Cloud Compute · $15/mo (2 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 65 GB NVMe SSD, 3072 GB transfer)
Vultr's $15/mo Regular 2vCPU/2GB plan is fairly priced for its specs, but several providers offer matching or better value at lower entry points. OVHcloud's VPS-1 and IONOS VPS S+ both deliver 2vCPU/2GB+ configurations for $4.54-$5/mo, though renewal pricing and hidden costs vary significantly across all options.
Matches Vultr's 2vCPU/2GB spec, adds 40GB NVMe + daily backups + unlimited traffic for $4.54/mo, a 70% saving.
Caveat: Windows licensing adds $0.039/vCore/hour; IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC egress loses free status after mid-2026.
2vCPU/2GB/90GB NVMe for $5/mo intro rate, exceeds Vultr's storage and is 67% cheaper upfront.
Caveat: Intro pricing is 1-year contract; renewal jumps 2-6x higher; outbound data beyond 2TB pooled is $0.036/GB; Windows licensing surcharge applies.
2vCPU/2GB/50GB NVMe for $2.09/mo intro, unmetered bandwidth, 86% cheaper than Vultr.
Caveat: Renewal price jumps to $9.99-$15.99/mo after intro term; 36-month contract required for lowest rate; domain/privacy/add-ons upsold aggressively.
1vCPU/1GB/25GB SSD for $6/mo with 99.99% SLA and transparent pricing; half Vultr's cost for lighter workloads.
Caveat: Only 1vCPU vs Vultr's 2; bandwidth overages at $0.01/GB; does not match Vultr's 2vCPU spec.
1vCPU/1GB/25GB SSD for $5/mo with 99.99% SLA and predictable overage rates ($0.005/GB egress).
Caveat: Only 1vCPU; backups add ~20-25% surcharge; does not match Vultr's 2vCPU/2GB spec.
