CloudHosting.ioCloudHosting.io
Machines (Shared CPU) · $22.22/mo
Fly.io's $22.22/mo shared-CPU plan is significantly more expensive than comparable VPS offerings with better specs. Multiple providers offer 2-4GB RAM with 2 vCPUs for $4-7/mo, though most carry renewal-price traps and contract lock-ins that narrow the gap over time.
Matches Fly.io's 4GB RAM and 2 vCPU for 80% less, includes 40GB NVMe, daily backups, and 500 Mbps bandwidth with no per-region pricing variance.
Caveat: Renewal pricing and Windows license surcharges not disclosed upfront; APAC egress loses free status after mid-2026.
2GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 80GB NVMe for $4.33/mo with unlimited traffic up to 1 Gbit/s; cheapest fixed-tier option with comparable CPU count.
Caveat: Intro pricing is a 3-month or 1-year promo; renewal pricing is 2-6x higher; overage data transfer charged at $0.036/GB after 2TB free.
4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 40GB SSD, 20TB transfer for $6.49/mo; strong specs and no region-based price variance within EU.
Caveat: Recent large price increases (CX line +1.3-1.4x in June 2026); traffic overage charged beyond 20TB EU pool; VAT excluded from listed price.
8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 100GB SSD for $5.94/mo; best raw specs-per-dollar and unlimited traffic with no region surcharges.
Caveat: Quoted price requires 24-month prepaid contract; 1 or 12-month terms cost significantly more per month; fair usage policy can throttle sustained high bandwidth.
2GB RAM, 2 vCPU for $6.55/mo with transparent per-second billing and no region-based markup; European pricing is straightforward.
Caveat: Lower 200 Mbps public bandwidth vs Fly.io; Windows licensing surcharge if needed; Kubernetes control plane is a paid add-on.
