yeah, although with zero transparency in regard how they ended up with the new price(s). because so far the new prices (especially in function of the old) are all over the place...

We have recently sent affected customers another statement via email with more information. The new Server Auction prices differ from model to model depending on the type of hardware they have. Only some servers in the Server Auctions were affected. (That's why unaffected customers did not receive an email.) The affected servers were being run at operating costs before the electricity prices in Germany increased over the last several months. Despite this, we understand that the price changes might seriously affect some customers. That's why, in our last email to affected customers, we presented an alternative option. The prices for our new/current dedicated root servers and cloud servers will remain unchanged. --Katie, Hetzner Online
I assume it has something to do with what the minimum for similar servers on current Robot auctions is. The servers I’m paying €21 for certainly never seem to hit lower than €29 these days.
