I am hosting one of my relay in Japan. When I start my pool about a year ago, at that time the cost to running a relay is about $20 /month, using 4C and 4GB RAM. Due to requirement of node, I upgrade the service to 6C and 16GB RAM. As for today, I got billed for $80 / month just to run 1 relay node. Are any of you got same experience?

I can recommend Contabo too. Also Contabo doesn’t require you to lodge your passport documents and proof of home address details which I think is an invasion of privacy - unlike Netcup.

I’ll give it a shot next epoch… I already check the price is just 1/3 from the one that I use right now.
Thanks a lot.

Yes, VPS costs in Japan have risen, especially with higher CPU and RAM needs. Many providers adjusted pricing due to demand and infrastructure costs. Comparing multiple hosts can help find better value.
