Managed Databases · $2880/mo (128 GB RAM, 32 vCPU, 640 GB)
Vultr's MySQL GP plan is significantly oversized and overpriced for most workloads. All listed alternatives offer 64GB RAM / 16 vCPU configurations at 50-73% lower cost, with comparable or better SLAs. If you genuinely need 128GB RAM and 32 vCPU, Vultr may be justified, but most users should downsize.
Cheapest option with 64GB RAM, 16 vCPU, 99.99% SLA, and transparent bandwidth overage pricing at $0.01/GB.
Caveat: PostgreSQL only (not MySQL); half the disk storage (64 GiB vs 640GB); confirm if your workload fits the smaller footprint.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DigitalOcean | Managed Databases · PostgreSQL Basic Premium AMD 64GB | $782.2/mo | 64 GB RAM, 16 vCPU | Visit |
| Linode (Akamai) | Managed Databases · Shared 64 GB - Standalone | $950/mo | 64 GB RAM, 16 vCPU, 1280 GB SSD | Visit |
| OVHcloud | Analytics - OpenSearch · Discovery-B3-64 | $1181.87/mo |
64GB RAM, 16 vCPU, 1280GB SSD (double Vultr's disk), 99.99% SLA, and lower bandwidth overage rates ($0.005/GB compute).
Caveat: Price is ESTIMATED from linear node pricing and not directly confirmed; backups and HA are separate add-ons that could add 20-50% to the bill.
MySQL (same engine as Vultr), 64GB RAM, 16 vCPU, 1.28-6.4TB usable storage, 99.99% SLA, and 4 Gbps public/private bandwidth.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026; single-node (no HA by default).
Same specs and price as MySQL option above; PostgreSQL alternative with 1.28-6.4TB storage and 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: PostgreSQL instead of MySQL; IPv4 and APAC egress caveats apply; single-node architecture.
122GB RAM, 1.5TB disk, 500 max connections, and higher reliability than Essential tier (SLA not published but implied 99.9%+).
Caveat: PostgreSQL only; SLA not explicitly published; Essential tier has only 99.5% uptime; add-on overages can force unplanned upgrades; requires established billing history for performance dynos.
