Hidden costs to watch for	Machine prices vary by region -- the reference/base rates in this dataset are for the Amsterdam (ams) region; several regions carry a price premium Extra RAM beyond a preset's base allocation is billed separately (~$5 per 30 days per additional GB, prorated per-second) Stopped Machines still incur a rootfs storage charge of $0.15/GB per month Volume snapshots are billed at $0.08/GB per month above the first 10GB free per month Dedicated (non-shared) egress IPs are billed hourly (~$0.005/hr, ~$3.60/mo) in addition to the free shared IPv4 Cross-region private networking traffic is billed per GB and varies sharply by region group (Africa/India up to $0.12/GB egress) Wildcard/extra SSL certificates beyond the first 10 free per org are billed monthly	Displayed price is an introductory promo rate tied to prepaying a 12/24/48-month term; renewal price is 2-4x higher (e.g. VPS KVM 1 renews at $11.99/mo vs $6.49/mo intro) Monthly (1-month) billing is available but at a significantly higher per-month rate than any multi-month term Free domain is only free for the first year; renews at standard domain pricing Dedicated IP, extra backups, and some AI/Vibe coding credits are limited allotments, not unlimited Weekly (not daily) backups on base VPS plans; daily backups reserved for Cloud plans
