Key Insight
Hetzner's pricing was raised significantly for new/recreated servers as of Jul 2026. The API returns inflated rates. Core's equivalent compute (8C/16G) at Hetzner would be CPX42 at $79/mo vs **€18/mo ($20.52)** on netcup RS 2000 — a ~74% savings.
Strategy: Consolidate Hetzner workloads onto netcup rather than provisioning new Hetzner servers. Freed-up existing Hetzner boxes can be reused for standby duty without incurring the inflated pricing.
