Is Vultr's MySQL GP 64vCPU/192GB (0 rep) the best deal?

Managed Databases · $5760/mo (192 GB RAM, 64 vCPU, 960 GB)

Better deals exist

Vultr's $5760/mo plan is significantly overpriced compared to managed database alternatives with similar or better specs. DigitalOcean, Linode, and OVHcloud all offer 96-128GB RAM instances at 32-48 vCPU for $1825-$2703/mo, representing 52-68% savings. The Vultr plan's 64 vCPU and 960GB disk are rarely needed for standard workloads, making it a poor fit for most use cases.

Managed Databases PostgreSQL General Purpose 128GB

$1825.4/mosave 68.3%

Cheapest comparable option with 128GB RAM, 32 vCPU, published 99.99% SLA, and transparent $0.01/GB bandwidth overage pricing.

Caveat: Only 32 vCPU vs Vultr's 64, and PostgreSQL instead of MySQL if that matters for your workload.

Managed Databases Dedicated G7 96GB Standalone

$1965/mosave 65.9%

96GB RAM with 48 dedicated vCPU, 1920GB NVMe storage, 99.99% SLA, and lower bandwidth overage rates ($0.005/GB).

Caveat: Price is ESTIMATED from linear node pricing and not directly confirmed; HA clustering costs 2-3x more; backups are a separate add-on (20-25% surcharge).

Heroku Postgres Standard-6

$2000/mosave 65.3%

122GB RAM, 1.5TB disk, 500 max connections, and managed platform with minimal ops overhead.

Caveat: SLA not published for Standard tier; Essential tier drops to 99.5% SLA; add-on overages can force unplanned upgrades; performance dynos require billing history.

Managed Database MySQL Discovery-B3-128

$2703.19/mosave 53%

128GB RAM, 32 vCPU, 2.56-12.8TB usable storage, 99.99% SLA, and 8 Gbps public/private bandwidth.

Caveat: Region-limited to Milan/Paris; IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress after mid-2026.

Managed Database PostgreSQL Discovery-B3-128

$2703.19/mosave 53%

Identical specs to MySQL variant (128GB RAM, 32 vCPU, 2.56-12.8TB storage) with 99.99% SLA if PostgreSQL is acceptable.

Caveat: Region-limited to Milan/Paris; IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress after mid-2026.

Before you switch

Verify whether you actually need 64 vCPU and 960GB disk; most workloads fit comfortably in 32-48 vCPU with 96-128GB RAM.
Check Linode's ESTIMATED pricing flag and confirm the exact Managed Database pricing before committing, as the spec notes it is not directly confirmed.
Review bandwidth allowances and overage rates for your data center region, especially with Vultr (varies by location) and OVHcloud (APAC loses free egress in 2026).
Confirm SLA terms in writing, particularly for Heroku Standard tier where the SLA is not separately published.
Factor in backup, HA, and replication costs for Linode (20-25% backup surcharge, 2-3x for HA clusters) and Heroku (add-on overages can force tier jumps).
