Hosting for high-egress workloads
Where the cheapest compute becomes the most expensive invoice.
What a plan needs to be listed
A fixed 2 vCPU, 4 GB VPS sending 10,000 GB outbound in one month before any overage or throttle point.
A plan reaches the table below only if all of this is true of it:
- It is a VPS plan.
- It is a paid plan, not a free tier.
- It bills continuously, so the price is a standing monthly charge rather than a metered one.
- The vendor publishes a monthly price for it.
- It is exactly 2 vCPU and 4 GB, so every row on the page is the same machine.
- Either it includes at least 10 TB of transfer, or the vendor charges nothing per GB and says on its own page that instance traffic is included.

Plans that just miss
These came close enough to be worth knowing about. Some meet the broad requirement above but miss a narrower one; the last column says which. Listing them shows that a missing plan was checked, not forgotten.
| Provider | Plan | What it misses | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amazon Web Services | Medium-4GB Linux with public IPv4 | Less than 10 TB transfer included | $24.00 |
| DigitalOcean | s-2vcpu-4gb | Less than 10 TB transfer included | $24.00 |
| HostBrr | DE-Performance-4GBrr IPv6 Only | Less than 10 TB transfer included, Additional egress price unknown | $3.50 |
| UpCloud | 2 CPU / 4 GB Cloud Native | The unit price is recorded as zero, but the Fair Transfer Policy has an account-dependent practical cap that was not published. Ten TB cannot be shown as supported. | $17.07 |
What actually decides this
High egress needs a workload number, not an adjective. This page fixes compute at 2 vCPU and 4 GB and asks whether the plan can send 10,000 GB before an overage or throttle point. A record qualifies when that volume fits inside a numeric allowance, or when a loaded regional term explicitly includes public traffic. This keeps a cheap CPU price from hiding a large delivery bill.
The cheapest exact-fit rows in the current table have no headroom and no published post-cap price or throttle rule. A slightly higher row with a larger numeric allowance can leave a full workload of margin. OVHcloud can also be attractive in France because public instance traffic is included there, but its record explicitly warns that APAC uses a different rule.
Near-misses are decision data. AWS Lightsail and DigitalOcean both require an overage calculation once this workload exceeds the included allowance; derive that total from the current compute, allowance, and per-gigabyte fields rather than copying an old result into prose. UpCloud records zero-cost egress but an unknown account-dependent Fair Transfer cap, so the workload is not proven suitable.
Use the expected outbound volume, a burst margin, and the exact deployment region. Confirm whether allowances pool across instances or accounts, reset monthly, roll over, or trigger billing, throttling, or suspension. Include CDN origin traffic, backups copied offsite, image pulls, replication, and migration traffic. If the workload can cache at the edge, price origin egress after the cache-hit assumption and state that assumption. If the provider publishes neither an overage price nor an enforcement rule, stop at the allowance instead of rendering zero.
How to check this yourself
Every price here is read from the provider's own page and carries the date we read it, most recently 16 Oct 2026. The requirements above list every check we applied, so you can disagree with a threshold rather than guess at it. How we calculate the bill, and download the data if you would rather run your own.
