Hetzner CX23 Pricing (Formerly CX22): Full 2026–2027 Price Tables

If you are searching for Hetzner CX22 pricing, the honest first answer is that CX22 does not exist as a plan you can order anymore. Hetzner renamed it to CX23 in June 2026, as part of a wider restructuring we covered in our post on Hetzner's two 2026 price increases. This post is the detailed reference version. Full current pricing tables for the whole lineup, a direct link to Hetzner's own live pricing page, and what is actually orderable right now, not just what is listed.

For the official numbers straight from the source, Hetzner's own pricing pages are here: Hetzner Cloud pricing overview and the Cost-Optimized plan page, which is where CX23 specifically lives. I would treat the tables below as a snapshot, correct as of when this was checked, and use those links to confirm the live number before you commit to anything.

CX22 is now CX23, same specs, higher price

The plan formerly known as CX22 kept its exact hardware specification through the rename. You still get 2 shared vCPUs on Intel or AMD, 4 GB of RAM, 40 GB of NVMe SSD storage, and 20 TB of included monthly traffic. Only the name and the price changed, reflecting both 2026 price increases: the broad April 1 adjustment and the June 15 standardization round.

Full Cost-Optimized and ARM pricing table

This is the entire Cost-Optimized (CX) and ARM (CAX) lineup, the tier CX22 belonged to, with current listed EU pricing.

Every row in that table has been listed as not available on Hetzner's own page during the stock shortage described below. A price is not the same thing as a plan you can actually order, which is the whole point of the next section.

The part that has nothing to do with pricing: you might not be able to buy one right now

I checked Hetzner's own live cost-optimized pricing page directly, and every single Cost-Optimized and ARM plan, CX23 through CX53, and all four CAX tiers, was marked not available, with the order button disabled. Hetzner's status page confirms this as a known, ongoing incident labeled limited availability of Cloud plans. Independent stock trackers watching Hetzner's API show CX23 cycling in and out of stock repeatedly across datacenters, sometimes restocking within twenty minutes, sometimes staying sold out for a few hours, differing by location.

Why Hetzner is actually out of stock, not just raising prices to slow demand

Hetzner explains the underlying reason directly on their own cost-optimized plan page. The Cost-Optimized line deliberately runs on older, proven hardware generations kept in service specifically to keep prices low. That caps the total number of these servers Hetzner can provision at any given moment. Industry-wide DRAM and NAND price surges through 2026, driven largely by AI infrastructure demand, made this worse, since Hetzner and competitors like OVHcloud and Netcup all raised prices for the same underlying reason around the same time.

What to actually buy if CX23 is unavailable

The Regular Performance (CPX) line, built on AMD EPYC, has stayed reliably orderable through this shortage. Here is how it compares on the specs closest to CX23.

CPX22 is the direct like-for-like replacement for CX23 on vCPU and RAM, at more than three times the price. CPX12 is smaller but is typically the cheapest thing you can actually buy when the entire cost-optimized line is sold out everywhere.

Three realistic options right now

• Try a different datacenter. Stock cycles independently per location. Falkenstein, Nuremberg, and Helsinki have each shown separate sold-out and restock events on the same day, so a plan unavailable in one may be orderable in another.
• Check back, or poll the API. Restocks have generally landed within twenty minutes to a few hours based on independent tracking data, not days.
• Step up to CPX22 temporarily. Real cost premium, but reliably available, with dedicated AMD EPYC hardware behind it.

I would not treat CPX as a permanent replacement for CX23 in your budget just because of a temporary stock issue. Once stock stabilizes, moving a workload back down to the cost-optimized tier is worth doing, since paying triple the price indefinitely defeats the reason to choose Hetzner in the first place.

What to expect going into 2027

Hetzner raised prices twice within 2026 alone, and the underlying pressure, DRAM and NAND costs tied to AI infrastructure demand, has not reversed. I would not assume the current €5.99 figure for CX23 is locked in through 2027. Treat every table in this post, including the ones above, as something to re-check against Hetzner's own live pricing page before you budget around it, rather than a number that is safe to assume a year from now. If another adjustment lands, I would expect the same pattern as 2026: existing contracts protected, new orders and rescales affected first.

FAQ

Is CX23 more expensive than the old CX22 was?
Yes. Combining the April and June 2026 adjustments, the cost-optimized line rose by roughly 30 percent total. The specs did not change, only the price and the plan name.

Will an existing CX22 server I already have get automatically switched to CX23?
No. An existing, running server keeps its original pricing and configuration. The rename and price increase apply to new orders and to resizing an existing server, not to a server you already have sitting untouched.

Does the stock shortage affect servers I already have running?
No, this specifically affects new orders. A CX23 server you already provisioned keeps running normally regardless of current stock status for new ones.

Is Hetzner still cheaper than DigitalOcean or AWS even with these price increases?
On the plans you can actually order right now, the gap has narrowed. CPX12 at €11.99 sits above DigitalOcean's $4 Basic Droplet and Vultr's $5 entry tier. Hetzner's real advantage today is further up the range, where CCX and CPX plans still undercut most competitors meaningfully per vCPU and RAM.

Should I automate around this stock issue with a script that retries the API?
If you are provisioning infrastructure programmatically, polling the Hetzner API for availability rather than manually refreshing the console is a reasonable approach, given how frequently stock has been cycling.

Bottom line

CX22 pricing is really CX23 pricing now: €5.99 a month for 2 vCPUs, 4 GB RAM, and 40 GB of NVMe storage, when you can actually order one. Right now, that is a real if. Check the tables above against Hetzner's own live pricing page before you plan around any specific number, check multiple datacenters before assuming full stock is gone, and know that CPX22 at €19.99 is sitting there as a more expensive but reliably available fallback if you cannot wait, whether it is 2026 or 2027 by the time you are reading this.
