Top match Virtual server (VPS)

Vultr Cloud Compute

≈$20/mo vc2-2c-4gb

2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 80 GB SSD, 3 TB transfer.

Free option
Limited early-access plan: 1 vCPU, 512 MB RAM, and 10 GB disk in Seattle, Frankfurt, or Miami. Confirm access in your account before relying on it.
Why it fits
Developers who want a cheap server near their users, wherever those users are.
How deploys work
You get root on a fresh Linux server; setup and deploys are yours to script.
The tradeoff
Fully self-managed, and the hour-based billing model is less forgiving than per-second rivals.
  • You install, secure, and back up the database yourself.

Option 2 Virtual server (VPS)

Netcup VPS / Root Server

≈€19.25/mo VPS 2000 G12

Incl. 19% VAT. 8 shared vCores, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB NVMe, unmetered traffic.

Why it fits
European projects that want the most NVMe and RAM per euro and can live with German contract formalities.
How deploys work
You get root on a bare server: bring your own setup; the Server Control Panel handles images, snapshots, and a remote console.
The tradeoff
Best-in-class specs per euro, but 12-month terms, strict signup checks, and an unforgiving abuse process.
  • You install, secure, and back up the database yourself.

Option 3 Virtual server (VPS)

OVHcloud VPS

≈€19.96/mo VPS-4

From-price with commitment. 8 shared vCores, 24 GB RAM, 200 GB NVMe, unlimited traffic at 3 Gbps.

Why it fits
Traffic-heavy European projects that want unmetered bandwidth and an included IPv4 at rock-bottom prices.
How deploys work
You get root on a bare server: pick a distro or an app image (Docker, WordPress, cPanel) and set everything up yourself.
The tradeoff
Entirely self-managed, headline prices need a commitment, and support below premium tiers is slow.
  • You install, secure, and back up the database yourself.
