Cloud Hosting Cost Comparison Calculator

Estimate monthly cloud hosting costs based on resource needs.

Monthly Cost = (Compute Rate x Hours x Instances) + (Storage GB x Storage Rate) + (Bandwidth GB x Bandwidth Rate). Annual Cost = Monthly Cost x 12.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which cloud provider is cheapest?
For basic workloads, DigitalOcean and Hetzner are typically cheapest. Among the Big 3, GCP often edges out AWS and Azure on compute pricing. However, total cost depends on your specific usage of compute, storage, bandwidth, and managed services. Reserved instances can save 30-60% on any provider.
How can I reduce cloud hosting costs?
Key strategies include using reserved or spot instances (30-70% savings), right-sizing instances, auto-scaling to match demand, using cheaper regions, optimizing storage tiers, reducing data egress, and leveraging free tiers. Cloud cost optimization tools like AWS Cost Explorer or Infracost help identify savings.
