How we count
49 of the 527 plans in our index cost under $10/mo with a disk included. At this budget the value leaders already give you 2 to 4 vCPUs and 4 to 8 GB of RAM. The top pick offers 1 vCPU · 1 GB RAM · 10 GB SSD for $0.49/mo.
Value is hardware per dollar: RAM, vCPU, disk and bandwidth for the price, scored out of 100 the same way for every plan in the index.
Every price is the standard monthly rate for a plan with a disk included, before VAT. A plan whose provider was last read more than three days ago, or that the provider shows as sold out, keeps its place but cannot be first.
A plan a provider sells from several price lists, one per currency, is one row at its best-placed price, and the row names the other lists. No provider holds more than 2 of the top 10, so the list shows the market rather than one catalogue; the plans that would have placed are named under the list.
