Compute Engine · $332.82/mo (64 GB RAM, 8 vCPU)
Google Cloud's $332.82/mo n2d-highmem-8 is significantly overpriced for basic compute workloads. Multiple VPS and dedicated server providers offer comparable or superior specs at 1/6 to 1/3 the cost, though you'll need to account for renewal price jumps and prepay contract terms.
12 vCPU, 48GB RAM, 400GB SSD, unlimited traffic at $27/mo on 24-month term, beating Google Cloud on both price and core count.
Caveat: 24-month prepay required; shorter terms cost significantly more; fair usage policy on unlimited traffic.
16 vCPU, 32GB RAM, 320GB SSD, 20TB annual transfer at $34.99/mo with 99.9% SLA and no egress surprises within EU.
Caveat: Only 32GB RAM vs 64GB; traffic overage billed beyond 20TB; prices exclude VAT; recent large price increases on other Hetzner lines.
12 vCPU, 48GB RAM, 600GB NVMe, unlimited traffic at $54.16/mo on 24-month term; still 6x cheaper than Google Cloud with better storage.
Caveat: 24-month prepay required; fair usage policy on unlimited traffic; ticket-only support on base tier.
8 vCPU, 32GB RAM, 450GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, full root access, DDoS protection at $59.99/mo with 100% SLA.
Caveat: Only 32GB RAM vs 64GB; steep renewal increases (280%+ reported on other tiers); monthly billing only, no hourly scaling.
