VPS costs and provider billing

Costs, billing models, provider comparisons from sourced data.

What a VPS costs and how providers bill for it, from sourced and dated data. These posts draw on the Hourly VPS Fine-Print Index, which records each provider's billing unit, monthly cap, stopped-server rule and IPv4 fee, with a link to the source. Start with how much a VPS costs for sourced prices from 20 providers, then compare the fine print of three large providers in Vultr vs DigitalOcean vs Hetzner. For the rules behind the numbers, read the billing guides, or run your own figures in the VPS cost calculator.
