How we count
On today's data, OVHcloud undercuts IONOS on memory, at a typical $1.23 per GB of RAM a month against $3. The cheapest way in is OVHcloud at $5.02 a month (VPS-1 2027 · 2 vCPU / 4 GB · EU). OVHcloud counters with broader reach: 28 locations against 5.
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. The typical price per GB of RAM is the middle one of each provider's plans.
Each size is the cheapest plan with at least that much RAM and less than twice as much, so the two sides compare like with like; a provider with no plan in that range has no row there. Only a size where both plans include a disk names a cheaper side. A plan whose provider was last read more than three days ago, or that is sold out, is not a pick.
Prices exclude VAT, fetched 31 Oct 2026 from each provider's own API or public price page. How each one is read is on the data health page.
