The cheapest VPS to host The Littlest JupyterHub, by its own requirements
The Littlest JupyterHub is a JupyterHub distribution for a single server. At its minimum spec (1 GB RAM), the cheapest plan we track is CloudCone SSD VPS 1 at $2.33 a month (12-month commitment), and 44 providers have a plan that fits.
What The Littlest JupyterHub's documentation asks for
- Minimum
- 1 GB RAM
- Recommended
- not stated
From the documentation: Memory is usually the biggest determinant of server size in most JupyterHub installations. At minimum, your server must have at least 1GB of RAM for TLJH to install.
Source: The Littlest JupyterHub documentation, read 2026-10-11.
- Recommended memory is (max concurrent users × max memory per user) + 128 MB overhead for TLJH and related services; the page calls these guidelines and suggests erring toward more memory.
- Recommended disk is (total users × max disk per user) + 2 GB; CPU overhead for TLJH is about 20% of one modern CPU.
Cheapest plan per provider at the minimum spec
One row per provider: its cheapest unmanaged plan with at least 1 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.
