
😂
it’ll run on sunshine and good vibes, basically free from my part of the world!! lol
Ah, but your hardware is most definitely not free. and even if bought used, and your power is literally completely free, it will likely fail or be too obsolete before any actual savings occur. Not to mention the massive time-sink it quickly becomes (especially in the beginning).
I’m not saying don’t self host, just don’t think you’ll save any money doing it.
I have always done self hosting. You don’t need the most new hardware. And if you enjoy it too it is a win win. For me I host over 60 services my self. For me and family and some friends.
I’m definitely not running newest HW, I’m running on 6y/o HW and refurbished HDDs bought 2 years ago. But even if my power was free (it isn’t), and nothing breaks (it will), I would need to run the server for ~10 years to make up for the subscriptions it let me drop.
I was kidding lol, I am aware
Thank you AI.
I went with netcup about 5 years ago as Hetzner kept raises prices monthly. Absolutely happy with it too.
German company owned by Austrian company and with a presence on mastodon… not a bad start.
Hetzner just killed my public IP address because of a random and baseless abuse report. No reaction from their end, just silence. I immediately started migrating to another hoster and deleted my account.
I hope for some large red numbers for Hetzner.
Noooo I just moved a few services there from amazon. Oh well. I have to say I am pretty happy with them though.
Hmm. Gonna put a few euros on my auction servers. I would complain but the price has been static for 2.5 years.
RAM & storage prices?
Yeah being European doesn’t mean someone will let go a good business opportunity… We’ll see others follow with similar increases unless the European stance on territoriality changes again.
