Free Tier Details

Budget cloud VMs, no free tier. As of 2026-10-07 hetzner.com marks every Cost-Optimized plan — CX23, CX33, CX43, CX53 and the Arm CAX11–CAX41 — "not available". The cheapest orderable plan is CPX02 at €6.49/month (1 vCPU AMD, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB NVMe), which Hetzner added on 2026-10-06 in the EU and Singapore (€7.99 there). CPX12 is €11.99 (1 vCPU, 2 GB, 40 GB) and CPX22 is €19.99 (2 vCPU, 4 GB, 80 GB). All three include 20 TB of traffic a month in the EU and less in Singapore (0.5 TB for CPX02 and CPX12). Dedicated-vCPU CCX13 is €43.49/month in the EU and $51.59 in the US. These are hetzner.com's displayed prices and include the €0.50/month primary IPv4. Two 2026 increases: April 1 across all lines, then June 15, which applies to new orders and rescales only — existing contracts keep their terms. The June standardization renamed dedicated server models (-1, -2 and -3 suffixes, plus a -1-Ltd limited line) and left the cloud plan names unchanged; the older CX22/CX32/CX42 names went before it. Server Auction, IPs, storage, Load Balancers, Volumes, Snapshots and Object Storage were excluded from the June round. New accounts can get €50 of credit with Hetzner's sign-up code (hetzner.com/promo-code), valid only for the billing period in which it is redeemed.

