VPS Price Comparison
Nov. 7, 2024 by @anthonynsimon
Below I compiled a list of compute prices across cloud providers. For ease of comparison I grouped the data into 3 categories:
- 1. Small instances (1 CPU, 1 GB RAM)
- 2. Medium instances (4 CPU, 8 GB RAM)
- 3. Large instances (8 CPU, 16 GB RAM)
Not all providers offer instances matching the exact configuration, so picked the most affordable, closest match I could find.
Please note this list is non-exhaustive and prices may differ from those listed here. You can find the assumptions I made while compiling the data here.
