How we count
Every price is what a month costs over the first year: the monthly price plus a twelfth of the setup fee, converted to dollars and excluding tax. A provider that states no setup fee is counted at its monthly price and its rows say so, because an unstated fee is not a fee of zero.
Cores are physical cores across the whole server: the CPU's cores times its sockets, never threads. A row is the server at its base configuration; the memory, disks and port a provider offers as upgrades are on its own page. A price read for the first time, or that moved a lot, is marked while a second reading checks it, and gives the lead to a price that is confirmed or a week old whenever the list has one.
- $1,776 setup
- A one-time setup fee; a twelfth of it is in the first-year monthly price.
