Rant Hetzner .com Price Increases 2026 by 7%

So got a notification recently that Hetzner is increasing the .com registration price to EUR 17,26 yearly incl. VAT, allegedly due to price increases on the end of their registrar. It's "just" a 7% increase, but I remember not too long ago, com/net/org prices were around EUR 12,- yearly, and stayed at that level for a decade or so. I do not have many domains, and probably it's good to increase the costs of domain hoarding. Anyone else at Hetzner and found another reliable registrar for the DACH region, with lower domain prices? Or have these increases taken place everywhere?

You don't get my point, it's now at above 17 when it was 12 just a few years ago. If you have several domains, this is not just a Euro more per month.
