We rent our servers from Ionos and price hike came as a complete surprise. Luckily Ionos took some of the increase on themselves, but had I been ready with different provider I'd switch in a blink. It seems price hike was a surprise to Ionos as well and am sure as hell hoping they are working on adding another hypervisor.
