Compute Engine · $65.99/mo (16 GB RAM, 2 vCPU)
Google Cloud's e2-highmem-2 at $65.99/mo is significantly overpriced compared to fixed-rate VPS alternatives offering similar or better specs. Multiple providers deliver 4 vCPU / 8GB RAM plans for under $13/mo with unlimited traffic, avoiding Google's per-GB egress charges and commitment-discount complexity.
4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 100GB SSD, unlimited traffic at 1/11th the price with no egress billing or hidden discount mechanics.
Caveat: Quoted price is for 24-month prepaid term; 1 or 12-month terms cost significantly more per month, and fair-use policy can throttle sustained high bandwidth.
4 vCPU, 8GB DDR5 RAM, 200GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, and 99.99% SLA for 1/8th the cost.
Caveat: Intro price requires 36-month prepay; renewal jumps to $9.99-$15.99/mo, and domain/add-ons are upsold aggressively at checkout.
4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 75GB NVMe, 1 Gbps, daily backups, unlimited traffic, and 99.99% SLA for 1/8th the price.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026.
2 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 100GB NVMe, 8TB transfer, AMD EPYC, weekly backups at 1/7.5th the cost.
Caveat: Intro price requires 12/24/48-month prepay; renewal jumps to $14.99/mo (87% increase), and monthly billing is 2-4x higher per month.
4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 80GB SSD, 20TB transfer, 99.9% SLA at 1/6.6th the cost with no per-GB egress charges.
Caveat: Prices exclude VAT; traffic overage billed per GB beyond 20TB in EU (as little as 0.5-1TB in USA/Singapore); recent large price increases on CPX/CCX lines.
