Is Hetzner's CCX43 the best deal?

Cloud Servers · $325.49/mo (64 GB RAM, 16 vCPU, 360 GB NVMe, 20000 GB transfer)

Better deals exist

Hetzner CCX43 is expensive at $325.49/mo, especially given recent 2.1-2.73x price hikes on the CCX line. Several providers offer comparable or better specs at 1/3 to 1/2 the price, though most lock you into multi-year contracts with steep renewal penalties.

AMD Ryzen 12 Cores (Dedicated Server)

$103.68/mosave 68%

Matches Hetzner's 64GB RAM and storage (1TB NVMe vs 360GB), adds 12 physical cores vs 16 vCPU, unlimited traffic, and costs less than 1/3 the price.

Caveat: 24-month prepay required at this rate; 12-month term costs ~EUR 82.40/mo (~$90); fair usage policy on unlimited traffic; ticket-only support on base tier.

Cloud VDS XL (Max Performance VPS)

$111.23/mosave 66%

64GB RAM, 480GB NVMe, 8 guaranteed cores, unlimited traffic at 1/3 Hetzner's price; better value per GB than CCX43.

Caveat: 24-month prepay at this rate; only 8 cores vs Hetzner's 16 vCPU; fair usage policy applies; ticket-only support.

Cloud VPS Plus 12 (Performance VPS)

$54.16/mosave 83%

48GB RAM, 600GB NVMe, 12 cores, unlimited traffic at 1/6 Hetzner's price; excellent value if you don't need 16 vCPU.

Caveat: 24-month prepay required; 12 cores and 48GB RAM vs Hetzner's 16 vCPU and 64GB; fair usage policy; ticket-only support.

VPS L (Self-Managed)

$54.98/mosave 83%

16 vCPU, 32GB RAM, 640GB NVMe, 1TB transfer at 1/6 Hetzner's price; matches vCPU count and offers comparable storage.

Caveat: Intro pricing only; renewal rates reported at 2-3x higher; only 1TB transfer vs Hetzner's 20TB; medium confidence sourcing.

VPS 16 vCPU

$44.99/mosave 86%

16 vCPU, 32GB RAM, 460GB NVMe, unlimited transfer, DDoS protection at 1/7 Hetzner's price; strong value on 3-year term.

Caveat: 3-year prepay required at this rate; renewal jumps to ~$131.99/mo (nearly 3x); only 32GB RAM vs Hetzner's 64GB; 460GB vs 360GB storage.

Before you switch

Hetzner CCX prices jumped 2.1-2.73x in June 2026; verify current pricing and check if further increases are planned.
All Contabo quotes require 24-month prepay; 12-month terms cost 15-30% more per month; confirm your commitment tolerance.
Hosting.com and InMotion Hosting intro prices are traps: renewal rates are 2-3x higher after the initial term expires.
Contabo's 'unlimited traffic' is subject to fair usage throttling; verify your expected bandwidth needs don't trigger abuse limits.
None of the alternatives match Hetzner's full 64GB RAM + 16 vCPU + 360GB NVMe + 20TB transfer combo; prioritize which specs matter most to you.
