Hetzner CX23 Pricing (Formerly CX22) for 2027: Every Cloud Plan and What You Can Order

If you are searching for Hetzner CX22 pricing, the first thing to know is that CX22 is no longer a plan you can order. Hetzner replaced it with CX23 in October 2025, with the same specs, and both of Hetzner's 2026 price rises (covered in Hetzner raised prices twice in 2026) then applied to CX23. This page is the reference version going into 2027: every Hetzner Cloud plan and its price, and, just as important right now, whether you can actually order one.

Every price below was checked on Hetzner's own plan pages on 30 October 2026. Prices are monthly, in euros, excluding VAT, and include the €0.50 charge for a primary IPv4 address. Confirm the live number on Hetzner's pricing page before you commit.

The short answer for 2027

• CX22 is now CX23: 2 shared vCPUs, 4 GB RAM, 40 GB NVMe, 20 TB traffic, €5.99/month (€5.49 without IPv4).
• Cheapest Hetzner Cloud server: the new CPX02, added on 6 October 2026, with 1 vCPU and 1 GB RAM for €6.49/month. CX23 is cheaper, but has 4 GB RAM and is much harder to get.
• No 2027 price change announced yet. As of 30 October 2026, Hetzner has not published new prices for 2027. The prices below are what you pay for a new server today.
• Ordering is restricted. Since 26 June 2026, Hetzner has limited the creation of new cloud servers for new customers and some existing ones. More on that below.

CX22 is now CX23: same server, new name, higher price

CX23 has exactly the specification CX22 had: 2 shared vCPUs on Intel or AMD, 4 GB of RAM, 40 GB of NVMe storage and 20 TB of included monthly traffic in the EU locations. Only the name and the price changed, through the April 1 adjustment and the June 15 standardisation round in 2026. Together they raised the Cost-Optimized line by roughly 30 percent.

Cost-Optimized (CX) and Arm (CAX) prices

This is the line CX22 belonged to. These plans run on older hardware generations that Hetzner keeps in service to hold prices down, with shared vCPUs. Prices are for Falkenstein, Nuremberg and Helsinki; these plans are not offered in the US or Singapore.

Regular Performance (CPX) prices, including the new CPX02

CPX runs on AMD EPYC processors. Its vCPUs are shared, like CX, but on newer hardware, and the plans come with twice the disk of the matching CX plan. This is the line Hetzner extended downwards in October with CPX02, its first 1 GB plan in the current lineup. EU prices (Falkenstein, Nuremberg, Helsinki):

A 1 GB server is enough for a static site, a small WordPress blog or a single lightweight container, with a swap file for safety. Canonical lists 1.5 GB as the starting point for Ubuntu Server 26.04, so for Laravel with a queue worker, or WooCommerce, start at 2 GB or more.

Outside the EU: US and Singapore prices

The 20 TB traffic allowance applies only to the EU locations. In Singapore the same CPX plans cost more and include less traffic. The US locations (Ashburn and Hillsboro) use an older CPX lineup with different specs:

Dedicated vCPU (CCX) plans

If you need CPU performance that doesn't depend on your neighbours, Hetzner's General Purpose line (CCX) gives you dedicated vCPUs, starting at €43.49/month. For a typical PHP, WordPress or Docker site, shared vCPUs are fine; shared vs dedicated vCPU explains how to tell when you need more.

Can you actually order one? Hetzner's restriction on new servers

This is the part that matters most going into 2027. Since 26 June 2026, Hetzner's status page has carried an open incident, "Limited availability of cloud instances". It says that, because of high demand and a shortage of hardware components, provisioning is "only possible to a limited extent". Hetzner is restricting the creation of new cloud servers for new customers and some existing customers, chosen at random.

Hetzner's Cloud FAQ explains what an affected account cannot do at a restricted location:

• create new cloud servers;
• rescale (resize) existing servers;
• move existing servers to another account.

The FAQ suggests trying again the following day. The restrictions are temporary and lifted automatically, but can come back while demand stays high. Servers you already run are not affected and keep running normally.

