1 GB RAM VPS: every plan we track, cheapest first

We track 204 plans from 44 providers that qualify. The cheapest is CloudCone SSD VPS 1 at $2.33 a month (12-month commitment) for 2 vCPU, 1 GB RAM and 30 GB of RAID-10 SSD storage.

The middle of the range is $17.45 a month.

19 of these prices need a prepaid term; the row says how long. If you want to pay month to month, see the no-contract list.

The cheapest alternative from a different provider is Webdock VPS Essential at $2.41 (ex VAT).

What counts: Plans with at least 1 GB of RAM, cheapest first, so a bigger plan appears only when it costs less.

Showing the cheapest 30 of 204. Filter all plans.

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.

Ranked on the real monthly cost: where a provider bills the public IPv4 address separately, it is added. IPv6-only plans and managed hosting are left out. Prices are read from each provider's own pricing page or API, most of them daily; see the methodology.
