VPS cost calculator: what you will really pay

The advertised price is rarely what leaves your pocket. Choose how long you'll use the server and see each provider's total, including renewals, minimum terms and taxes.

What the calculator takes into account

• Minimum term: Hostinger's lowest price requires 24 months paid upfront. If you only use it for one year, you still pay for two, and the monthly average doubles.
• Renewal: after the first term, Hostinger renews at a higher price. Contabo bills monthly at a discount for 24 months, then renews at the standard price.
• Taxes: enter the VAT or sales tax rate for your country. Hetzner bills in euros; the calculator converts at the October 23, 2026 rate.
• Cost per GB of RAM: shows how much you pay per gigabyte of memory, the resource that matters most when choosing.

Prices checked on October 28, 2026. Renewal prices may change. Always check on the provider's website before buying. Some links are affiliate links.
