Setup as many websites as you need for a single monthly fee.
If you have a significant amount of domains and are looking for a cost-effective way to grow your business, then the Volume Plan is for you. For a single monthly fee of R595 you get unlimited Home & Business packages all under one plan. No longer are you bound to quotas associated to each package type. The accumulation of traffic and disk usage across all included packages is set off against the Volume Plan’s generous quotas. Should you exceed the Volume Plan's quotas, Hetzner is able to offer competitive over-usage charges.
- R595 per month (Once off setup fee is R199)
- Unlimited domains
- SA Traffic quota: 10 GB
- DE Traffic quota: 700 GB
- Disk Space: 50 GB
- Traffic over-usage: R0.08 per MB (SA); R15 per GB (DE)
Benefits of the Volume Plan:
- Scalability: the more individual Home and Business packages you include in a Volume Plan, the more the aggregate cost per package is reduced, which is ideal for Hetzner’s Reseller customers.
- Instant account activation: there are no server migration costs or DNS co-ordination for Web Hosting packages that are included in the Volume Plan. All individual hosting packages are included by default once you have placed your order for a Volume Plan.
- Flexibility: individual hosting packages can be included or excluded from the Volume Plan at the click of a mouse via konsoleH™, allowing you to choose the most cost-effective environment for a particular website project.
- Predictable traffic costs: Volume Plan customers benefit from the reduced risk of exposure to unanticipated traffic costs as Web Hosting customers only pay for traffic associated to a specific domain. By contrast, dedicated hosting customers are charged for ALL traffic generated on their server.
- Increased Uptime: individual hosting packages within the Volume Plan are distributed across Hetzner's servers, instead of residing on a single server.
- Reduced barrier to entry: the economies of scale benefit offered by a Managed Dedicated server is now available within a Volume Plan, but at a much lower cost. Once you resell a few hundred hosting accounts, a Managed Dedicated server may prove more cost-effective.
- Better cost management: you can manage individual hosting packages via konsoleH. Using the traffic and disk reporting tools you can ascertain whether a particular domain has exceeded its hosting package quota, allowing you to invoice your customer the over-usage costs.
- Hosting package features retained: all characteristics of the individual Web Hosting packages that are included in your Volume Plan remain active.
- No setup fee: you don’t pay a setup fee when ordering a new Web Hosting package as it is automatically included in your Volume Plan.

If you are an existing Hetzner reseller, we’d like to encourage you to use the Cost Comparison tool in konsoleH (which can be found by clicking on the Admin tab and then clicking on Billing in the left hand menu) to find out if you will save on your monthly costs with the Volume Plan. The tool uses real billing information from your hosting profile to determine whether the Volume Plan is a cost-effective alternative for your business.
