VX1 · $2803.2/mo (768 GB RAM, 96 vCPU, 10000 GB transfer)
Vultr VX1 is significantly overpriced for the specs. AWS Lightsail, Scaleway, and OVHcloud all deliver comparable or superior performance at 36-65% lower cost, though you'll need to account for hidden bandwidth and licensing charges. UpCloud offers near-parity pricing with better SLA and storage performance if you value reliability.
Half the vCPU/RAM but still enterprise-grade, 99.9% SLA, and $1043/month cheaper; ideal if you can right-size workloads.
Caveat: Data transfer overage rates vary by region ($0.09-$0.132/GB); Windows licensing adds 70-90% premium if needed.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AWS Lightsail | Virtual Servers · Mem 384GB (Linux, IPv6) | $1760/mo | 384 GB RAM, 48 vCPU, 1280 GB SSD | Visit |
| Scaleway | Virtual Instances · POP2-HM-48C-384G | $1803.1/mo | 384 GB RAM, 48 vCPU | Visit |
| OVHcloud | Public Cloud Compute Instances · r3-512 | $1825/mo | 512 GB RAM, 64 vCPU, 400 GB NVMe |
Matches AWS specs at similar price with 9.6 Gbps public bandwidth; strong European presence and 99.9-99.99% SLA options.
Caveat: Product is end-of-life and no longer orderable; Windows Server licensing surcharge roughly 2.5x Linux equivalent.
512GB RAM, 64 vCPU, 20 Gbps public bandwidth, 99.99% SLA, and $978/month savings; excellent value for European/APAC workloads.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; Windows license surcharge $0.039/vCore/hour; APAC outbound egress loses free status after mid-2026.
Nearly identical monthly cost but 80 vCPU (vs 96), 512GB RAM (vs 768GB), MaxIOPS SSD storage, and industry-leading 99.999% SLA.
Caveat: Backup add-ons range 10-60% surcharge; data transfer overages possible despite free-egress marketing; requires MaxIOPS block storage tier.
Slightly more expensive but 512GB RAM, 64 vCPU, 99.99% SLA, and strong integration if you use Microsoft ecosystem tools.
Caveat: Windows Server license surcharge on top of compute; outbound bandwidth billed above 100 GB/month; Premium SSD/Ultra Disk IOPS billed separately.