On 30 October 2026, Hetzner's own Cost-Optimized and Regular Performance pages showed every plan as unavailable. An independent tracker that polls Hetzner's API (hetzner.thegoated.dev) told a more mixed story the same day: CPX02, CPX12 and CPX22 available in Nuremberg, Falkenstein, Helsinki and Singapore, CX23 "limited" in Nuremberg and Falkenstein, and CAX11 sold out everywhere. So whether you can order depends both on stock in a location and on whether your account is currently restricted.

Why Hetzner is short of servers

The Cost-Optimized line deliberately runs on older hardware kept in service to keep prices low, which caps how many of these servers Hetzner can offer. On top of that, memory (DRAM) and storage (NAND) prices rose sharply through 2026, largely because of demand from AI data centres. That made new hardware more expensive and slower to get, and it is the same reason Hetzner, OVHcloud and Netcup all raised prices this year.

What to do if you can't order the plan you want

• Try another location, then another day. Stock changes independently in Falkenstein, Nuremberg and Helsinki, and Hetzner's FAQ suggests retrying the next day if your account is restricted.
• Take the next CPX plan up. If CX23 is gone but CPX is available, CPX22 matches its vCPU and RAM for €19.99. CPX02 or CPX12 may be enough for a small site.
• Keep a second provider in mind. If you are a new customer and need a server this week, DigitalOcean, Vultr and Akamai (Linode) have not had a comparable shortage. Our plan-for-plan price comparison shows what the same 1, 2 and 4 GB servers cost there.
• Don't delete a server you might want back. While restrictions are in place, a server you delete may not be easy to recreate. Rebuild or reinstall in place instead.

Will Hetzner raise prices again in 2027?

As of 30 October 2026, Hetzner has not announced any 2027 price change. In 2026 it announced both rounds in its press room a few weeks before they took effect, and the June round applied to newly ordered servers. The pressure behind those rises, memory and storage costs, has not gone away, so I would budget with some margin rather than assume €5.99 for CX23 holds all year. We will update this page as soon as Hetzner announces anything.

FAQ

Is CX23 more expensive than the old CX22 was?
Yes. The April and June 2026 adjustments raised the Cost-Optimized line by roughly 30 percent in total. The specs did not change.

Will my existing CX22 server be switched to CX23?
No. A server you already run keeps its plan and configuration. New prices apply to new orders and to rescaling.

Does the restriction affect servers I already have?
No. Running servers are not affected. If your account is restricted at a location, though, you can't create or resize servers there until the restriction lifts.

Is CPX a dedicated-CPU plan?
No. Hetzner labels both Cost-Optimized (CX) and Regular Performance (CPX) as shared vCPUs. CPX runs on newer AMD EPYC hardware. Dedicated vCPUs are the CCX line, from €43.49.

Is Hetzner still cheaper than DigitalOcean or Vultr?
For 4 GB of RAM, by far, if you can get CX23: €5.99 against $20–24 elsewhere. At 1 GB, CPX02 at €6.49 costs about the same as DigitalOcean ($6) or Vultr ($5), but includes 20 TB of traffic against 1 TB. Our 2027 comparison has the full tables.

Can I automate ordering when stock returns?
Yes. If you provision through the Hetzner API or Terraform, retrying on a schedule works better than refreshing the console. It won't help if your account itself is restricted at that location.

Bottom line

CX22 pricing is CX23 pricing now: €5.99 a month including IPv4 for 2 vCPUs, 4 GB RAM and 40 GB NVMe, still the cheapest 4 GB server of any major provider going into 2027. The cheapest Hetzner server overall is the new CPX02 at €6.49. The real question for 2027 is not the price but whether Hetzner will let you order: check the status page, try more than one location, and have a fallback ready if you need a server by a deadline.

Update, 30 October 2026: updated for 2027. Added the new CPX02 plan and full CPX, US and Singapore price tables, Hetzner's restriction on new customers creating servers, and the 2027 price outlook. Corrected CPX to shared vCPUs (it was described as dedicated). Earlier update, 17 October 2026: corrected when CX22 was replaced by CX23 and clarified that listed prices include the €0.50 IPv4 charge.
