Compute VM Instances · $21.9/mo (16 GB RAM, 2 vCPU)
Oracle's $21.9/mo plan is significantly overpriced for the specs offered. Multiple providers deliver 8GB RAM and 4 vCPU for $5.94-$11.50/mo with better storage and no hidden per-operation billing. Even accounting for renewal traps and contract lock-ins, the savings are substantial.
4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 100GB SSD, unlimited traffic for less than one-third Oracle's price; AMD EPYC same as Oracle.
Caveat: Quoted rate is for 24-month prepaid term; 1 or 12-month terms cost significantly more per month; fair usage policy can throttle sustained high bandwidth.
4 vCPU, 8GB DDR5 RAM, 200GB NVMe SSD, unmetered bandwidth, plus $60 Amazon gift card promo; 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Intro price requires 36-month contract; renewal jumps to $9.99-$15.99/mo; domain free only year one; aggressive upsell prompts at checkout.
4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 75GB NVMe, 1 Gbps bandwidth, daily backups, unlimited traffic; 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC outbound traffic loses free egress after mid-2026; no storage advantage over Contabo.
2 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 100GB NVMe, 8TB transfer, AMD EPYC, 1 Gbps port, weekly backups; matches Oracle's CPU architecture.
Caveat: Intro rate on 12/24/48-month prepay only; renewal jumps to $14.99/mo (70% increase); only 2 vCPU vs Oracle's 2 vCPU but half the OCPU rating.
4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 240GB NVMe, unlimited traffic up to 1 Gbps; 99.99% SLA; no per-operation billing like Oracle.
Caveat: Intro pricing requires 1-year contract; renewal pricing 2-6x higher; outbound data beyond 2TB pooled allowance charged at $0.036/GB.
