The cheapest VPS to host Apache Cassandra, by its own requirements

Apache Cassandra is a distributed NoSQL database. At its recommended spec (8 vCPU, 32 GB RAM), the cheapest plan we track is Hostinger KVM 8 at $25.99 a month (24-month commitment, ex VAT), and 13 providers have a plan that fits. At the bare minimum (2 vCPU, 8 GB RAM), Contabo Cloud VPS 4 at $6.60 (ex VAT) would do.

What Apache Cassandra's documentation asks for

Minimum
2 vCPU, 8 GB RAM
Recommended
8 vCPU, 32 GB RAM

From the documentation: While Cassandra can be made to run on small servers for testing or development environments (including Raspberry Pis), a minimal production server requires at least 2 cores, and at least 8GB of RAM. Typical production servers have 8 or more cores and at least 32GB of RAM.

Source: Apache Cassandra documentation, read 2026-10-11.

  • The recommended figure is what the page calls a typical production server. Smaller machines are fine for testing or development.
  • ECC RAM should always be used. The Java heap should be at least 2GB and no more than 50% of system RAM.

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.
