The cheapest VPS to host Rocket.Chat, by its own requirements
Rocket.Chat is a self-hosted team chat platform. At its minimum spec (2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 20 GB disk), the cheapest plan we track is VPSDime Linux 4GB at $5.00 a month, and 43 providers have a plan that fits.
What Rocket.Chat's documentation asks for
- Minimum
- 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 20 GB disk
- Recommended
- not stated
From the documentation: Starter, up to 500 concurrent users. Rocket.Chat: 2 vCPU, 4 GiB memory, 20 GiB storage. MongoDB: 2 vCPU, 4 GiB, 10 GiB. The specifications above are minimum requirements.
Source: Rocket.Chat documentation, read 2026-10-11.
- The table below matches Rocket.Chat’s own figures. MongoDB is sized separately (2 vCPU, 4 GiB, 10 GiB), so one server running both needs more.
Cheapest plan per provider at the minimum spec
One row per provider: its cheapest unmanaged plan with at least 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 20 GB disk. Ranked on the real monthly cost, including a separately billed IPv4 address where that applies.

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.
