Hosting provider KVMka has announced an upcoming revision of its tariff grid, effective October 15, 2026. The company characterizes this decision as a forced measure dictated by a substantial increase in infrastructure and equipment costs. Such phrasing has become an industry classic: providers announce price hikes with the exact same facial expression they wore when previously promising eternal uptime. According to the developers, without this step, guaranteeing high quality and service reliability in the future will simply be impossible.
The Mathematics of the Price Hike
In addition to adjusting the cost of existing plans (with increases of up to 50%), the lineup will feature entirely new tariff lines. For clarity, the updated monthly cost of basic configurations is provided below.

Detailed information regarding the specifications of the new and updated tariffs has already been published on the company's official website. Clients will have to come to terms with the fact that inflation and hardware upgrades wait for no one, and the next hosting invoices will arrive with updated arithmetic. One can only hope that for this money, the virtual machines will actually start working more stably, rather than just becoming more expensive.
