It says:

Customers don't have to wonder whether an offer is good enough, because every offer is the best we can make.

That is exactly how I negotiate prices.
I like that.

I'm sure Hetzner is trying their best, but there's only so much they can do.

How's their new pricing compare to the their (equal) competitors?

Much more conservative, I suspect ovh expects ROI in 5 years Hetzner probably 3 maybe less or they are hedging and planning year on year increases.

I expect annual (if not quarterly - depending on the inflation rates) price hikes.

For Hetzner, probably, but I think OVH will struggle to do a 85% increase each year, and exist in 3 years.

I agree that it might be 12 to 24 moths, I would not cross 24 months.

I am confident nether does OVH or any other large size operator. At that scale, no one burns $$ on hardware that get's devalued to nothing in 5 years, it just does not fit the math.

At that scale we are talking of 50-100K / Month in HW or more? now why on earth would you wait 5 years? or 3?
