OVH's own post: an Advance-1 Gen 2024 renews at $114.99 instead of $89.99 (+28%). RAM options on new orders are up 68% to 652%, the Game range up to 87%. The stated reason is DDR5 costing six times what it did a year ago.
Hetzner did the same in February and June, both threads had 500+ points here.
I run a small PHP hosting company, so I am biased. But I wonder: Who here still runs OVH or Hetzner dedicated boxes?

So if buying hardware makes sense, go for it over renting a server. You only pay the memory tax one time.
