Cloud Servers - Premium · $2772.26/mo (512 GB RAM, 80 vCPU, 500 GB MaxIOPS SSD)
UpCloud's Premium-80 plan is significantly overpriced for the specs. Multiple providers offer 256GB RAM / 64 vCPU configurations at 60-70% lower cost with comparable or better SLAs and storage. Even accounting for UpCloud's MaxIOPS performance tier and backup add-ons, the value proposition is weak unless you specifically need 512GB RAM and 80 vCPU.
Cuts UpCloud's price by two-thirds with 256GB RAM, 64 vCPU, and 2TB NVMe plus cPanel included; 99.9% SLA is standard.
Caveat: Renewal rates jump 2-3x after intro period; requires sales call for dedicated specs; medium confidence sourcing.
64% cheaper than UpCloud with 256GB RAM, 64 vCPU, 1920GB NVMe RAID1, and includes an NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 GPU for compute-heavy workloads.
Caveat: Setup fees increased in 2026; traffic overage billed per GB in non-EU regions; VAT excluded from pricing; recent large price hikes on other product lines.
56% savings with 256GB RAM, 48 vCPU, 10 Gbps public bandwidth, and flexible SLA options up to 99.99%.
Caveat: Lower vCPU count (48 vs 80); egress from Object Storage charged after 75GB free tier; Windows licensing adds significant cost.
49% cheaper with 256GB RAM, 64 vCPU, 10TB transfer included, and 100% network uptime SLA.
Caveat: Bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; Windows licensing not included; lower storage capacity than UpCloud.
49% savings with 256GB RAM, 64 vCPU, 400GB NVMe, 99.99% SLA, and 16 Gbps public bandwidth.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; Windows license surcharge per vCore; APAC egress loses free status after mid-2026; lower storage than UpCloud.
