Standard Instances · $147.17/mo (16 GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 800 GB SSD)
Exoscale's Extra-Large at $147.17/mo is significantly overpriced compared to comparable 4vCPU/8GB RAM alternatives from mainstream providers, which range from $5.94-$21.99/mo. Even accounting for Exoscale's 16GB RAM (double the others), you're paying a 6-25x premium with no clear justification in SLA, support, or features.
Matches your 4vCPU/8GB RAM spec at 1/12th the price, with 150GB NVMe and unlimited traffic; 24-month term locks in this rate.
Caveat: Requires 24-month prepay; shorter terms cost more; fair-usage policy on unlimited traffic; ticket-only support on base tier.
4vCPU/8GB RAM with 240GB NVMe, unlimited traffic (1 Gbit/s), and 99.99% SLA for $11.50/mo; closest match to your specs at 1/13th the cost.
Caveat: Intro pricing; renewal can be 2-6x higher after contract; outbound data over 2TB incurs per-GB fees.
4vCPU/8GB RAM, 80GB SSD, 20TB transfer, 99.9% SLA, and no renewal-price trap (stable pricing); excellent value.
Caveat: Only 80GB storage (vs your 800GB); traffic overage billed per GB in non-EU regions; VAT not included in quoted price.
4vCPU/8GB RAM, 75GB NVMe, daily backups, 1 Gbps, 99.99% SLA, and transparent pricing with no renewal shock.
Caveat: Smallest storage (75GB); IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026.
4vCPU/8GB RAM, 160GB NVMe, 5TB transfer, DDoS protection, 99.9% SLA; 3-year rate shown, but 1-year promo at $5.99/mo also available.
Caveat: Renewal prices 2-4x higher than intro rate; lowest prices require 24-36 month prepay; free domain only year one.
