Mon, 22 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT<p>Welcome to the paasbox blog. This is where we’ll post <strong>product news</strong>: new features, meaningful changes, and the occasional note on what we’re building and why.</p> <p>paasbox runs managed Kubernetes on <strong>your own</strong> Hetzner Cloud account — you keep your grandfathered pricing, we provision and operate the control plane and node pools as software. As that platform grows, this blog is how you’ll hear about it first.</p> <div><h2 id="what-to-expect-here">What to expect here</h2></div> <ul> <li><strong>New features</strong> — when something ships, we’ll explain what it does and how to use it.</li> <li><strong>Changes worth knowing about</strong> — defaults, upgrades, and anything that affects how your clusters run.</li> <li><strong>The thinking behind it</strong> — short notes on the trade-offs we make, so you know what we optimise for.</li> </ul> <p>For step-by-step how-tos on running workloads, see the <a href="https://paasbox.com/guides/">Guides</a>.

Here's why paasbox keeps your existing servers in place — and your old rate with them. Mon, 15 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT<p>As of <strong>15 June 2026</strong>, Hetzner has raised list prices on new orders. If you already run servers, your existing ones keep their old rate — but that rate only survives for as long as those exact servers do.</p> <p>That detail matters more on Kubernetes than people expect, and it’s the reason paasbox works the way it does.</p> <div><h2 id="why-kubernetes-usually-loses-your-old-price">Why Kubernetes usually loses your old price</h2></div> <p>Kubernetes treats worker nodes as cattle: every upgrade, autoscale event, or node failure tends to <strong>delete and recreate</strong> them. On a normal setup, each recreated node is a brand-new order — at the <strong>new</strong> price. Within a few weeks of routine operations, your grandfathered rate is quietly gone, even though you never intentionally changed anything.</p> <div><h2 id="what-paasbox-does-instead">What paasbox does instead</h2></div> <p>paasbox <strong>preserves your existing servers in place</strong> wherever it can — rebuilt, not deleted — so the servers that carry your old rate stay on your account through cluster operations. The result: your locked-in price survives the normal churn of running Kubernetes, instead of eroding with every node cycle.</p> <p>You can see the difference for your own setup with the <strong>savings calculator</strong> on the <a href="https://paasbox.com/">home page</a>, and the full mechanics are written up in <a href="https://paasbox.com/docs/grandfathered-pricing/">Grandfathered pricing</a>.</p> <div><h2 id="the-short-version">The short version</h2></div> <ul> <li>Hetzner’s old prices are tied to the <strong>specific servers</strong> you already have.</li> <li>Standard Kubernetes churns nodes, so it churns away your old price.</li> <li>paasbox keeps those servers in place — so you keep the rate.</li> </ul> <p>If you’re already on Hetzner, this is the moment that price protection is worth the most.</p>announcementspricing
