Hetzner prices read from hetzner.com on 5 August 2026, in EUR, excluding VAT. We quote Hetzner's base price; their own pages show a higher figure (€5.99, €8.99, €16.49, €29.99) because each bundles the €0.50/mo primary IPv4, which Luxvps includes. Hetzner backup surcharge is +20% of the base price. All eight Cost-Optimized CX plans are currently marked not available; the cheapest 8 GB plan Hetzner will actually sell you is the CPX32 at €35.49/mo, over five times our €6.95. Luxvps prices are final: the price shown is the price you pay, with no setup fee and no required add-ons.
