Is Vultr's GP 192vCPU/768GB (NVMe) the best deal?

VX1 · $5356.74/mo (768 GB RAM, 192 vCPU, 10000 GB transfer)

Better deals exist

The Vultr VX1 is significantly overpriced compared to comparable alternatives. OVHcloud and Azure offer 50-60% lower monthly costs for similar or better specs, though you'll need to account for Windows licensing and regional bandwidth changes. Linode's Dedicated CPU option is also cheaper and includes more NVMe storage.

Public Cloud Compute b3-512

$2820.72/mosave 47.4%

Nearly half the price of Vultr with 512GB RAM and 128 vCPU; includes 400GB NVMe and 20 Gbps network.

Caveat: Windows license adds ~$0.039/vCore/hour; APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026; specs are smaller (128 vCPU vs 192, 512GB vs 768GB RAM).

Virtual Machines D96s_v5

$3363.84/mosave 37.3%

37% cheaper than Vultr with 384GB RAM and 96 vCPU; strong SLA and enterprise integration.

Caveat: Windows Server license surcharge applies; outbound bandwidth billed above 100GB/month; Premium SSD/Ultra Disk IOPS billed separately; specs are smaller (96 vCPU vs 192, 384GB vs 768GB RAM).

Dedicated CPU Compute G8 Dedicated 512x128

$4993.2/mosave 6.8%

7% cheaper with 512GB RAM, 128 vCPU, and 7200GB NVMe (more storage than Vultr); 12000GB transfer included.

Caveat: Outbound bandwidth overages cost $0.005/GB; backups are a separate add-on (20-25% of instance price); specs are smaller (128 vCPU vs 192, 512GB vs 768GB RAM).

Before you switch

OVHcloud and Azure specs are smaller (96-128 vCPU, 384-512GB RAM) than the Vultr 192vCPU/768GB plan; verify your actual workload needs before downgrading.
Windows licensing adds material cost to OVHcloud and Azure; confirm whether you need Windows or can use Linux.
All alternatives have bandwidth overage charges; Vultr's 10000GB transfer allowance is generous, so calculate your actual egress needs.
Linode backup service (~$1000-1250/mo for this tier) is not included in the base price; factor this into total cost.
Verify NVMe performance requirements; OVHcloud's 400GB NVMe is significantly smaller than Vultr's and Linode's offerings.
