# Hetzner increased dedicated server prices 3-4x > Source: > Published: 2026-06-15 14:44:02+00:00 True but this is probably because now they have much more demand as other competitors got to expensive and now people are going for the smaller ones even with low service levels This is such disappointing news. I was planning on migrating some of our workloads to hetzner specifically to take advantage of the AX162 pricing which was incredibly competitive. Does anyone else have any suggestions for competitive pricing for this kind of thing (e.g. batch jobs)? Was this applied retrospectively to existing customers? Correct me if I am wrong, but AI made software development and operations more expensive than before. Yes, it is faster too, but the question: is it worth the price? Can the users consume new features in that pace?
