JavaScript is off, so this page is showing its default answer. Every price, ranked table, source link and read date below is already in the HTML, so nothing is missing from the answer itself. What is missing is refinement: controls that only redraw a figure already on the page are either withdrawn or genuinely disabled, so none of them can move while the answer beside it stays still. Copying and shared links need JavaScript too.

Compare cloud hosting costs by workload

Pick the workload that matches yours

What each preset includes

Every preset includes the CPU, memory, run time, instance count, transfer, region and networking shown on its card. Persistent storage, a managed database, a load balancer, extra seats and team time are excluded unless that card names them; a missing required price keeps the total out of the ranking.

Switching workloads needs JavaScript, so the six preset buttons are not shown rather than shown and inert. This page is the Stateless Docker or API scenario (One always-on instance at 2 vCPU and 4 GB, 100 GB egress. No disk, no database.), complete with its full ranked table, its receipt and its sources. A copied workload link cannot be restored here either; the other scenarios are reachable with JavaScript on.

How to compare these estimates

First choose the kind of service you want to run, then compare providers within that group. Advertised price is the provider's starting figure. Estimated total adds the required storage, transfer, IPv4 and platform charges we can verify for this workload. If a required price is unknown, the plan stays visible but does not enter the ranking.

VPS: costs and responsibilities

VPS

A machine you patch. The kernel, the updates, the firewall and the restore are yours.

Costs to check beyond the advertised price A public IPv4 address, and what happens when the included transfer runs out.

We found 7 more plans in this hosting type, but a required price is missing. Each appears in “Plans missing a total” below with the reason.

The other questions this data answers

Cost is one axis. These use the same prices and the same bills to answer the decisions that sit next to it.

Or start from a requirement

Most people arrive knowing one hard requirement rather than a full spec. Each of these lists the plans that meet it and the plans that just miss, with the one thing each of them misses.

Three things we will not do

It will not invent a number. 98 of 1,011 plans carry no public price for a configuration like this, and rather than estimating them we link the provider's own page and say exactly what is missing. A visible unknown beats a plausible number that goes stale quietly.

It will not charge you for your own time in the headline. Eleven cloud estimators were reviewed and not one prices the buyer's labour by default. Team cost is a separate, optional calculation with a rate you enter yourself.

It will not call anything the best host. We know what a provider bills. It does not yet know whether a plan supports your runtime, your background workers, your persistent-disk behaviour or your private networking, so the top row is the lowest complete bill and nothing more. How we calculate the bill.
