All figures are the providers' own published list prices in USD, on-demand monthly. The index was last refreshed 2026-10-14, and every row shows the date its own price was read. Nothing here is live or negotiated pricing. Where a provider bills a public IPv4 address on top, it is added to the monthly price, the ranking and every cost per vCPU or per GB, and the row shows the parts: the server, any disk priced apart, and the IPv4 charge. Some prices exclude VAT or need a commitment; the plan notes say which. Check the provider's pricing page before you commit.

Where RackNerd wins
- Twelve listed locations, including Amsterdam, Dublin, France and Toronto
- A free IPv4 address and a 1 Gbps port come with every plan
- Storage is RAID-10 SSD, so a single disk failure does not take the server down
Where it does not
- The regular monthly list price is higher than the same-size plans at DigitalOcean, Vultr and Akamai Cloud
- Unmanaged: you run the operating system, security updates and backups yourself
- Cheapest plans are sold per year, so a monthly comparison needs the 1 GB plan and up
Who should actually pick this
Buyers who want a US location close to their users and plan to take an annual or promotional offer.
Support: Support is staffed 24x7, according to its VPS page.
