Methodology

How do we calculate the cost?

Three simple steps that turn the listed price into a number closer to the real invoice.

1. Match specifications

We exclude every plan that does not meet the required CPU, RAM and storage, then sort the matching plans by actual cost. If no full match exists, we show the closest plan with a clear warning.

2. Add the hidden costs

We add backups at each provider's rate, extra IPv4 addresses, the control panel license, and the cost of every terabyte beyond the included traffic — the line items that usually get forgotten.

3. Compare in your currency

We convert provider prices to USD, EUR or Saudi Riyal at approximate exchange rates and show monthly and yearly costs together. The final price at checkout may differ slightly.

Reference exchange rates (1 EUR ≈ 1.10 USD, 1 USD = 3.75 SAR) were updated on 2026-11-14 from open.er-api.com (USD base). Provider prices are collected automatically from public pricing pages and provider APIs and published after passing the guardrails. Affiliate links (if activated later) do not change the order of results.

FAQ

Before you choose

Direct answers about how we calculate, how accurate the prices are, and affiliate links.

How does the calculator compute the cost?
We start from the provider's listed plan price, then add backups at the provider's rate, extra IPv4 addresses if selected, the control panel license if enabled, and any traffic beyond what the plan includes. The result is shown monthly and yearly in your chosen currency.
Are the prices up to date, and do they match my invoice?
We collect provider prices automatically from public pricing pages and provider APIs every six hours, and a change is published only after it passes the guardrails (price bounds and change limits); outliers are quarantined instead of published. Last price check: 14 November 2026; last exchange-rate update: 2026-11-14. Prices remain estimates that vary by region, taxes and promotions, so confirm the final price with the provider before buying.
Why do some plans show as the 'closest available plan'?
When a provider has no plan that meets every specification you asked for (especially large storage), we show the closest plan instead of hiding the provider, with a clear note about what falls short. You can then adjust your requirements or choose another provider.
Are the links on the site affiliate links?
No affiliate links are active right now; every provider link points to the provider's official website. If we activate a partnership later, we will disclose it here before using it. Ordering in the calculator is based on the calculated cost and specifications, not on the commission amount.
What does Oracle's free plan mean?
Oracle offers an Always Free tier with up to 4 ARM OCPUs, 24 GB of RAM and 10 TB of monthly egress, but it is subject to capacity availability in your region, requires a credit card for verification, and idle resources may be reclaimed. We show it with a 'free with conditions' badge because it is not a guaranteed replacement for every project.
Can I share the calculation with my team?
Yes. The 'Copy calculator link' button copies a URL containing every specification, add-on and the selected currency, and opens the same result for anyone.
