Hetzner, which many instances rely on, just announced a major across the board price hike. A 30% increase isn’t minor.

For larger companies it’s a budget line. For small Mastodon instances, it’s the line between sustainable and underwater.

When servers jump from €49.99 to €64.99 and storage rises too, admins feel it first. Many already subsidize costs.

Some will downsize. Some may shut down.

Decentralization still runs on invoices.

Support your instances.

I nearly started moving the wikis I host to #Hetzner, but at the last minute realised that there's no object storage in their Singapore datacentre. So I guess I'm sticking with #DigitalOcean (in Sydney) for now.

32% price increase at Hetzner!!

@herrjemineh @activitypub.blog #Strato ist leider auch dafür bekannt, dass sie die Server stark überprovisionieren, also sich zu viele Kunden die selben Ressourcen teilen müssen. Der Wechsel zu einem anderen Webhost wie beispielsweise #Hetzner könnte die Performance verbessern und dabei eventuell sogar billiger sein.
