Just asking: it'd be nice to have some discount based on committing (and maybe pre-paying) on resources.

I'm evaluating moving some of my personal stuff to Hetzner and if I do so I'd likely stay there for years.

It'd be nice to be able to commit to, say, keep a virtual server (or some block storage) for one year (or more?) and get a nice discount.

Any chance we'll see something like that in the future?

To the best of my knowledge, we do not provide discounts for agreeing to longer contracts, and we don't plan to do so in the near future. We try very hard to keep our base prices as low as possible and hope that customers will choose to stay with us because they have a positive experience. Depending on your use case and how many resources you need, it may be worthwhile looking at some of our dedicated servers, which you can use together with our cloud servers. For example, if you want a server with beefier storage, you could get a dedicated server and put it in a private network together with your cloud servers. Many of our cloud servers have setup fees, but VERY low monthly fees. So over time, the longer you use a dedicated server, the more you save. We also have dedicated servers on our Server Auction that have NO setup fees. Dedicated servers: https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/ Server Auction: https://www.hetzner.com/sb/ --Katie
