Same RAM. Different bill.
We read the public pricing pages of the hosts people compare us with and wrote down what they charge for the same amount of RAM. Every number links to its source. Nothing is estimated.

05 / How we checked
The rules we used.
- Prices read on 2026-09-03 from each host's own public pricing page. They change often, so treat this as a snapshot, not a promise.
- Recurring list price on monthly billing, in USD. Intro coupons and first-month offers are noted but not used, and neither is our own WELCOME20.
- Prices that require prepaying a year or two are shown in the notes, not as the headline number.
- We matched RAM only. CPU, storage, locations and support models differ between hosts and are not scored here.
- Spotted something out of date? Tell us and we'll re-check.
