Popular web host Hetzner significantly lowers bandwidth for US-based VPSs. Several people on Hacker News and X-formerly-known-as-Twitter complained that Hetzner raised the rates of their US-based VPSs while simultaneously reducing bandwidth (traffic) limits from 20TB to as low as 2TB.
The most likely reason for this is that Hetzner's "loss leaders" are causing too large a loss.
Interesting observation, Darko. The conversation around Hetzner’s bandwidth changes is blowing up across multiple tech communities right now. If you decide to dig deeper into this topic, Reddit might actually be one of the best places to surface insights, subreddits like r/selfhosted, r/sysadmin, and r/homelab are already discussing these kinds of shifts heavily.
I help founders and tech writers get their posts in front of the right Reddit audiences without getting flagged, especially when the topic is already trending. If you’d like, I can share the specific subreddits and angles that drive meaningful engagement for posts like this.
