The main factors that make a VPS price vary

Choosing a VPS (Virtual Private Server) involves understanding what determines its cost. Indeed, several elements can impact the final invoice:

• Material resources
  • CPU : The computing power (number of cores) directly affects the performance and therefore the price.
  • RAM : The more RAM you have, the more applications you can run simultaneously.
  • Storage : The type of disk (HDD, SSD or NVMe) and the desired capacity also affect the price.
• Location of the datacenter
  On-premises or in a reputable datacenter hosting may be slightly more expensive, but often offers better latency and enhanced regulatory compliance.
• Bandwidth and traffic
  Some offers include a monthly transfer quota, beyond which you pay a surplus. Others offer unlimited traffic, usually at a slightly higher cost.
• Additional services
  Managed services, automatic backups, anti-DDoS protection... All of these services contribute to safety and peace of mind, but they are also expensive.

What price range for a VPS?

Entry level

• Limited resources : 1 to 2 CPUs, 1 to 2 GB of RAM, modest storage.
• Usage : Low traffic websites, test projects or light applications.
• Indicative budget : A few tens of euros per month.

Mid-range

• Balanced configuration : 2 to 4 CPUs, 4 to 8 GB of RAM and one SSD storage.
• Usage : Medium-sized e-commerce sites, business applications, small databases.
• Indicative budget : From 30 € to 80 €/month depending on the options.

High-end

• High resources: 8 or more CPUs, 16 GB of RAM and ultra-fast NVMe storage.
• Usage: Critical environments, high traffic volumes or high computing needs.
• Indicative budget: From 80 € per month, which can rise above 200 € depending on the specifications.

Managed or self-managed VPS: what impact on the price?

• Managed VPS : The host manages monitoring, updates, security patches and advanced support. This is a service that is particularly useful if you do not have an in-house technical team. The cost is usually higher, but you save time and serenity.
• Self-managed VPS : You are responsible for the daily administration, maintenance and configurations. Cheaper, but requires more internal skills.
