The cheapest VPS to host Rundeck Open Source, by its own requirements
Rundeck Open Source is an open-source runbook automation and job scheduling server. At its minimum spec (2 vCPU, 8 GB RAM), the cheapest plan we track is Contabo Cloud VPS 4 at $6.60 a month (ex VAT), and 37 providers have a plan that fits.
What Rundeck Open Source's documentation asks for
- Minimum
- 2 vCPU, 8 GB RAM
- Recommended
- not stated
From the documentation: Server Profile, Rundeck Open Source: Minimum: 8GB RAM; (4GB JVM Heap); 2 CPUs per instance; Equivalent to m4.large in AWS EC2
Source: Rundeck Open Source documentation, read 2026-10-11.
- 4 GB of the 8 GB goes to the JVM heap, and no disk figure is given. The larger profiles on the page (16 GB/4 CPUs minimum, 32 GB/8 CPUs recommended) are for Runbook Automation Self-Hosted.
- Needs Java 17. The built-in H2 database is for testing only; production should use an external database such as MariaDB/MySQL or PostgreSQL.
Cheapest plan per provider at the minimum spec
One row per provider: its cheapest unmanaged plan with at least 2 vCPU, 8 GB RAM. 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.
