First of all, we wish you all happy holidays. Here is a small gift for our loyal members.

With 2024 coming to an end, you know what that means for your services and subscriptions.

Time for another round of price hikes and indexation, here are some examples that we encountered so far:

That aging dedicated server?
+3.8%, even though it's depreciated instead of appreciated: 👴🏻

Your domain name?
+10%, probably caused by another acquisition: 🤵🏻‍♂️

Your products in the supermarket?
+0%, you just get 15% less, also known as "graaiflatie": 📈

Power for your colocation?
+5%, and your inlet temperature has been raised to 27°c 🔥 meaning the DC has already increased their profit margin significantly: 🤑

Your mobile plan?
+2.3%, while bandwidth is getting cheaper: 💲

Streaming platforms?
Pay more or watch ads. Content scattered across platforms: ✅

But let's end it positively:

Your ERA-IX membership?
+0%, no indexation, but more features: 🤠

Why is ERA-IX different?

By employing new technology we are able to nullify rising prices haunting our sector. Advanced automation reduces the man-hours required to perform tasks, new equipment saves power per delivered capacity and, increased scale reduces business overhead.

By not being squeezed by investors and stakeholders we can keep pricing honest for the level of service we provide, meaning with increased members and features your services with ERA-IX effectively appreciate over time.

We would like to thank all our members for the support, making ERA-IX what it is today!
