Renewal jumped from $12 to $48. Anyone else?

I may be wrong, but this seems like a significant increase without proper notice. I received the email this morning for my annual plan at Hetzner. Screenshot attached.

I have two other VPS instances in Singapore and Sydney, both with different providers, and their pricing has remained stable. I am curious if this is isolated or affecting others.

Has anyone found a suitable alternative in the Asia-Pacific region with similar previous specs? I prefer not to migrate unless necessary, but this is difficult to justify.

Same email. 4x increase. ticket open 72 hours. No response.

Migrated 6 vps to RackNerd last night. Grandfathered pricing still available. Referral code not needed.

Got the email at 3am, naturally I was awake, naturally I wrote a migration script

Anyway heres the thing: their control panel api still reports old price in one endpoint and new price in another. Idk why I do this but I screenshotted both responses. Probably useful for chargeback if they try to auto-renew

Json
{"renewal": 12.00, "invoice": 48.00}

Beautiful, really 💀

Hetzner going full villain arc. Remember when they were the cheap darling of this forum? . Surprised it took this long honestly. Private equity playbook page one: buy cheap, squeeze hard, blame inflation.

My infrastructure has not had a single price increase in three years

Look I get it, margins are thin in this business, but my customers depend on stability. I run on upstream agreements that let me guarantee rates. If anyone needs a migration path, my GreenCloudVPS reseller tier has slots open. Same specs, no renewal shocks.

Not saying Hetzner handled this well. They didn't. Just saying there are options that don't involve dancing between whatever grandfathered promo RackNerd is running this week.
