Europe's budget cloud after the June 2026 price hike: the cheap CX line survives, the CPX line no longer is.
Hetzner — Europe's budget cloud after the June 2026 price hike: the cheap CX line survives, the CPX line no longer is. Pricing: CX23 from €5.49/mo (2 vCPU / 4 GB, EU — often out of stock since Oct 2026); CPX22 €19.49/mo (~$22.99 incl. IPv4); US prices higher — check official site. Our take: Hetzner is still the value pick for EU-based self-hosters who can catch a CX23 in stock — €5.49/mo for 2 vCPU / 4 GB with 20 TB of traffic has no rival. But the June 2026 hike changed the story: the CPX22 most people actually buy now costs €19.49/mo, roughly the same as Vultr or DigitalOcean at the same spec. If your users are near its regions and you can run the box yourself, Hetzner still wins on traffic allowance; if you need guaranteed stock, US regions, or managed services, look at Vultr or DigitalOcean instead.
