Managed Databases · $13440/mo (192 GB RAM, 64 vCPU, 960 GB)
Vultr's $13,440/mo plan is dramatically overpriced compared to functionally equivalent managed database offerings from competitors. DigitalOcean, Linode, and OVHcloud all deliver comparable or superior specs (128GB+ RAM, 32+ vCPU) at 7-20x lower cost, with published SLAs and transparent bandwidth pricing.
Lowest-cost option with 128GB RAM and 32 vCPU, published 99.99% SLA, and transparent $0.01/GB bandwidth overage pricing.
Caveat: Uses PostgreSQL instead of MySQL; half the vCPU count (32 vs 64) but still overkill for most workloads at this scale.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DigitalOcean | Managed Databases · PostgreSQL General Purpose 128GB | $1825.4/mo | 128 GB RAM, 32 vCPU | Visit |
| Linode (Akamai) | Managed Databases · Dedicated G7 96 GB - Standalone | $1965/mo | 96 GB RAM, 48 vCPU, 1920 GB NVMe | Visit |
| Heroku | Heroku Postgres · Standard-6 | $2000/mo |
96GB RAM and 48 dedicated vCPU with 1920GB NVMe storage, 99.99% SLA, and clear $0.005/GB bandwidth overage rates.
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).
Native MySQL with 128GB RAM, 32 vCPU, 2.56-12.8TB 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.
PostgreSQL alternative with identical specs to MySQL tier (128GB RAM, 32 vCPU, 2.56-12.8TB storage) and 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Region-limited to Milan/Paris; IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress after mid-2026.
122GB RAM and 1.5TB storage with managed PostgreSQL; no bandwidth overage charges; suitable for high-connection workloads (500 max).
Caveat: SLA not published for Standard tier; Essential tier has only 99.5% SLA and no HA; add-on overages can force unplanned tier upgrades; Advanced tier pricing requires sales contact.
