No list-price changes yet. DigitalOcean and Linode tracked since 2026-09-26, the others since 2026-10-09; checked twice a day. A movers board appears here when a price moves. EUR prices are tracked in EUR, so exchange rates do not count.
2 vCPU / 4 GB: the same box, six prices
Each provider’s cheapest 2 vCPU / 4 GB plan with a public IPv4, list price in USD since we started tracking it. Flat lines mean the price has not moved. Scaleway is converted from EUR at the ECB rate of the day it was recorded.

List price vs what you actually pay
Most providers include a public IPv4 and the disk. Scaleway does not: a flexible IPv4 is billed by the hour and storage is a separate line, so its list price understates the bill most for small plans. We add the IPv4 to every all-in price; disk is left out because its size is your choice.
- DigitalOceanIPv4, disk and transfer included
- VultrIPv4, disk and transfer included
- Akamai / LinodeIPv4, disk and transfer included
- OVHcloudIPv4, disk and unmetered traffic included
- AWS LightsailIPv4 included; IPv6-only bundles are cheaper
- ScalewayIPv4 extra (+$3.27/mo), disk billed separately

First term vs renewal
191 of 191 plans renew at the same price you start on: none of these six providers publishes an intro price that jumps at renewal. The only lever is commitment. OVHcloud sells the same VPS cheaper if you commit for 6 or 12 months; after the term it bills at the regular price.
| OVHcloud | No commitment | 6 months | 12 months | Saving | After the term |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| VPS-1 2027 | $5.35 | $5.08 | $4.54 | −15% | $5.35 |
| VPS-2 2027 | $10.00 | $9.50 | $8.50 | −15% | $10.00 |
| VPS-3 2027 | $14.50 | $13.77 | $12.32 | −15% | $14.50 |
| VPS-4 2027 | $27.50 | $26.12 | $23.37 | −15% | $27.50 |
DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode, AWS Lightsail and Scaleway list no commitment discount for these plans in the sources we collect.