Hetzner blocks outgoing ports 25 and 465 on all cloud servers by default. (From docs.hetzner.com/cloud/servers/faq, read 2026-10-04.)
After a month and a paid first invoice, you can ask Hetzner to unblock ports 25 and 465; it decides case by case. (From docs.hetzner.com/cloud/servers/faq, read 2026-10-04.)
Port 587 to external mail services is open. (From docs.hetzner.com/cloud/servers/faq, read 2026-10-04.)
Each Hetzner account has a default limit on how many cloud resources it can run at once, shown on the Limits tab of the Hetzner Console; Hetzner does not publish the number, and no new server can be created once the limit is reached. (From docs.hetzner.com/cloud/general/faq, read 2026-10-08.)
You can ask to raise the limit in the Hetzner Console only after a month with Hetzner and a paid first invoice, and Hetzner reviews each request by hand. (From docs.hetzner.com/cloud/servers/faq, read 2026-10-08.)
Hetzner bills a cloud server for as long as it exists, even while it is powered off; only deleting it stops the charge. (From docs.hetzner.com/cloud/billing/faq, read 2026-10-07.)
Cloud servers are billed by the hour, rounded up to a whole hour, and never more than the plan's monthly price. (From docs.hetzner.com/cloud/billing/faq, read 2026-10-07.)
Outgoing traffic beyond a server's included amount costs €1.00 per TB in the EU and the US, and €7.40 per TB in Singapore. Hetzner bills overage in 100 MB blocks. It emails the project owner when usage passes 75% of the included traffic. (From docs.hetzner.com/cloud/billing/faq, read 2026-10-08.)
Backups cost 20% of the server's monthly price minus its €0.50 IPv4 address. A CPX22 with backups and IPv4 costs €23.89 a month; backups are €3.90. (From hetzner.com/cloud/regular-performance, read 2026-10-08.)
Backups are automatic daily copies of the server's disk. Each server has seven backup slots; when all seven are full, the oldest is deleted when a new one is made. Backups are deleted with the server. (From docs.hetzner.com/cloud/servers/backups-snapshots/faq, read 2026-10-08.)
Snapshots cost €0.0143 per GB a month, so a 40 GB snapshot costs about €0.57 a month. Snapshots are kept until deleted. By default an account can hold up to 30 snapshots across all its projects. (From docs.hetzner.com/cloud/servers/backups-snapshots/faq, read 2026-10-08.)
Object Storage costs €6.49 a month ($7.99) for 1 TB storage (up to 744 TB-hours) and 1 TB egress. Storage beyond that costs €0.0087 per TB-hour ($0.0123), or about €6.47 per TB for a 31-day month. Egress beyond 1 TB costs €1.00 per TB ($1.20). (From hetzner.com/storage/object-storage, read 2026-10-08.)
The base price is billed for every hour at least one bucket exists, even if it is empty. Unused quota does not carry over. Objects smaller than 64 KB are billed as 64 KB. (From hetzner.com/storage/object-storage, read 2026-10-08.)
Volumes (block storage) cost €0.0572 per GB a month ($0.0767), billed hourly up to that monthly price, from 10 GB to 10 TB in 1 GB steps. A 100 GB Volume costs €5.72 a month. Before 1 April 2026 the price was €0.044 per GB. (From docs.hetzner.com/cloud/volumes/overview, read 2026-10-10.)
A Volume can be made larger at any time but never smaller. (From hetzner.com/cloud/block-storage, read 2026-10-10.)
Storage Boxes cost €3.20 a month for 1 TB (BX11), €10.90 for 5 TB, €20.80 for 10 TB and €40.60 for 20 TB, billed hourly up to that monthly price, with no setup fee. (From docs.hetzner.com/storage/storage-box/general, read 2026-10-10.)
Hetzner's prices are net, so VAT is added by the customer's country of residence: 19% in Germany, and each EU country's own rate for EU customers without a valid VAT ID. (From docs.hetzner.com/general/billing-and-account-management/billing-at-hetzner/value-added-tax, read 2026-10-08.)
An EU business with a valid VAT ID is invoiced without VAT under the reverse-charge procedure. (From docs.hetzner.com/general/billing-and-account-management/billing-at-hetzner/value-added-tax, read 2026-10-08.)
Outside the EU, Hetzner adds tax only in the United Kingdom (20%), Switzerland (8.1%), Norway, Australia, Singapore, South Africa and five US states (Texas, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico); everyone else pays none. (From docs.hetzner.com/general/billing-and-account-management/billing-at-hetzner/value-added-tax, read 2026-10-08.)
When you create a Hetzner account, you choose euros or US dollars. You cannot change the currency later; to change it, you must open a new account and move your products. (From docs.hetzner.com/general/billing-and-account-management/billing-at-hetzner/payment-overview, read 2026-10-08.)
Hetzner takes credit cards, SEPA direct debit, bank transfer and PayPal. Visa, Mastercard and Amex cards and SEPA direct debit are charged automatically; UnionPay, bank transfer and PayPal are paid by hand. SEPA direct debit is only for euro accounts. Not all methods are available in every country. (From docs.hetzner.com/general/billing-and-account-management/billing-at-hetzner/payment-overview, read 2026-10-08.)
Hetzner may ask a new customer to verify the account before it processes an order, with a government ID or an advance payment by the customer's own credit card. (From docs.hetzner.com/general/security-and-identify/fraud-prevention-faq, read 2026-10-07.)
A cloud server can run with only an IPv6 address. Hetzner charges €0.50 a month for a Primary IPv4, and nothing for a Primary IPv6, so an IPv6-only server costs €0.50 a month less than the same server with IPv4. (From docs.hetzner.com/cloud/servers/primary-ips/overview, read 2026-10-10.)
A server with only an IPv6 address has no public IPv4 connectivity. (From docs.hetzner.com/cloud/servers/primary-ips/faq, read 2026-10-10.)
Private Networks, and the traffic on their private interfaces, are free. (From docs.hetzner.com/cloud/networks/faq, read 2026-10-10.)
Cloud Firewalls are free. (From docs.hetzner.com/cloud/firewalls/overview, read 2026-10-10.)

Pricing Change History (4 recorded)

corrected effective 2026-10-01 medium impact

Data correction - We had said Hetzner's April 2026 increase was 30-50% for cloud and dedicated servers and given a DRAM figure as Hetzner's reason. Hetzner's table shows cloud servers up 30-37% and dedicated servers up 2-21%, and its statement gives no percentage and no memory price. Source ↗

Before: pricing_restructured dated 2026-04-01, summarised as a 30-50% rise on cloud and dedicated servers, with a DRAM figure given as Hetzner's reason

After: Same record and date, summarised from Hetzner's table: cloud servers +30-37%, load balancers +31-39%, Object Storage base price +30%, dedicated servers +2-21%, Server Auction servers +3%

corrected effective 2026-09-26 medium impact

Data correction - We called Hetzner's CX and CAX plans its shared-vCPU line and filed CPX under dedicated vCPUs. CPX (Regular Performance) also runs on shared resources and rose 144-175%, and Singapore prices rose 51-111%, less than the EU's. Source ↗

