VPS hosting compared
The cheapest VPS plan at each host we track, with the renewal price next to the intro price and the 2-year cost worked out. Sorted by what you actually pay.
These are not our rankings. Our scores measure each host's shared hosting — that is what we assessed. Ranking VPS products by those scores would claim an assessment we have not made, so this page does not rank anything and shows no scores.
What it does do is the thing worth doing: put the renewal price beside the intro price. Every figure below was read off the vendor's own VPS page and names that page. How we source figures →
| Host | Entry plan | Intro / mo | Renews at | 2-yr cost | RAM | Storage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| IONOS | VPS S+ 12-month term | $2 | $5 +150% | $84 | 2 GB RAM | 90 GB NVMe |
| Hostinger | KVM 1 24-month term | $6.49 | $11.99 +85% | $156 | 4 GB RAM | 50 GB NVMe |
| DreamHost | VPS Stack 4 3-month term | $8.99 | $15.99 +78% | $363 | 4 GB RAM | 75 GB NVMe SSD |
| ChemiCloud | Cloud 1 12-month term | $29.95 | $54.95 +83% | $1,019 | 4 GB RAM | 80 GB NVMe |
| GreenGeeks | VPS 4 GB monthly | $69.95 | not published | unknowable | 4 GB RAM | 75 GB SSD |
2-year cost assumes the intro rate for its stated term and the renewal rate after it. Where a host publishes no renewal rate the total is left blank rather than guessed — that gap is the host's choice, and it is worth knowing before you commit.
Where each figure came from
Prices move. Confirm on the host's own checkout page before buying — and if one of these is wrong, tell us and we will fix it.
