At TransIP, we believe it is important that you can rely on fast, stable, and secure services at a fair price. At the same time, the costs we incur to maintain our level of service are changing. This includes rising rates for hardware, software, and data centers, as well as higher personnel and operational costs.
A major factor behind these current cost increases is the sharp rise in global demand for computer memory. Since 2025, this demand has surged significantly, driven in part by the rapid growth of AI applications such as ChatGPT and Claude. These applications require large amounts of specialized memory. Consequently, manufacturers are dedicating an increasing share of their production capacity to memory for AI systems, leaving less capacity available for standard server memory. This has led to global shortages and higher prices—affecting not only TransIP, but the entire hosting and cloud sector.
This trend has continued into 2026. For TransIP, rising memory costs have become one of the most significant drivers of our increased expenses. Furthermore, the availability and price trajectory of memory remain uncertain for the period ahead.
To offset these and other rising costs, we are adjusting our rates. This ensures that we can continue to provide the quality, reliability, and service you have come to expect from us.
We understand that a price increase is never welcome. For this reason, we provide advance notice of any changes, and you can find an overview of the new rates at transip.nl/prijzen.
