Self-Managed VPS · $31.99/mo (2 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 60 GB NVMe SSD)
DreamHost's VPS Business at $31.99/mo offers solid specs (2GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 60GB NVMe), but several providers deliver equivalent or better hardware at a fraction of the cost. The real risk is DreamHost's steep renewal increases (280%+ on some plans), which will hit you hard after the intro term.
Beats DreamHost on RAM (4GB vs 2GB) and vCPU (2 vs 2) at 1/7th the price, with daily backups and unlimited traffic included.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; Windows licensing adds per-vCore surcharge; APAC egress loses free status after mid-2026.
Matches DreamHost's 2GB RAM and 2 vCPU, adds 90GB NVMe (vs 60GB), and costs 1/6th as much with unlimited traffic.
Caveat: Intro pricing is a 1-year promotional rate; renewal pricing is 2-6x higher; additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/month each.
Exceeds DreamHost on storage (60GB NVMe vs 60GB) and matches RAM/vCPU, at 1/5.5th the intro price.
Caveat: Intro pricing is a 1-year promotional rate; renewal pricing is 2-6x higher; building-block pricing can be harder to estimate.
Cheapest intro price with 2GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 50GB NVMe SSD, unmetered bandwidth, and root SSH access.
Caveat: Only 1 vCPU vs DreamHost's 2; steep renewal increases (intro $2.09/mo renews at $9.99-$15.99/mo); requires 36-month contract for lowest price.
Offers 1GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 30GB SSD at 1/6th DreamHost's price with 1TB transfer and managed support options.
Caveat: Advertised price is frequently promotional (50% off first 2 months); renewal pricing is meaningfully higher; only 1 vCPU and 1GB RAM vs DreamHost's 2/2.
