Is Vultr's HDD 10GB the best deal?

Block Storage · $0.5/mo (10 GB)

Better deals exist

Vultr's HDD Block Storage at $0.50/mo for 10GB is moderately priced but not the cheapest option available. Several providers offer comparable or better value at $0.01-0.05/mo per GB, though most impose retrieval fees, minimum retention periods, or performance-tier surcharges that may offset the lower headline price depending on your access patterns.

Blob Storage Cool tier

$0.1/mosave 80%

At $0.01/GB/month, 10GB costs only $0.10/mo—80% cheaper than Vultr—with 99.99% SLA and no performance-tier surcharges.

Caveat: Early-deletion penalties apply if objects are deleted before 30 days; retrieval and transaction fees add up for frequently accessed data.

Cloud Storage Nearline storage

$0.1/mosave 80%

Also $0.01/GB/month ($0.10 for 10GB) with 99.99% SLA and no separate performance charges.

Caveat: 30-day minimum storage duration and $0.01/GB retrieval fee; egress bandwidth billed above 200 GiB/month free tier.

Object Storage Infrequent Access

$0.1/mosave 80%

Priced at $0.0102/GB/month ($0.10 for 10GB), matching Azure and Google Cloud's headline cost with 99.95% SLA.

Caveat: Per-GB retrieval fee ($0.0102/GB) and minimum retention period apply; not ideal for frequently accessed workloads.

Block Storage Classic (per GB)

$0.5/mo

Matches Vultr's $0.50/mo price point at $0.05/GB/month for 10GB, with 99.99% SLA and S3-compatible object storage alternative.

Caveat: Billed per GB/hour with 1 GB minimum granularity; Windows license surcharge ($0.039/vCore/hr) and IPv4 address fees apply separately.

Block Storage HDD

$0.5/mo

Also $0.05/GB/month ($0.50 for 10GB) with 200 MB/s throughput and 1,100 static IOPS, matching Vultr's price and performance tier.

Caveat: Renewal pricing after promotional periods can be 2-6x higher; outbound bandwidth overage charged at $0.036/GB beyond 2TB free pool.

Before you switch

Object Storage tiers (Azure Cool, Google Nearline, Oracle Infrequent) are cheaper but impose 30-90 day minimum retention and per-GB retrieval fees—only switch if your data is infrequently accessed.
Vultr's bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; verify your region's egress pricing before committing.
OVHcloud and IONOS block storage are billed per GB/hour, not flat monthly—confirm your usage pattern aligns with hourly granularity.
IONOS and OVHcloud renewal pricing and license surcharges (Windows, IPv4) can significantly increase total cost of ownership after initial term.
Hetzner's recent 36-39% price increase (April 2026) and further adjustments mean their $0.60/mo 10GB quote may not reflect current rates—verify current pricing.
