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 storage and SLA. Even accounting for UpCloud's MaxIOPS premium and backup add-ons, the value proposition is weak unless you specifically need 512GB RAM and 80 vCPU.
Cheapest option with 256GB RAM, 64 vCPU, and nearly 2TB NVMe; includes cPanel/WHM at no extra cost.
Caveat: Renewal rates jump 2-3x; requires sales call for dedicated server quotes; medium confidence sourcing; 99.9% SLA vs UpCloud's 99.999%.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hosting.com (formerly A2 Hosting) | VPS Hosting (Managed cPanel) · Managed cPanel 256GB | $916.25/mo | 256 GB RAM, 64 vCPU, 1997 GB NVMe SSD | Visit |
| Hetzner | GPU Cloud Servers · GEX131 | $989/mo | 256 GB RAM, 1920 GB NVMe RAID1 | Visit |
| Scaleway | Virtual Instances · GP1-XL | $1221.88/mo | 256 GB RAM, 48 vCPU |
256GB RAM, 1920GB NVMe RAID1, includes NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 GPU; strong value for GPU workloads.
Caveat: Setup fees rising in 2026; traffic overage billed per GB; VAT excluded from listed price; 99.9% SLA; recent large price increases on other lines suggest volatility.
256GB RAM, 48 vCPU, 10 Gbps public bandwidth; clean pricing with up to 99.99% SLA available.
Caveat: Object Storage egress charged at EUR 0.01/GB after 75GB free tier; Windows licensing surcharge; Kubernetes control plane is paid add-on.
256GB RAM, 64 vCPU, 10TB transfer included; 100% network uptime SLA is strongest guarantee.
Caveat: Bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; Windows license not included; less storage than UpCloud's 500GB MaxIOPS SSD.
256GB RAM, 64 vCPU, 400GB NVMe, 16 Gbps public bandwidth; 99.99% SLA and strong European presence.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; Windows license surcharge; APAC egress loses free status after mid-2026; early-deletion penalties on cold storage.
