Managed Databases · $576/mo (32 GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 512 GB)
Vultr's MySQL CC-HP plan is significantly overpriced for its specs. Multiple providers offer 16GB RAM managed databases at 1/3 the cost, though none match the full 8vCPU/32GB/512GB configuration. If you can work with 16GB RAM and 4-6 vCPU, switching saves $300-400/month.
Cheapest managed database option with 16GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 50GB SSD at less than 1/3 Vultr's price.
Caveat: Only 50GB disk (vs 512GB on Vultr); egress charges apply after 75GB/month free tier; SLA varies by tier.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scaleway | Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL · DB-PRO2-XS | $158/mo | 16 GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 50 GB SSD | Visit |
| DigitalOcean | Managed Databases · OpenSearch General Purpose 16GB | $197.35/mo | 16 GB RAM, 4 vCPU | Visit |
| AWS Lightsail | Managed Databases · 16GB Standard | $245/mo |
16GB RAM, 4 vCPU managed database at 1/3 Vultr cost with 99.99% SLA and predictable $0.01/GB overage billing.
Caveat: OpenSearch (not MySQL); limited to 16GB RAM; bandwidth overages apply beyond pooled allowance.
16GB RAM, 4 vCPU with 480GB disk, 300GB monthly transfer included, and 99.9% SLA for less than half Vultr.
Caveat: Data transfer overages are steep ($0.09-$0.132/GB depending on region); still only 16GB RAM vs Vultr's 32GB.
16GB RAM, 6 vCPU (more cores than alternatives), 320GB SSD, 99.99% SLA at 43% of Vultr's price.
Caveat: Price is estimated from linear pricing pattern, not directly confirmed; HA clusters cost 2-3x more; backups are a separate add-on.
16GB RAM, 4 vCPU with 320GB-1.6TB usable storage, 1 Gbps public / 4 Gbps private, 99.99% SLA at 41% savings.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026; still only 16GB RAM vs Vultr's 32GB.
