Standard Instances · $11.49/mo (1 GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 400 GB SSD)
Exoscale's Tiny at $11.49/mo is significantly more expensive than several comparable 1GB/1vCPU alternatives, most notably IONOS Cloud VPS XS at $2/mo and Bluehost NVMe 2 at $2.09/mo. However, beware aggressive renewal-price hikes on budget tiers: IONOS and Bluehost introductory rates jump 2-6x after the contract term, so true long-term cost may be closer to Exoscale's pricing.
Matches 1GB RAM and 1vCPU at 1/6 the price, with 10GB NVMe storage (vs 400GB on Exoscale) and unlimited traffic up to 1 Gbit/s.
Caveat: Intro pricing is a 3-month or 1-year promotional rate; renewal pricing after contract expires is 2-6x higher, potentially reaching $12/mo or more.
1vCPU with 2GB RAM (better than Exoscale's 1GB) and 50GB NVMe SSD at 1/5 the price, plus unmetered bandwidth.
Caveat: Steep renewal price increases after intro term (renews at $9.99-$15.99/mo); longest contract terms (36-month) required to lock in lowest advertised price.
1vCPU with 1GB RAM and 20GB SSD at 1/3 the price, includes 1TB bandwidth and unmanaged access.
Caveat: Renewal pricing is substantially higher than first-term promo; unmanaged by default (add $10-25/mo for management); SLA undefined.
Exact 1GB/1vCPU match with 10GB Standard SSD at 1/3 the price and industry-leading 99.999% SLA.
Caveat: Backup add-ons are percentage surcharges (10-60% of server price); data transfer overages may apply despite 'fair use' marketing.
1vCPU with 1GB RAM, 20GB NVMe, and 5TB transfer allowance at 1/3 the price.
Caveat: Non-dedicated CPU thread with no guaranteed resources; Windows/SQL licensing adds undisclosed surcharge at checkout; powered-off servers may still accrue charges.
