Pick the workload that matches yours

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.

12 providers we can price, grouped by the kind of hosting you manage

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 totaladds 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.

On a tablet each table scrolls inside its frame. On a phone every plan becomes labelled fields, so the advertised price, estimated total and offer link stay visible.

VPS

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

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

The other questions this data answers

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

Or start from the constraint, not the workload

Most people arrive knowing one hard requirement rather than a full spec. Each of these applies a stated eligibility rule to the same dataset and publishes the near-misses with the exact check they failed, which is the part no other comparison in this category shows.

What this page will not do

It will not invent a number. 99 of 1011 plans carry no public price for a configuration like this, and rather than estimating them we link the vendor'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. This dataset knows 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. The full method is here.
