How we count
The figure is the monthly price divided by the RAM per node, which puts a 4 GB database and a 64 GB one on the same axis. The floor is a single node of 4 GB or more, where a database stops being a toy. 45 databases clear it, from $15.23/GB RAM against a typical $15.23/GB RAM. It says nothing about the processor or the disk. A price is what one month costs, in the provider's own currency converted to dollars, excluding tax. Disk beyond the included size, backups and transfer are billed on top wherever the provider says so, and the provider's page carries those rates.
