How we compare

Everyone’s month-to-month price, side by side with the vCPU and RAM it actually buys. No introductory rates on either side.

Prices are each provider’s own published month-to-month price, ex VAT, checked 1–2 October 2026; Hostinger has no monthly plan, so its figure is the monthly rate of a 24-month term paid up front. US-dollar prices converted at 1 GBP = 1.3234 USD (ECB reference rate, 1 October 2026). Introductory offers are excluded on both sides — our £28.99 is what Professional costs every month and what it renews at, and a 12-month term renews at £347.88 a year. The price shown is the price you pay — no VAT is added.
