GB and GiB are shown as published. CPU count does not imply equal performance. Region availability, taxes, IPv4 and add-on charges are not fully verified; estimates are base compute only. There is no cheapest-provider ranking.

Build your own cost scenario

Enter the exact terms from the provider's checkout. This calculator does not turn unverified terms into a quote.

Example: KVM 1, 24-month term checked September 15, 2026. Taxes, daily backups and domain renewal excluded; extras assumed billed monthly. Current checkout conditions may change.

How costs and evidence are handled

Base estimates for monthly services equal the current rate multiplied by the horizon, assuming continuous use and unchanged prices. Prepaid plans require the initial term before a total can be calculated. Cash paid includes full renewal blocks purchased before the horizon ends. Allocated cost counts only months used. These are different numbers.

Provider selection is incomplete. A published plan is not a performance test, checkout verification, or guarantee of availability. The calculator runs in your browser without tracking or account access. Plans are research snapshots; check the official quote before buying.
