One interesting metric for looking at VPS offers is “how much GB of RAM per month does it cost”. For example, DigitalOcean will charge you $6/GB/month because a 1GB VPS costs $6/month.
Sometimes we see offers in the $2-3/GB/month range – e.g., a 2GB VPS for $6/month or a 1GB for $4/month.
But under 90 cents/GB/month? That’s crazy talk. No one does that. You’re dreaming. Wake up and…oh, wait, CloudServer is having a sale!
- Let’s start with a 4GB system. Get it for as cheap as $21 for 6 months – that’s $3.50/month or only 88 cents/GB!
- Want something bigger? Same or better pricing on big 8GB and 16GB systems as well!
Even if you want to pay month-to-month, you can get $2/GB/month which is still an awesome deal!

Hello, if we buy the monthly plan can we switch to the semi-annual plan at a later date and still get the discount?
Hello,
Yes if you decide to do that I will honor the price at a later date if you open a ticket and reference this comment to remind me. Thank you for considering CloudServer!
any benchmark report ?
These are KVM, correct? Just making sure, I see no reference to KVM, OpenVZ, etc.
Yes, these are KVM.
This does appear to be KVM – not a container. Here are some test results:
