What the model leaves out

Prices are in EUR, shown with 0% VAT; converted at the ECB reference rate of 2026-10-02 ($1.1225 per €1): CPX12 €11.99 → $13.46/month, extra traffic €1.00/TB → about $0.0011/GB. The included 20 TB is per server; the model counts it once, which only matters above 20 TB. CPX12 is listed for EU (Falkenstein, Nuremberg, Helsinki) and Singapore only. When CX23 is in stock it would be the cheapest qualifying server at €5.99 (≈ $6.72). Whether the listed price includes a primary IPv4 address wasn't stated on the page and isn't modelled. No free tier, no seat fees.

Before you commit
  • Servers are billed until you delete them, not while they run: a powered-off server still costs its hourly rate, up to the monthly cap.
  • Included traffic depends on location: at least 20 TB per server in the EU, but only 0.5 TB per CPX12 in Singapore, where each extra TB costs €7.40.
  • The cheaper Cost-Optimized servers (CX23, 2 vCPU / 4 GB, €5.99/month) have limited availability and were marked not available on the check date.