Before: Recorded as: Hetzner's second 2026 adjustment, effective 15 June, moved the two cloud lines at very different rates: shared-vCPU plans rose 30-38% (CX23 €3.99→€5.49, CAX11 €4.49→€5.99) and dedicated-vCPU plans rose 113-175% (CPX22 €7.99→€19.49, CCX13 €15.99→€42.99, CCX53 €249.99→€533.49). EU figures, taken from Hetzner's own old/new table and excluding the €0.50/mo primary IPv4 that hetzner.com's plan cards include in their displayed price. Scope: all dedicated servers and cloud plans at all locations, for new orders and rescales only — existing contracts keep their terms. Excluded: web hosting, managed servers, Server Auction, IPs, storage products, Load Balancers, Volumes, Snapshots and Object Storage. Setup fees on most dedicated servers were cut at the same time. Read on 2026-09-04: every Cost-Optimized plan (CX23-CX53, CAX11-CAX41) is marked "not available" on hetzner.com, so the line that rose least is the line nobody can order.

After: "Shared Resources Best price-performance ratio Regular Performance Inexpensive due to shared resources"

restructured effective 2026-06-15 high impact

From 2026-06-15, for new orders and rescales, Hetzner's EU cloud prices excluding IPv4 rose 30-38% on Cost-Optimized CX/CAX, 144-175% on Regular Performance CPX (shared resources) and 113-173% on General Purpose CCX (dedicated vCPUs). Existing contracts kept their terms. New dedicated servers also rose: the AX42 and AX102 cost €97.30 and €257.30 from 30 June, up from €57.30 and €122.30 after April in Germany. Source ↗

Before: EU prices excluding IPv4 after the April 2026 adjustment: CX23 €3.99/mo, CX33 €6.49, CX43 €11.99, CX53 €22.49, CAX11 €4.49, CPX22 €7.99, CPX62 €50.49, CCX13 €15.99, CCX63 €374.49. Cost-Optimized, Regular Performance and General Purpose plans all orderable.

After: EU prices excluding IPv4 from 2026-06-15: CX23 €5.49 (+37.6%), CX33 €8.49 (+30.8%), CX43 €15.99 (+33.4%), CX53 €29.49 (+31.1%), CAX11 €5.99 (+33.4%), CPX22 €19.49 (+143.9%), CPX62 €129.99 (+157.5%), CCX13 €42.99 (+168.9%), CCX63 €853.49 (+127.9%). US prices rose 107-209% and Singapore 51-111%. From 15 June, new AX42 and AX102 cost €187.30 and €452.30 a month. On 30 June, Hetzner cut them to €97.30 and €257.30. Setup fees on most dedicated servers were cut. Read on 2026-09-04: every Cost-Optimized plan (CX23-CX53, CAX11-CAX41) is marked "not available".

restructured effective 2026-04-01 high impact

Hetzner raised prices on 2026-04-01 for new orders and existing products: cloud servers by 30-37% (CX23 €2.99 to €3.99 a month in Germany and Finland), load balancers by 31-39%, Object Storage's base price by 30%, dedicated servers by 2-21% and Server Auction servers by 3%. Superseded 2026-06-15: Hetzner ran a second adjustment across all cloud and dedicated lines, applying to new orders and rescales only. Read from hetzner.com on 2026-09-03: CX23 is €5.99 and is marked "not available", as is every other Cost-Optimized plan, and the cheapest orderable plan is CPX12 at €11.99/mo. Source ↗

Before: Lower cloud server pricing across Germany, Finland, US, and Singapore data centers (e.g., CX23 at €2.99/mo)

After: Hetzner's table for 1 April 2026, in euros excluding VAT: cloud servers +30% to +37% (CX23 €2.99 to €3.99 a month and CAX11 €3.29 to €4.49 in Germany and Finland), load balancers +31% to +39%, Object Storage base price +30%, dedicated servers +2% to +21% (AX42 €44.30 to €52.30 in Finland) and Server Auction servers +3%, "for both new orders and existing products" (docs.hetzner.com, archived 2026-05-13)
