First Hetzner, now OVH: Game server hosting prices are skyrocketing. For gamers, it's time to consider alternatives.
The Price Spiral Is Turning
OVH founder Octave Klaba recently confirmed: Prices for RAM, CPUs, and storage have exploded. OVH is now paying six times more for RAM compared to June 2025 – and projections show it reaching nine to twelve times by early 2027.
The result: Price hikes of up to 50% on VPS products, with Hetzner following suit at up to 37% on cloud instances.
For gamers relying on stable game servers, this hits hard.
The Problem with "Slots" – and Why Nitrado & G Portal Aren't the Gold Standard
Many providers like Nitrado or G Portal sell game servers based on "slots" – a hypothetical player count. A "50-slot Minecraft server" tells you absolutely nothing about actual performance. Once many mods or large chunks are loaded, performance crashes – you're paying for thin air.
At NexoraHost, you rent real resources: CPU cores and RAM. No opaque slots, no hidden limits. You know exactly what you're paying for.
