> * Memory add-on for bare metal: 575% (effective immediately)

I don’t see this anywhere, source?

I used Hetzner's pricing calculator.

https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/ax162-r/configu...

Before today, we used to be able to order an AX162-R for €207 and add 128 GB of RAM for €46. Starting today, the same calculator provides €207 for an AX162-R (*) and €264 for the 128 GB RAM add-on. Sadly, HN doesn't let me upload screenshots.

(*) The price change for AX162-R machines is effective starting April 1st.

Yeah, not sure where they're getting those from.

From the Robot UI, I tried ordering a new EX44 or EX63:

- EX63 comes with 64 GB DDR5 by default, can be upgraded to 192 GB DDR5 ECC for added €42.35

- EX44 comes with 64 GB by default, can be upgraded to 128 GB DDR4 Non-ECC for added € 16.94 max. per month

Checking today doesn't really indicate anything.

It's worth noting that the hardware price of RAM is up at least 550% yoy, so this was always going to happen as soon as their existing contracts had to be renewed

I thought the "effective immediately" mean that April 1st threshold wasn't for the memory...

Mmh, true...

I suspect there are errors on their announcement anyway, I mean there are rows like this on it

    GEX131 (256 GB RAM) 1232,05
    GEX131 (512 GB RAM) 1230,82
    GEX131 (768 GB RAM) 2114,75

Which would mean the 256 version is slightly more expensive then the 512.

Hetzner often feels more like a mom-and-pop store then a corporation because of stuff like that
