Kamatera

Configurable cloud servers from US$4 a month, billed by the hour or month

Overview

Kamatera sells configurable cloud servers in which CPU type, cores, RAM, storage and traffic are chosen separately rather than from fixed bundles. Its pricing page states that servers start at US$4 a month with no long-term contracts.[12]

The Basic preset has one vCPU of the Type A (availability) class, 1 GB RAM and 20 GB NVMe storage for US$4 a month; Standard (two General Purpose vCPUs, 2 GB) costs US$25 and Pro (two vCPUs, 4 GB) US$39, each with 5 TB of internet traffic. A price estimator shows hourly rates and separate prices for powered-on and powered-off servers.[12] The location list on the pricing page includes US sites such as Santa Clara, Miami, Chicago, New York, Seattle and Dallas.[12]

Kamatera suits users who need unusual combinations of CPU and memory. Its General Purpose presets are considerably more expensive than equivalent shared-vCPU plans at DigitalOcean or Hetzner, and the configurator takes more effort than picking a fixed plan.
