Standard Instances · $73.58/mo (8 GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 400 GB SSD)
Exoscale's $73.58/mo Large instance is significantly more expensive than comparable alternatives. Several providers offer 8GB RAM + 4 vCPU configurations at less than half the price, though most lock you into multi-year contracts with steep renewal increases. If you need month-to-month flexibility and true per-second billing, Exoscale's transparency is valuable, but budget-conscious buyers should seriously consider Contabo or Hostinger.
8GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 100GB NVMe SSD at 1/8th the price with 8TB transfer and weekly backups.
Caveat: Introductory rate requires 12/24/48-month prepay; renewal jumps to $14.99/mo (70% increase), and monthly billing is much pricier.
8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 160GB NVMe SSD with DDoS protection and 5TB transfer at 1/7th the Exoscale cost.
Caveat: Quoted price is for 3-year contract; renewal pricing is 2-4x higher, and a separate $5.99/mo 1-year promo was also seen (specs variance not fully reconciled).
8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 150GB NVMe SSD with 500 Mbit/s port and unlimited traffic, still 6x cheaper than Exoscale.
Caveat: 24-month prepaid contract required; shorter terms cost more, and support is ticket-only on lower tiers.
8GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 120GB NVMe SSD with 99.99% SLA, roughly 5x cheaper than Exoscale.
Caveat: Intro pricing is a promotional rate on 1-year contract; renewal pricing is 2-6x higher, and additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/month each.
