The cheapest and typical monthly price for each amount of memory, and how providers compare per GB, from 163 available VPS plans priced in US dollars or euros, by 24 providers in our catalog. The CSV also lists 5 plans priced in other currencies.
In short
2 GB of memory: from $9.99 a month (Hostwinds); the median plan costs $12.00.
4 GB of memory: from $4.54 a month (OVHcloud); the median plan costs $21.73.

Price by memory size (USD)
131 plans priced in USD. Cheapest and median use shared-vCPU plans; dedicated-CPU plans are shown separately because they cost more for the same memory. The median is across plans, so a provider with many variants of one size counts more than once.

Price per GB of memory by provider (USD)
Median monthly price divided by memory across each provider's available plans in USD; providers with at least three such plans. It mixes each provider's plan sizes, and smaller plans usually cost more per GB. Lower means more memory for the money, not a faster server.

How the index is built
The index uses every VPS plan in our catalog that is available to order, has a current standard list price and lists its memory. Introductory and promotional prices are left out, and so are hourly plans without a monthly cap, because their monthly cost depends on how long the server runs. Prices are monthly, before tax and add-ons such as backups or extra IPv4 addresses.
Prices are never converted between currencies, so dollar and euro plans are ranked separately. Each plan links to its own page, where you can see its specifications, regions, the date we last checked the price and its price history. How we compare plans.
You are welcome to cite or reuse these figures with a link to this page. The CSV download lists every plan included.
