Where these prices come from
Each figure is the cloud's own published on-demand list price for a Linux server on shared hardware, read by our scripts from the cloud's price list, never typed in: Google Cloud Compute Engine price list for Iowa (read 30 Oct 2026). A month is 730 hours, the convention the clouds' own calculators use, unless the provider lists a monthly price. Prices in other currencies are shown as listed and converted at the European Central Bank reference rate of 29 Oct 2026. The hourly price covers the server alone: disk, a public IPv4 address and outbound traffic are billed on top at every cloud here, while the VPS prices we compare against include a disk, an IPv4 address and a traffic allowance. Specs are the cloud's published vCPU count and memory; a size whose specs the cloud does not publish in a readable form shows "not stated".
