Direct Connect · $10/mo
Vultr's Direct Connect 100 Mbps Hosted at $10/mo is competitively priced for dedicated connectivity, but the market offers few true apples-to-apples alternatives since most competitors focus on compute + networking bundles rather than standalone direct connect. OVHcloud's Gateway S and Load Balancer S provide similar bandwidth at comparable or slightly higher cost, though they bundle different feature sets.
Offers 200 Mbps public network and 200GB transfer for $2.34/mo, significantly cheaper than Vultr if you don't need the full 100 Mbps dedicated throughput.
Caveat: Gateway is a different product class (edge gateway, not direct connect); APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026; IPv4 addresses billed separately.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fly.io | Private Networking / Egress · North America / Europe - private cross-region | $0.01/mo | WireGuard (6PN) private cross-region transfer, per GB, North America and Europe. Within-region private transfer is free. | Visit |
| Bunny CDN | CDN · Europe & North America | $0.01/mo | Standard Network CDN, per-GB pay-as-you-go rate for Europe & North America. | Visit |
| Oracle Cloud Infrastructure | Outbound Data Transfer · Prior policy: overage to internet |
Provides 200 Mbps and 200GB transfer with load-balancing features for $6.94/mo, closer to Vultr's feature set if you need traffic distribution.
Caveat: Load balancer, not pure direct connect; IPv4 and Windows licenses billed separately; APAC free-egress ending in 2026.
Matches Vultr's $10/mo price point with a flat-rate load balancer and transparent overage billing at $0.015/GB.
Caveat: Also a load balancer rather than dedicated direct connect; bandwidth overages apply once pooled allowance is exceeded.
